In case you're curious... When I first plugged the unit in (12v) it started @ 68 degrees. It took 50 minutes to reach 40 degrees. (keep in mind, this was with the fridge completely empty. It would be much faster fully stocked) I then moved it inside, and plugged it in to 115v: At 40 degrees, I...

I jumped on the $329 scratch and dent deal that Friday night. Figured I'd take a chance...the anticipation was killing me. I live in the same city as Compact Appliance, not sure why I decided to wait on shipping (maybe because it was free shipping and I'm lazy?). Showed up today, very well...

I'll admit, i really like that price tag more :sombrero: It's a little tempting to mount 2 BFG's and 2 Treadwright's for my PanAm trip...just for experimental purposes. I'm not one to recommend a product because of free handouts, but if the Treadwright's proved worthy (and an honest gear...

I'd probably rotate them in for even wear & comparison...of course when using them, they'd be both front or both rear tires. Heck, may as well just go with 4 Treadwrights and 2 spare BFG A/T's...

Oh boy...the options just don't get any easier do they? haha For every person who's suggested the Lenovo's, there's been another who's suggested a Mac. We've kinda counted them out of the equation because of price and our resistance to the evil Apple apocalypse...unfortunately, it's hard to...

Yeah, I've been leaning towards BFG A/T's for a while, but paying half their price is very appealing. I'm almost considering going with 4 BFG's mounted, with 2 spare treadwrights. I could always justify it as "going green"? :coffeedrink:

I keep hearing good things about Lenovo from som tech guys I know...The girlfriend and I played around on the Lenovo site for a few hours and we're both impressed. I really like how their website makes the shopping process simpler by recommending options based on your needs and desires. I think...

Does your vehicle not fit into a container? May sound extreme, but if you're that worried you could always padlock the doors, tailgate, and hood like Ramblewriter did: http://ramblewriter.com/ramblings/?p=181 http://ramblewriter.com/ramblings/?p=351 The only way in would be the windows, and...

For everyone running the AT's, how loud are they? Just curious if you're happy with them...this is a smoking deal compared to what I've been shopping for. UPDATE: I ended up getting a set of Treadwright 245/75/16 Warden ATs and drove on them for 38,488 miles. Did not find them loud at all...

Ditto :jumping: Keep us informed on travel conditions!

That ballistic armor could come in handy if we run into any cartel on our trip:sombrero: These are all great recommendations, thanks to everyone! I have between now and Thanksgiving to decide what I'm gonna go with...decisions, decisions...

When we camp with the dogs, I usually have a few hundred feet of cheap rope that I use to make a "dog run". Just tie one end thru a wheel, and the other end to a tree or ground stake and make sure it's tight enough so it's a straight shot, but loose enough that it's not a trip hazard. Then I...

I've had several of these over the years. I've always put teflon tape on all the threads to keep everything leak free. Be careful when tightening the spigot on the cap...my last trip to Big Bend, I sheared the tap piece from the threads. When I went in to Terlingua to get fuel, I picked up some...

I have noticed that every computer I've owned is loaded up with unnecessary junk pre-loaded on them. How would I go about finding a "business grade" laptop? Would I just ask for that option at Best Buy or what?

Sorry, my first post was misleading. I meant to say I like how small notebooks are but I DO NOT want one. Good advice though. After loading up the Lenovo with the options that seemed important, it'd be about $2G...I think we'll pass. After messing with the options on that HP tm2t tablet we're...

We are tired of our old & tired laptop and have decided to invest in one more suited for our needs. I'm not very tech savy (neither is she) so here is what we want in a laptop: *Entertainment: We don't have cable (greatest decision ever) but every once in a while we'll catch the Office or...

This thread really got me wishing Flip-Pac had an option that fit a 1st gen 4runner so I sent an email a while back to inquire...Totally forgot about it, then this showed up in my inbox today: "Hi, my name is Diane. im the flip-pac sales representative. I'd be glad to help you if you give me a...

if you clicked on the link, there's several women's healthcare books including Where Women Have No Doctor, also a free download on their site :sombrero: http://www.hesperian.org/publications_download.php It's great that you can find most texts in digital form these days. I love the fact that I...

This guy makes one for a 1st gen, based out of GA... $670 http://www.kenmtn.com/html/multi-carrier.html Personally, I'd rather have a swing away on each side to split up the weight and require less clearance behind the truck to get in. Plus you can easily make a fold-down panel on each side to...

See "WHERE THERE IS NO DOCTOR" and "WHERE THERE IS NO DENTIST"...download them for free here: http://www.hesperian.org/publications_download.php Keep in mind, these resources are for 3rd world countries, small villages where there is no healthcare available. Ideal for overlanding in remote...
