    Off road jacks

    Hi lift jacks are a love/hate relationship with me. Sure , they can be the Swiss army knife of off roading but they can also bite you if you aren't paying attention. I've been using a modified H1 Hummer scissor jack for a few years now and prefer it over the hi lift. It's easier to stow away, a...

    Desktop computer: power supply dead?

    So I have this older desktop computer that was built by my neighbor in '07. He did this for a living so it's not like he didn't know what he was doing. My neighbor has since moved away so i cant rely on him for repairs. Anyhow the tower recently died on me so I'm assuming it's the power supply...

    New Tranny/T-case adapter

    There have been very few options for us RBV guys in the past...sure we have the awesome but pricey Atlas II, there's a couple offerings for a dual case set-up. Finally, we have an adapter option from a real off road vendor and not someone doing a side business out of their garage with months...

    Return from Devils Canyon

    It wasn't pretty but I survived the Devil's Canyon run. My truck was like a pinball bouncing off the rocks all day. Dented a bunch of tube and munched up the pass. side door. The rock sliders paid for themselves on this run. Other than my rollover, i've never had as much damage on a run as this...

    Wintertime?

    Well that's what the calendar says. It was 93 today and supposed to top out at 96 tomorrow:eek: then low 90's through the weekend. I know this is the desert but i'd like to enjoy some 70's and 80's during the spring at least before summer hits.

    CB monitor (not external speaker)

    Anyone heard of or used this set-up from Anza Products that lets you hear your CB through your stereo? Price seems a little steep for what it is but the speaker on most CB's leaves something to be desired. Plus you might not have room for an external speaker or it just plain looks ugly and out...

    Went wheelin' today with KOH EMC racer (modified class) DJ. He lives out near me in the Palm Springs area and took me to his secret spot. Best part is it's only 20 min. from me, I've lived out here for 12 years now and never knew about this wheelin' spot. Weather has been perfect out here the...

    SoCal: Big Bear Summer Camp n' Crawl

    After 2 years, i'm itching to wheel my own rig and what better place to go than where I rolled it:p: As much as I like the trail that I rolled on, I'd prefer to run say Gold Mtn. to John Bull and Holcomb Creek in whatever combination is decided. I'm thinking the latter part of this month...

    Google synthesizer

    Google made a web version of the late Robert Moog's analog synthesizer in celebration of his 78th birthday. Even if you've got no musical talent like me it can be a little addicting so don't say I didn't warn ya:p: http://www.google.com/doodles/robert-moogs-78th-birthday

    Work table/storage project

    So i've been wanting a work table in the garage for the longest time and at first I was going to make something out of square tubing, put a top on it and call it good. Luckily, i've been working for a general contractor who mainly does remodels so I was able to score a solid core door which...

    2011 Offroad Expo pics

    Went to the Expo today and got a few shots, I mostly took some of the buggies because the jeeps, side by sides, and sky hi Super Duty's don't interest me much. A few shots from the Expo:

    Rock music...20 years ago

    Hard to believe but it's the 20th anniversary of some of the most notable rock music of our time. The local rock radio station out here has mentioned, and I never thought about it until they did so, that the following albums (or CD's if you prefer) all came out the same year and within 46...

    Playing a movie on a tv from a thumb drive?

    So while I was at Froaders house working we tried to watch a movie I had loaded on a thumb drive. His flat screen LCD has a USB port so we plugged it in and gave it a shot but it could not read it. I had pics on there also which showed up fine. The movie file is .mp4, is it that the tv doesn't...

    Cougatti Veyron?

    Some guy built a replica Bugatti Veyron based on a Mercury Cougar. Body lines are there but it sure could've used a V8 and rear wheel drive IMO. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/man-builds-own-million-dollar-bugatti-supercar-hand-211223675.html
