Finished rear seat platform and door protectors for dogs, built from plastic/wood composite. It's fairly easy to remove in a few minutes. I also have moving blankets to toss in for padding (not shown.)

Forest? Is that where lots of trees grow? 90% of the places around 'Vegas are half dead creosote bushes. ..Sorry, I'm just being a smart ass now (LOL)

Good stuff - I'll look into some of these more. I'm always on the hunt for sources of good data. One goal with this, also, is to eliminate the need for commercial software or services. ERSI stuff is great, but also expensive. QGIS is free, exceptionally powerfull, and I know it inside and...

I played with it a little, but it looks more or less the same as OnX. It looks handy if you have cell service, but unless I grab huge areas to download for offline use, it's limited for what I want it to do. What I'm after is to have everything I want available as soon as I boot without...

Here's a rundown of the GIS data for the project: I'm located in Clark County, Nevada, so I've assembled information for the surrounding counties. If I plan to go outside of this, I'll need to assemble more: Focusing on Clark County, here's USGS topo. These are 20-meter contours, with color...

This is a work in progress. I'll make updates as I go. The hardware part should be easy to follow. GIS stuff requires some fundamental knowledge that's too much to explain in detail here. I really hate cell phone apps, and the need to have internet access really hinders what's available...

Installed an ARB single compressor with 813's firewall mount. I couldn't be happier with the mount. It's very high quality and easy to install. I spent some time re-working ARB's harness for the compressor to simplify and shorten the wires. It's doubtfull I'll ever get air lockers, so I just...

With a manual, I haven't found the ESS irritating at all, since the engine always runs if the clutch is depressed. If I know it'll be a long light, I go ahead and shift to neutral and let out the clutch. The engine will stop. When I know the light is about to turn green, push in the clutch...

Just geeking out on what can be done with free GIS data, in free QGIS. Here's some progress on compiling complete offline map data for my area. Roads and trails are from open source Open Street Map (OSM), and topo (10 meter contours) are from USGS. I'm 99% sure OnX and other apps are using...

I did the free trial for OnX and cancelled before they charged my card. The app kept overheating my phone, (it was well ventalated on a 50-degree day). Many smaller trails weren't there, and offline "high resoulution" aerial was too low-res to be usefull. Right now, I'm trying to "roll my...

HI All My new '22 Mojave, manual transmission, and my first Jeep. I don't have any plans for crazy mods, but do intend to do a lot of desert exploring in southern Nevada and surrounding areas. My wife and I did a lot of off roading 15-20 years ago, and we're looking forward to getting back...
