I thought you were waiting on the diesel? Cool either way, any plans for an AT Habitat?.. so sweet.

yeah that A/T habitat is cool as hell however I think we are about done sleeping in enclosures with soft sides. For some reason we can't go anywhere without the wind blowing 50 mph. I don't know if God hates me or if it's Global warming or maybe that God hates that I don't believe in global warming but I think we are going to sell the trailer and buy a teardrop.

Re: Building an "Adventure XJ"
You gonna have enough sleeping acreage for the family in a teardrop? Or maybe your considering the prototype shown at Expo?

Perhaps a hardsided offroad popup? I like some of the builds that have been seen lately. I think Stump mentioned he may be going that direction this time around.

I'll be putting my tent on the roof. If the weather is good...no worries. If it's bad, at least we have a shelter out of the weather, even if we are on top of each other.

Re: Building an "Adventure XJ"
Don't know if this has already been discussed, but it would be a cool way to call work and tell them I'll be delayed due to car trouble!

Re: Building an "Adventure XJ"
The Spot COnnect does interest me and I may break down and get one eventually. Until then I get by wiht my old Spot v. 1. It may not have many bells and whistles but it works.

After using mine for a few weeks I have to say the difference is night and day and so so so worth the money.

The acquisition times are almost instantaneous. The message send times are almost instantaneous and as I've said before, the fact that you can type a message out saying "Im here and I need three lug nuts" or "I'm here and I need a lower radiator hose" makes the whole thing worth it.

Neat looking but it looks like a POS with a bunch of stuff bolted to it to make it look dependable. Something about it just strikes me wrong.
