    Best place to live?!?!

    Well have been in Colorado since the 70's. Then it was mostly a conservative / libertarian State. The only place to reject the Olympics. State Representative Bob Jackson from Pueblo said in 1972 “We ought to say to the nation and the world, ‘We’re sorry, we are concerned about the environment...

    Discovery 3 (LR3) and Discovery 4 (LR4) Registry

    How do you 'air down' a low profile tire? ....... You can't. General recommendation - ditch low profile tires, increase the overall volume of air for tire to allow effective airing down. Also wider tires are more effective.

    What Is The Best Topo Map App For iPad

    Have started to investigate MyTrails which I currently have running on my Blackberry Passport. Promising so far but reserve opinion. Does support offline maps. Would think the smartphone should support micorSD memory expansion for local map storage. ( Passport = 128GB, Priv = 2TB )

    LR4 tires for 19"

    Our LR4 came with 20" wheels. To put it mildly they looked scary. No sidewall. Immediately ditched them for MotorSport-Tech spacers and 18" LR3 10-spokes. Tire of choice was the Load range E General Grabber AT2 in 285/60-18. We did the Ouray to Silverton section of Engineer's Pass last summer...

    LR4 multi purpose duty

    The critical metric is ohmic resistance of the connector. Cigarette lighter sockets were designed in the 50's? Mass produced and cheap. Poor contact area = high resistance = heat / voltage drop. Found here Anderson is the way to go. Low resistance = 600 micro-ohms up to 45a which results in...

    Nothing that a little bondo and rattle can green wouldn't work.

    LR4 Extended Rail Roof Rack Options

    If the full length rails are for aesthetics, why not figure out the roof rack first and then back into the rails if they are even needed?

    Satellite Internet Apps - what new apps do you want or need?

    Latency is your enemy. High content sites like Facebook, with frequent updates, would be slow to the point of useless (Facebook itself is useless anyway). Weather sites like Intellicast are a good example of what I would like to see but again, rich content is an issue?

    Portable Base HF Antenna

    I have a 19' camper that serves as our "base" for exploring and HF. Off the rear I built a flat steel shelf to mount a Honda EU2000i generator (welded on locking base) and extra 20+ gallons of fresh water. (We dry camp in the forest) On one side I welded a pipe fitting to be the bottom cup for a...

    After a few years of wanting, I Finally got my Discovery!!!! Meet Suzie

    Some clarity on cooling system. The radiator is old style, not plastic end caps with metal cooling fins/rods. Therefore it can be removed, disassembled, rodded, reassembled/soldered and painted. As a minimum I would pull radiator, have a good shop service it, flush cooling system, replace...

    iPhone 6S reviews are appearing

    Key words - "which notably didn't include China at launch" As most analyst note, flat or slightly down is a "disaster" for Apple. OK, I guess linear extrapolation is still a problem...... I still think global economic trajectory, move away from subsidized model and cheap phones will impact...

    iPhone 6S reviews are appearing

    Some quick trends that looks like the cell phone market is bifurcating. From Is China dumping smartphones on world+dog? - The £600 Android isn’t twice as good as the £300 Android, and you can now pick up excellent deals for £250. - The ASP (Average Selling Price) for smartphones will peak this...

    iPhone 6S reviews are appearing

    But before the cost was hidden in subsidized pre-packaged plans. (cost shifted) Now the cost of phones are more exposed and financed. It will result in consumers thinking a little harder about high-end high-margin phones. Time will tell but analyst are projecting flat to down 4Q sales. Apple is...
