    Goodyear MTR vs Duratrac - Longevity.

    I bought my DT's at the local GY shop - nothing special. As stated above the E rated duratrac has a slight hum on the road but it's no where near annoying. When I bought them I had pretty modest expectations but have been shocked at how well they preform in a variety of traction conditions.

    Goodyear MTR vs Duratrac - Longevity.

    Could be the same ppl. Obviously i have the E rated tire and I find the ride to be very comfortable. No one in there right mind is putting 50 or 80 psi in these tires. I run 38/39 and the ride is very compliant. If I run 42 the ride becomes significantly stiffer.My Land Cruiser is 6000 lbs...

    Goodyear MTR vs Duratrac - Longevity.

    I love all the "I heard this and i heard that". My Duratracs with 3ply sidewalls are doing fine on my very heavy cruiser. Super traction in all road conditions. Great traction off road except the heaviest of mud where of course a true mtr would be better. DT is snow rated. It's really a...

    IPAD2 nav help

    Sure it's all well and good to have the Russian system in addition... maybe we'll see some actual improvement. I'm sure as soon as my current GPS set up fails me I'll be wishing I had it. EDIT - There may be some sarcasm there :)

    Yeah - manufacturers are now inventing "needs and improvements" when in fact the added capability has no real world value. Oh wait they have been doing it for years ;)

    So I want to get a Land Cruiser...

    Economy isnt the forte of a 100 series either... over the last 3800 miles I have averaged 12.65MPG with a mix of city and highway driving, including a couple of road trips. This number is derived by taking the miles driven divided by gallons used including a correction for tire size. I've had...

    Cautionary tale of cloud computing disaster

    This isn't the first time something like this has happend and this time it happens to be Apple related. Many example across all platforms. Complex passwords are great at thwarting brute force but in the end it was social engineering that got it done to Mat. Ask Kevin Mitnick - that was his...

    Why can't I get a Land Cruiser out of my head..?

    I know we all hate it when the next new thing isn't supported by our older hardware but I should point out that shedding legacy is part of what makes Apple, Apple. It's one of the things we like about them when we are buying new equipment and the thing we hate when our old Mac wont run the...

    Apple OS/X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" now available

    I use chrome mostly but there are issues occasionally I fall back to safari. Now that safari has integrated search in the URL it makes it nicer to use. Both browsers are underpinned with Apple's WebKit so they are not that different.

    Really the only choice right now in android is Back Country Navigator (BCN). Look for it and read the description and see if it meets your needs. I have it on my Galaxy II and had it on my Evo and it works well. If you have an iOS device in your life (I use an iPad) there are tons more...
