    75 FJ40 on Phoenix Craigslist

    the vegetation, house style, sloping driveway and street with a square curb are not typical for the Phoenix area (not that it couldn't be but not typical.) But we'll see, just sent an email.

    equipment question

    If you are just starting out I suggest you skip the uber bling pro equipment (unless you are looking to impress people) and look for a decent medium tier point and shoot. The site http://www.dpreview.com/ has reviews of different brands but you can't go wrong with Canon, Sony, Olympus and...

    A strap is a strap...

    While we wouldn't really know what bit would break - bumper, frame, hooks, shackle, strap, etc., it might be useful to be able to dial-in a pre-determined not-to-exceed load and use one of these things: http://www.massload.com/product-Tension_Link_Dynamometer-7-2.html as the sensor to trigger...

    Arctic Trucks 6x6 Hilux

    Hotlinking the pic from the Arctic Truck site? Or the same for the patent. Interesting idea on the patent though, I've wondered how to sink the winch in the rear passenger footwell for COG reasons and have the ability to pull in both directions.

    My HAM Plan

    Take a little extra time (or effort) and study the questions for General and take that test at the same time you take the Tech exam. Use the method of printing the test and blocking out every answer but the right one - just study the right answers. You'll be surprised at what you do on the test.

    Jeeps for sale?

    Mtav, the caption on this pic in your album says "made our own road." Don't do that please. Do you understand that by cutting your own track across a meadow you give ammunition to the people who want to shut down access to places we'd all like to visit some day. If you don't understand...

    Homemade Roofracks.

    gutter mounting options for DIY racks What do people think would be good low-height gutter mount options for a DIY rack. I'd like it to be pretty low to the roof and most of the commercial rack gutter mounts seem fairly tall. The vehicle is a 96 XJ. Here's a list of what I've found so far...
