Stumbled on to this article and rig and thought there might be some interest/inspiration here. I don't have any more info than I link to below but if you find some updates please post.

I know it Oregon SAR is run by the Sheriff's office in each County. For example Marin County has a site http://marinsar.org/Links/links.htm

I wonder what the winch product line cycle is because Warn has a new series out as well.

I run a M8000 with stock cable on a custom hitch mount plate. The unit is heavy but you are going to be working a lot harder to get yourself unstuck without it.

My system is completely portable....

Thought there might be some interest in this article. Unfortunately it lacks good detail of why they are banned. There are some other interesting cars and potential expedition vehicles as well.

The newest one was discussed in another post.
Its aimed at Fire Fighters but would be great for 4x4s

We went shooting last weekend and 'The Judge' was the second handgun I ever fired. The first was a 9mm and after that I tried a 40 cal S&W, 40 cal Glock and a 45.

The Judge I shot had a slightly...

Like any vehicle they have pro's and con's but I would say go for the WJ over the ZJ. I have a 2003 WJ with the 4.0l Our most notable trip was from Oregon to the 4 corners area and back including...

My MJ is not very polished but it works great for the overgrown forest roads and dunes of Oregon.

The math is not that bad but if you need to convert the units that your lat long are in try this.

It is not the most elegant but you can do some nice 3D work in Google Sketchup.

Can we see a shot of the bumper with the hoops and lights on it? Also what make and model breaker/relay did you use for the dual battery?

vdeal that is an interesting link. I have a nuvi 660 that should have the SiRFstarIII and the 60CSx and it is night and day difference in startup and locate times. The 60 CSx gets a signal and...

60CSx is faster and more accurate but you may never notice?

I run a box in my short bed MJ. Things I like: sits down in the bed not on the rails maximizing usable space (10 cubic feet), the chamfer on the bottom is key to it fitting between the wheel well and...

I did this comparison myself when looking for a new SAR GPS. Everything I read indicated that the 60 series is more accurate and faster than the Oregon. If you are off trail I would go with the 60 if...

Forget all the gadgets. All you need to do is find an outlet/wire that only gets power when the vehicle is on. Connect the battery to it. When the ignition is on it charges the battery. When the...

They make various racks like this one that allow you to tongue mount the rack and still tow.

The roll up door is brilliant. Does it allow you to close off the area when the poptop is down, preventing items stored up there from falling? Access to the roof also has to be a great advantage when...

I have this at home for a laptop I have in my entertainment center. It works fine. From time to time it will act odd but its more likely due to the old laptop. its like the iPhone or any other non...

I think this build is great. The concept and execution are amazing. The only thing that could make it better is if you could use the FlipPac without it being attached to the truck.

Its always nice to score some free stuff but be careful if the stuff is not his but belongs to a "renter". Just because the landlord wants it gone doesn't mean the owner won't come after you with a...

Many of us run one of the many Zodi showers. I have the Hot Tap and have hooked it up to run off the car battery instead of the D cell batteries....

I have 2003 WJ with the 4.0. Reading things like this always make me nervous. We are past 105k with original radiator and rotors. I have had on the White Rim trail and a few other more difficult...

My first thought was that the vinyl would prevent the antenna from using the roof as a ground plane. Have any of you that are using this vinyl had any loss in your tuning numbers due to the vinyl?
