    Bottom line if the kids are in a public place they can be photographed without consent. There is no expectation of privacy. If the photog was on public property shooting images of what was visible then If these folks are doing something in a commercial manner they might very well of needed a...

    From a van to a Cruiser. A (semi) quick inquiry.

    Stay Away from rust. That's a killer. if you plan to do a ton of road miles to get to the offroad parts of life the 100 is far more comfortable and motor has more tug. Look for your best deals at 1998-2000 model years. An 80 will bring a lot of bang for the buck for your 12-13 price as you are...

    Boring Hams Talking About The Weather

    Perhaps we wouldn't. I also require other safety equipment like a well running 4x4 and a good attitude.

    Boring Hams Talking About The Weather

    I'll step into this... Where to start? It's funny to me that we would spend hours fretting and stewing over the most mundane mods for our vehicles making sure things are just right. When it comes to Comms a lot of folks don't want to spend 10 minutes to take the very easy test and two hours...

    Best way to install LED ribbon lights inside truck

    3m Exterior mounting tape - 5lb. is much better than foam tape for automotive. I use it all over the place including the 20" LED mounted to my back hatch.

    $40 BaoFeng UV-5R Dual-Band Handhelds

    Firstly I'm not a HAM radio snob. I require them on my trips but I'm not a hardcore HAM enthusiast. I dont spend time trolling the repeaters talking about antenna calibration or weather in far off places. On a few occasions I have recommended the Baofeng radios but, sadly 2 of the 3 UV5-R...

    What Is The Best Topo Map App For iPad

    All of DV in a topo or motion X terrain will be around 1GB of storage. Use 10 to 15 zoom range. This gets you everything you need. So moving waypoints and tracks back in forth in itunes is not problem... Maps ugh. You can back up map files to itunes but you cannot manage them like tracks and...
