    Alternative to Pelican 1730?

    I'd put the table in a seperate case - maybe a big piece of 12" diameter PVC pipe with a removable end bolted to the roof rack. My aluminum table won't get hurt if it gets wet so I usually just strap it down between a couple of the 1600 series Pelicans I use for my other stuff. that way you...

    Hannibal Awning on LR D90 1.5m vs. 1.7m

    I have a 1.5m Hanniabl on my D-90 - I'm not sure a 1.7 would fit. I've seen 1.7m on 110's. On the other hand the 1.7m could probably be narrowed up a bit - the cross bar at the end is the only mechanical difference and a canvas shop could modify the cover so if its cheap enough - go for it.

    Next Lens

    I use my 24-70 F2.8L lens about 90% of the time - expensive but a great lens. I'm shooting with a full frame 1DsMKII now so I really like the wide angle but it was a good choice on my 20D before I upgraded too. Now I want a 17-40....photography - the hobby that never stops.

    On Board Hot Water Install for Shower

    My setup - I used a flat plate style heat exchanger I sourced off Ebay for around $75, a Shurflo 2 gpm pump, a mixing shower head and various quick disconnect fittings and hose from Mcmaster-Carr, and a Pelican case I had lying around. I figured I'd put the pump and plumbing distribution in...

    Video of Deploying and Packing a Hannibal Awning

    Mine shed rain pretty well in a deluge last September. We had a strong rainstorm blow in at a car show and it didn't collect much water. I didn't have side straps pulled too tightly either.

    Cooper Discoverer STT in a 255/85-16?

    I run 235/85R16's on my Defender - I'm running the BFG Mud T/A Km2's now but had Cooper STT's previously. I liked the Coopers except I didn't see the tread wear I expected out of them - somewhere in the mid 20K range. I've been spoiled by BFG where I get mid 30K to 40K out of them for around the...

    Best free video hosting/sharing site

    For still pictures I'm using the smugmug pay site but I'm much happier with it than I was with photobucket - no annoying ads and its run by the guy who runs ADVRIDER so it helps to support one of my favorite websites. Well worth the $20 a year or so it costs. I'm not sure if they have a video...

    Can a 90 pull a trailer?

    900 Lb trailer is no problem for a 90 - my Boler weighed around that and I towed it to MAR and Uwharrie with no issues. I've also towed a friends single axle aluminum car trailer with my 1800 lb 356 Porsche loaded on it for many trips - it was a bit slower but still comfortable. I'd try not to...

    Post your Camp Awnings

    No its a 1978 Boler 13' fiberglass trailer - they were built from the early 1970's to the mid-1980's and then the Scamp Trailer company bought the molds. It weighs around 900 lbs and tows like a dream. I just sold it for $3600 to help finance my Porsche 356 restoration. For lots more...

    Lifting a Scamp Trailer?

    I had a 13' Boler (predecessor to the Scamp) and I towed it behind my Defender up smooth dirt roads with no issues. The Bolers have trailing link style axle and you can purchase the axles in different drop angles which will effectively raise the trailer a couple of inches. I've also seen...
