i never really payed attention to how long tires last before. however, i got a new set yesterday and the tire shop told me what i'd gotten out of the old ones. i thought it would be interesting to see how our different vehicles and tire types compare. so if you know how many miles you got from...

new tires today, stuck with KM2's in 35". i got 53k miles out of this set doing a full 5 tire rotation. the new deep tread helps the looks of the old girl!

thanks! you can absolutely keep it simple and still have 95% of what i've done. there's a lot of complexity in my approach simply because i was particular about certain things, and sometimes there were things i thought would be simpler a certain way but would be more complex for the average...

thanks everyone! had to replace the alternator this week: http://offroadpassport.com/forum/showthread.php?p=29096#post29096 but got to do a fun night run last night... time to change the diff fluid today, getting ready for the UT trip (comb ridge area).

yesterday - alternator today - night run tomorrow - diff fluid

suprised i never saw that, it is very clean! i have heard of his cup holder thingies, those are neat too but not my style exactly. this is the cleanest removable tablet carputer i've ever seen, it's a nexus 7... build thread is on mp3car somewhere i think:

released a newer version of my steering wheel button interface app for Android. mostly minor fixes, code cleanup, improved documentation, etc. source code here: https://github.com/theksmith/Steering-Wheel-Interface

i had a half done pc based carputer in before, with 8" touchscreen. this tablet one went so much faster and just easier. a ton can be done with them without going to near the level of effort that i have on this project. i've just done a lot of extra stuff to get things exactly how i wanted them...

fixed an issue with the carputer/tablet install, happy everything seems solid now with that: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/94391-XOOM-tablet-based-carputer-project-(work-in-progress)?p=1430069#post1430069

thanks, it's been fun to tinker with. kinda bored that it's all just working now! still find myself wanting to mess with it but there's nothing left to do with the core of the project. when i have some spare money i'm going to attempt to integrate multiple cameras. i know it can be done, but...

hardware issue was "in the middle" ;) i don't actually know for sure exactly why it was happening, but i have a fuzzy picture of the problem... quick background - when i setup everything, i used a powered USB hub and configured things so it was only powered when the Jeep was on. my only USB...

every since i got this project up and running, i've had a random bug where the steering wheel control app stopped working. i spent a bunch of time this weekend flashing different roms, swapping kernels, and even refactored my app to use the newest usb-to-serial driver... in the end it turned out...

thanks guys!
