I think your shots are great. Also vaguely recognized some of those places; I spent some time in Nicaragua several years ago. Again, great vivid photos.

Is it too corny to suggest a tire boot? You know the kind.

I say start a new thread so the entire thing is dedicated to your travel progress. Photo suggestions: Shoot early in the day or late in the day for that "softer" light (example here, late after noon) Get closer. Were there little critters on the shoreline of Erie? Close up of your bike with...

My favorite kind of trip. My favorite kind of girl, too. My favorite peninsula . . . while we're at it.

Alignment yes. Upgrade no. I've still got them in there. You can replace the shock, hell even the spring, but there is no information out there about doing so - other than AC sells a replacement spring and shock. So, obviously other combos will work. I have a hard time with dropping $1K on...

What a trip! Right "up my alley." I did ride along with the BP a few months ago and wrote an article about the experience. BP has a fleet of TJs, as well as Tahoes, Chargers, Humvees, and a few other vehicles. The TJs are trashed after years of use (and abuse) Agents are not trained on...

Another "Americano intelegente" moment? You're like the king of tow strap recovery in all parts North American. 1. Is it coming out of your mouth or your butt? You should see what's coming out of the butts at home right now. 2. Are you seeking out a little money and a place to go where you...

(Radio Shack 19-318A speakers are perfectly fine . . .) :REOutArchery02:

Sorry. I mentioned the radio for Brian’s sake since it has a removable face that he was talking about. Correction, too about the speaker. It’s a Radio Shack #19-318A, which isn’t available any more. A few are on ebay, though. So what’s the problem with the radio shack speaker, Gary? It’s...

TX power and frequency can be adjusted with the mic handset . . . on most radios. Okay, at least the two I have. Yaesu. Anyway, external speakers. I've got one in the Jeep and one in the truck. Both a little 1.5" or 2" cube from radio shack. Right here. Mounted like this. That radio is...

You've got all the hilarious stuff today. PA's and fire pits. I seemed to have scored this beautiful washing machine basin from BMAN some time ago: Not nearly as classy as that WEBER unit

A lot of CBs have a PA "option." I'm pretty certain all you need is that lovely bull horn speaker on top. Very expedition:

No worries about the questions - it's rare that I actually have more answers than questions. I recently did a bunch of research about shackles, though, so it's all fresh in my brain. This page has some great information regarding shackles. My abbreviated version is this: shackles change the...

Correct. News in some auto pubs are saying that a Titan diesel option should be ready for the 2009 model year.

Total droooooool. Beautiful set up he has. His suspension is partly why I ask about custom valving. But then I helped my brother, Greg, install the Donohoe/Deaver with the Bil 5100 on his '07 Taco and noticed that the truck just felt great as we motored through the neighborhood clobbering...

Actually the bushings from AC are not necessary. You re-use the OEM bushings. I presume they sell them in case you (somehow) damage the existing bushings, or feel better by replacing them. But you could also get the bushings from a local Nissan dealer, too. Having dealt with both the AC...

Sorry. Missed this. Okay, custom valved. I presume you're happy with that? But do you have any idea what the valving is? That's the part that tends to be top secret. I'm trying to learn all I can.

Okay, gotcha. BTW, I forgot to mention that I'm looking at rear suspension in this instance. That's cool that you have experience with those two valve settings. I am considering the 5150 with a 255/70 setting, but started to wonder about specifically tuned shocks for my application. All...

Do you know what the valving is on your shocks? Or is it top secret? Have you had shocks tuned to your vehicle requirements? Appropriate to weight and anticipated usage? Or did you simply buy a shock of the correct length and off-the-shelf valving, and called it good? Or did your shocks...

Mineral spirits (aka paint thinner), Naptha, or good ol' fashioned dirt. The other question: velcro has gotten along without that gooey stuff since the beginning of time. Why the gooey stuff now?
