    Canon G11 - Impressions

    So, this was an interesting review. It almost makes it sound like the S90 is the better buy in the end. What it did do for me is to get me looking at other cameras that end up getting listed in reviews. So now I am looking at these, Canon S90 Panasonic Lumix LX3 I have to say, reading the...

    HID conversion for stock JK fogs?

    I think Gear has done this. Might PM him. IIRC, he did the headlights and fog lights. Recall they were bright as we were leaving the Meet and Greet back in Aug.

    Canon G11 - Impressions

    Thanks for posting those. I looked at a number of them but the one that kind of has me baffled to why it looks so bad is IMG 0021.jpg. Why is that one so grainy? I noticed the ISO was 3200 and since I am a newbie when it comes to better cameras and manual settings, if this is what is produced...

    Canon G11 - Impressions

    You are correct, from what I read on Canon's site, you need to have another Canon camera software to be able to install and use the Professional Pro software. I am not going to do this just to open the files above. As for PS CS2, it does what I need it to and I haven't felt the need to buy 3...

    Knee Problem in 3-5 hours?

    Having had three knee surgeries on my right knee and am headed for a knee replacement at some future (hopefully at least 20 years from now), knee problems suck. Based on what you are saying, I am going to place my bets on a torn meniscus. That is what caused my third surgery. Unlike the...

    Canon G11 - Impressions

    Sucks that Canon is not using the standard .raw file and this new .CR2. I have Photoshop CS2 and would like to just open the raw files without having to put another application on to do so. I was really hoping to see what these pics look like as I am really considering the move to a G11 as my...

    Doc's 05 Tacoma Build Thread

    Very nice Dave!!!! Congrats and I look forward to seeing it in person one of these days, hopefully soon. BTW, off topic, we tried calling you this past Sunday to get the name/number of that pizza place we had during the gear install. Lisa and I were driving down from Big Bear (in the Miata)...

    What is your view on Rubincon?

    Check out my review I posted yesterday, after having a JK Unlimited (4 door) Rubicon for a week in Hawaii. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33588 It might help give you a feel in real world use. I have spent a week with a 4 door, non Rubicon and another week with a 2...

    My Review: One week and a '09 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

    Hummm... funny you say this. I have been told by many, many people who have read stories, trip reviews, product reviews, etc. that I should be a writer. I like to tell stories, make the person reading it, feel like they were the one having the experience. If serious, PM me and we can talk...

    My Review: One week and a '09 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

    I am not disagreeing that there could stand some improvement but compared to the soft top, the hardtop wins hands down in this catagory. We had rented a 4 door and 2 door soft top JK's in two previous trips to Hawaii and between the two of them, logged almost 1500 miles. Prior to renting any...

    My Review: One week and a '09 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

    Thank for the props. Means a lot coming from someone in the mag/e-zine industry. Hummm.... I would have to think about that for a moment. My guess would be that I would start with replacing hard parts that have been prone to failure or wear. Things like stock control arms, maybe something...

    My Review: One week and a '09 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

    So, I thought I would do a write up about my week long rental of a ’09 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. All of the info I present is of my opinion and take them as you will. My wife and I took a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii and originally had our reservation for a Wrangler 4x4 2 door...

    OME AAL or Airlift suspension.

    I have yet to hear any real complants about OME AAL's and that would be my first choice. As for online vendors, my first choice for anything OME is Dirk at DPG Offroad http://www.dpgoff-road.com/

    OME AAL or Airlift suspension.

    Since I am very happy with the ride and height unloaded, adding any AAL is going to change one or both of those items. With an air bag system, I only use it when I need it. Ride won't change when unloaded nor lift height. That is the advantage of having something adjustable versus a static...

    More battery help...

    No, I am not. I even did a Google search and found reviews on the exact one I have, which is not the marine version. I don't understand why Sears has removed the standard 34 version from the web site. I did notice that there was a number of references to group 34/78 which are the same...

    More battery help...

    I don't recall what model it was but I put a Sear's Platinum in my 2000 XJ and it fit fine. Almost a year in the Jeep and hasn't missed a beat. Let me see if I can find out the group number. Okay, went out and checked. It is labeled as a Group 34 but I checked the Sears web site and you are...

    OME AAL or Airlift suspension.

    I haven't done it yet as I am knee deep into my frame off '68 C10 project truck. The poor XJ is just not gettin' the love. :D Actually, it has made it to a higher priority after this past weekend trip. With the fridge, dog and adding a few more things to haul on the trailer, I was noticing...
