After hearing about your run on the sand course, you know how to "get-em'-up" in and FZJ80. You know your vehicle Scott and run it well. It was good to meet you this weekend, I wish you could have stayed O/N. :hehe: Ross

For this app w/ a Garmin receiver stick with the Keyspan and do not use the Belkin. I have had a lots of problems with the Belkin. Keyspan has always worked like a charm. Ross

Thanks for the inverter clarification, I was using output volts not input, doh! I will revise by load, again. Ross

Thanks GT & MB I am trying to set this up for easy changes as things arise. The only reason I don't want to run the CB/radios off the battery is to minimize the number of wires running around the engine compartment. I'll do it if necessary, but would like to avoid it. I have added up my...

I am needing abit of input on this. Background: I don't have a 2nd battery yet, but it is something for the near future. In the mean time, the only outlet (cig lighter) is not enough. I don't need alot right now, but it would be nice to wire it with enough flexibility for future needs...

I offer to add some of my recipes for the chapter on easy clean-up/quick meals. Here is the first: 1. find can opener, screw driver or sharp rock. 2. find the least revolting canned good from food storage container in the back of the truck. 3. open up the can and dig in 4. lick spoon clean 5...

I can't give you any real info on the T-case reliability. As to finding an LC, patience is the word of the day. If you are convinced that you need e-lockers, take a double dose of patience as I think I saw on ih8mud they represent less than 10% of the LC's sold in NA. I personally would stay...

A slight hijak: I am really ignorant about radio communications. I understand the basic physics of AM/FM, etc. but nothing about the practical/equipment side. I have frequently used CB radios for caravan communications. They tended to be low end and finicky. I am interested these 2M/HAM...

I'm headed up, but don't know what time and I have some Phoenix errands to run as well. I am going to try to make it to the camp before 13:00 for some hiking and such with the fam. Ross

I will second a vote for the Black Diamond Night Ray. I used one this summer in Tibet, running it about 1-3 hours a day (mostly on low). I changed the batteries 3 times over 6 weeks. Ross

great pics dmc, I sure love Utah. The Colorado Plateau is one of my most favorite places, scenic, great geology with lots of outstanding problems and a great climate. Too many plants cover up the rocks :jump:. I'm packing right now to fly up to SLC and then on to Moab for a few days. Ross

You guys aren't going to be too impressed, but when I'm working I am pretty happy with a can of soup or chili out of the can; quicker clean up :jump: and a couple of beers or a good scotch. I have to get more creative when with the family. Hotdogs cooked over a fire are always a big hit with...

I am headed to SLC/Moab tomorrow for a short course on salt tectonics. Should be fun, Deadhorse, Upheaval Dome, Castle Valley, Onion Creek and Salt Valley. Some modest hikes, no camping and no 4 wheeling to speak of unless we go up/down the Schaeffer (sp?) Trail in 15 passenger vans. Did it...

Hey Alvin, I think it is one of those yucca/agave shoots. What do I win? Ross

If I'm not mistaken that is Bryce. Great place, wish I had spent more time there. Ross

Due to me not using the same vehicle for everything (I sometimes have to take out a motor pool 4WD), I am leaning toward a more modular approach. The other thing is that I carry the spare inside and until I can come up with way to store it verticle or the money for a rear bumper, I have alot of...

I made it Alvin, cool site. I'm thinking that all the different platforms represented on this site will help lead to more 'out-of-the-box' thinking. Less lemming behavior. Ross

If the 80 does have a draw back it is its weight. I don't know what the GVW of a Taco extcab/double is, but the 80 is ~6000 IIRC. This summer I was in a FJ60 that got stuck in a mud pit, partly due to its weight. One of my coworkers didn't want to go with LC's because of this, until he had...
