If I had the dough, I'd get one of these. https://www.lithiumion-batteries.com Until then, I'll continue to use the Group 34 AGM batt in a box.

and...what are the fasteners used between the FRP Fibergrate and the factory slots?

I can vouch for the NEC SpectraView PA series, with the "-SV" suffix. I have a pre-LED illuminated one(PA271-BK-SV) from about 2011, and the auto-calibrate thing is very nice indeed. If you don't want/need accurate color, you don't need this. The current one is the PA272-BK-SV, 1440 pixels on...

I have the D800/E, so I don't know if this part of the menu is the same. With your settings, and only "raw" selected under "Image Quality", I got the same result. But when I specified under "Image Quality"(also selectable on the turret) Raw plus Jpeg, I got what you want: raw to the CF and JPEG...

Mr. RIDGE, thanks for the ultra super report, can't wait for more. One question: In post #14, after Alstrom Point, you passed through a series of narrowish canyons/ravines. Was this Croton Road from Alstrom to Left Hand Collet? Just wondering...

Very nice photos. In early October, the NPS employees told us that Berdoo Canyon was impassable except by a rock crawler.

I had FJ 60 Land Cruisers, then a 91 Toyota 4WD truck, and now a 3rd gen 4Runner. The 4Runner is small. It holds less stuff inside than my 91 reg cab 4WD P/U that had a camper shell. The 3.4 V6 in the 3rd gen 4R is not underpowered, it is adequately powered. If you want it to mimic the way you...

Good for you. I've gone out alone many times in the Mojave Desert(closest to home) and Southern Utah.

My Inmarsat Isatphone Pro sends and receives emails already...text only, and using the Inmarsat email address of course...how is this different?

I had the Cover Kings in a previous vehicle, and liked them a lot. Plain twill fabric, totally washable, tough. When they came for my newest vehicle(a 97 4Runner), I was disappointed to find that they now had a PU coating on the underside, which makes them a touch sweaty on hot and/or humid...

Great photos. Another nice place to visit.

spigot added Extra caps are available...don't experiment on the only one you have.

Supposedly, Globalstar is coming back from the dead; new satellites, etc. Remember: at one time in the past, Iridium was crap and went bankrupt. I have the Inmarsat phone only because both the hardware and the service is/was way cheaper than Iridium. It's only for emergencies, so I never...

Every chair I've ever seen, sat in, or seen talked about on the intergoogle, as a camping specific chair has been junk...in some way. Some are made well, but all have severe problems in the area of design for the human body. Like: forcing you to sit in a bizzarre tilted-back posture, or giving...

It never ceases to amaze me how people will lie, lie lie, when it comes to selling a car. Sounds like you didn't overpay for it, and you've got a good handle on what needs to be done.

I got one of those Swiss bladder things from Deutsche Optik. If you think a full 20L Jerry can is somewhat awkward to handle, wait until you try to heave around a formless, drooping 45 pound blob. I prefer the Scepter HDPE water cans...they're tougher that the Reliance things if they get...

I keep them in the Pelican 1600 along with the cheap Coleman propane stove and related stuff. That travels in the car, but could travel on the roof rack also.

I'm a '97 4Runner owner now, previously had a '91 4WD truck, both manual trans. I second the idea of a 5-speed versus the auto. Above 200K miles, an AT is getting ready to take a dump, depending on how the PO treated it. And, ATs can fail with little or no warning. MTs, on the other hand...

Wheel balancing is the first suspect. I live in the big city with lots of tire shops, and roughly half of the balancing jobs I've had done over the last 20 years have been defective.

Not knowledgable on these, just thought that it looked cool.
