1) Why is the image title text (the alternate text when the cursor hovers over the image) for the images in Cyrillic as well as English? Makes me really suspicious as to the origins and link safety, and is weird in contrast to the statement that it's US built. 2) The firearm or paintball gun or...

And I loved the IH Travelall that came out in 1953. My university's geology department had a number of these, I got to drive one on some field trips, and that hooked me on the format 😱:love:

I've had to replace the WW tank a couple of times. Both times a crack along the seam.

That's prolly as good a location as any. As far as I can tell, the camera itself is well sealed. My main concern is that the lens is plastic, so the inevitable cleaning off of dust and mud can scratch, haze, or otherwise mar the lens. Being inside the vehicle, behind the rear window glass...

The rear camera is temporarily taped to the outside center of the rear door, just above the license plate. I could stick it to the inside of the rear window, just inside and at the top of the rear windshield wiper sweep. Before I do a permanent install, I'll take it off road a bit and see how...

I don't know what was causing the touchscreen dysfunction. Last night and today it appears to be working fine. The microSD card fills quickly. It came with a Wolfbox-branded 128 MB V10 card that has the same color scheme and lettering as a Sandisk Extreme PRO. I have maybe 30 min of video on it...

Here's a clip from the rear cam of the G900 Pro taken last night. I don't think it's any worse than the naked eye using the rear view. To someone's point, if the unit is off, it does act as a really really low-reflectivity mirror at night. Like using the "dim" lever on a standard rearview...

Using the elastic straps over the OEM mirror, the Wolfbox G900 Pro sits offset toward the driver's side ('cause of the forward-looking camera bulging out). The driver's side sun visor can swing through most of its service arc from the stow position toward the windshield, but is stopped by the...

ehh, at Tim Horton's, nearly anything can happen.

It's been over a year now since I installed the 100 Ah LiFePo4 battery under the hood of the Tahoe. Here's an update. 1) The battery is still plugging along. It's now seen more than a single Phoenix summer, and especially this past month or two where the daily high temp has remained about 100 F...

Yeah, it's literally a Flexfuel-labeled truck. However, I don't know that I've ever seen or used Flex fuel. I think that's mostly a midwest thing. Here in the west (Except for NM, I've not been east of I25 in the truck's lifetime) it just doesn't seem visible. However, all the fuels that I do...

Not a Bronco, but my 4wd 2009 LT 5.3 L Flex has run 254k miles now with always the cheapest gas at the pump. (The fuel varies from 85-86-87, I suspect all with corn squeezins.) Oil changes every 4-5k miles. Spark plugs finally changed at around 200k miles. Fuel economy averages 14+ mpg, with...

The GPS constellation (of all nations) are individual satellites that have very precise clocks onboard and very accurately known self-position. The continuously transmit that information to any and to all. They are like way more sophisticated old-school lighthouses. (The lighthouse didn't know...

I have always wondered about the additional liability from external gas cans! Anyone have hard data or even anecdotal observation on that? Cheers - Jon

That is astoundingly nice. Did you 3D CAD it up or just painstakingly measure thrice and cut once? :clap: Reminds me of the good ol' days of my 4wd Suburban and its 42 gal tank. Easy peasy drive from LA to Flagstaff (500 mi) without a stop! Thanks for sharing - Jon

Wow - what a nice trip (at least the part from West Texas onward :)) The Chisos range is pretty phenomenal, given its exceedingly remote location, and height above the surrounding country. Did you get to the Window? That's a trail that leads to an incredible pouroff over on the west side of the...

I'm fascinated by those that throw a piece of trucker's rope in line. Wouldn't want to be around that. I use a "fairly" cheap corded 12-volt electric bottle jack that happens to have a built-in air pump. I have nursed my truck out of all sorts of sticky spots in its 253 k miles. The reach is...

It's be hilarious if it wasn't so completely negligent. Yeah, I'd be concerned that other things may have been tweaked given the engine was twisting about in the engine compartment. Thorough inspection of even passive components that might have been "impacted" by the wobbly engine. Cheers - Jon

Really well done! And you didn't use cardboard! :crackup:
