    Kodiak or Springbar in the sand

    I was at Oceano last August with the same Kodiac Tent and had no problems at all with the stock pegs. Even with the large gusts of wind, the tent was stable. The only problem was trying to put down the thin floor saver under the tent before pitching the tent. In preparation for the next time...

    What brand deep cell do I want?

    Same with me. My Vector battery charger is giving me the code for open cell on my 17 mo. old Optima yellow top. Now I'm deciding whether to get another one or see if I can fit a different battery in the same location (an FJ Cruiser, so the space is identical to yours). I know others are...

    Biltong style dried meat

    There was an article today in the LA Times regarding a Beverly Hills Butcher Shop that allegedly has excellent Biltong along with other South African Specialties. http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-jerky7-2009jan07,0,909462.story European Deluxe Sausage Kitchen 9109 Olympic Boulevard...

    tablets

    There are a couple downsides depending on the model you have. I have an Itronix DuoTouch. It is old and slow but it is a rugged tablet pc and works perfectly for what I use it for which is running oziexplorer and keeping my manuals in pdf. The downsides I have found with a tablet are: 1) no...

    NATO/Wedco gasket

    Weird, I checked their website as well and didn't see them, yet, when I was in the store I remember seeing the gaskets hanging next to the spouts. Not sure if I'm getting old and delusional or EE just doesn't have them listed on their site.

    Recipe for homemade beef jerky?

    Check out Alton Brown's recipe from the Food TV show "Good Eats." Instead of using a food dehydrator which actually cooks the meat, he used a large fan and placed the beef jerky on Air conditioning filters. It looked pretty good, although I haven't had a chance to make it yet. Here's the...

    Downloading California Maps/DOQs from Casil

    Thanks, I'll check it out. So far, I've got about 75% of the 24k maps downloaded and should have the rest done this week. I've been looking at the DOQQs on the casil and downloading them seems daunting - over 640gb of data. I plan on downloading them for selected regions and supplement later...

    Downloading California Maps/DOQs from Casil

    Thanks whitethaiger. I've been reading your oziexplorer posts religiously. Do you have a suggestion for a program to automate the download from an ftp client?

    Downloading California Maps/DOQs from Casil

    Thanks. I've installed firefox and download them all at home and it makes short work of the small files like the .aux and .tfw files. For the large tif files it didn't work very well. Currently I'm downloading the tif files at work because of the fast connection and I can't use firefox at...

    Downloading California Maps/DOQs from Casil

    I just started running Oziexplorer and have downloaded the 250k and 100k topos for CA at http://archive.casil.ucdavis.edu/casil/maps/drg/7.5_minute_series_albers_nad83_mosaic/tiff/. I've now started downloading the 24k topos and DOQQs; however, its taking forever, not the download speed, but...

    Looks great. Can't wait for the CA maps so I can try it out on my tabletpc. I like the ability to make use of the touchscreen feature on the tabletpc.

    Looking into 2003 Discovery

    Look at a 2004 instead. I have a 2003 and as others have mentioned, no CDL. Not only no linkage (older DIIs have the nib on the transfer case, but no linkage) but no nib on the transfer case. If, at some point you want to get CDL, you will then need to replace the transfer case with a 2004 or...
