Cool new pro level micro cameras with lots of functionality built in. Built for drone users and action shooters. ExPo approved since they show it attached to a Land Rover!

Just as an FYi to anyone that is starting a new M416 build or thinking of renovating an existing one. I am offering brackets that provide a clean location to mount hinges and latches to the tub. Check it out...
In my M416 build I needed a way to secure my hinges to the side of my trailer. I designed my lid to fit inside the tub, and thus didn't modify the existing rail on the top of the tub. Since it is rounded, I designed a bracket that allowed me to mount my hinges and latches. I've decided to...
Decided to make a post in similar fashion to the "What did you use your winch for today" thread. The Hi-Lift has it's ups and down (pun intended), so what have you used it for?
Today I pulled some tree stakes out in the yard.
I took the family to central Wisconsin to visit with my extended family and ended up getting invited to go on a quick canoeing trip with my uncle. By quick I mean a couple hours. I had never even set foot in a canoe before today. I had tolled around in a flat bottom row boat once in high school...
Prologue
It is late 2012, a co-worker and I are discussing our next day trip to the deserts around Tucson, Az. After a few minutes he brings up a trail that would take planning, time, and desire to complete; El Camino Del Diablo. After a brief description of the trail we decide this trip...
Set of rubi 18/60 springs and rubi shocks. Taken off at 5k miles. These will add 1.5" to a 2dr sport I hear.
Local pickup in NW Tucson, pm for more info. $100 for all.
Would there be interest in a fabricated steel swivel to replace the cast swivels on the M416 trailer? It's part of the landing leg assembly and I recently broke mine, the casting snapped where the leg bolts on.
I'm pretty sure I can replicate the swivel geometry in steel, not sure how just...
I was converted to HAM by the clarity, performance, and finally the availability of the $30 Baofeng UV5R H/T. These are very versatile radios and handy to have a few around. I needed a way to securely keep the radio in place while out and about. I drew up and had these holsters cut because...
Spent the afternoon making a proof of concept for mounting accessories such as GPS, phone, Radio head, etc...
It's a 1" bar running across the dash of my jeep. I made steel standoffs that thread onto existing studs under the top of the dash.
I also modified some 1" rifle scope mounts I had...
January 1st, 2014 was a pretty good day.
The plan was simple, enjoy the mid 70 degree weather we've been having and make a run to Chiva Falls to the east of Tucson. I was excited to get out for a few reasons. First of all, this was the first real trail I took my new Rubicon on as a stock...
I need to acquire a fridge for an upcoming trip at the end of February. I figured I'd see if there we're any used ones out there first. I'm in Tucson and due to family have difficulty getting out of town. If anyone nearby has the subject item for sale, send me a PM. Cosmetic condition is...
Just got back from a full 13 hour turn and burn run to El Paso to pick up my M416 trailer from fellow ExPo member Area52. It's in really good shape and will be used as is until my El Camino Del Diablo trip is complete in March. After the trip it will be torn down and completely re-finished...
I'm officially expanding my search to include M416 trailers in good original shape. I want to restore one, but would like an original in usable condition to start. Must have the original Lunette/ landing leg. Will consider minor modifications such as tailgate or lid if done well (no hack...
