    Looking for a new radical drawer system for my Discovery 2

    There's a lot going on here. "Aluminum extrusion" is a generic term for any kind of extruded aluminum shape, not just the T-slot system you're referencing here. It comes in most any shape you'd see steel in: Solid square and round stock, tube stock, angle stock, etc....Yes, aluminum extrusion...

    Looking for a new radical drawer system for my Discovery 2

    He wasn't asking about DIY options, ("Wondering if anyone makes affordable custom drawer systems.") and specifically said he had neither the time nor the resources to make his own, and went on to ask Rayra about building something for him. That's what I was addressing. That being said, given...

    Looking for a new radical drawer system for my Discovery 2

    The term "affordable custom drawer systems" is an oxymoron of biblical proportions. Multiply the $17.00 cost of those plastic bins you bought by a factor of 100 and you'll be in the neighborhood of what you'll pay for a "radical" custom drawer system. A local carpenter or cabinetmaker will be...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Ray, this continues to be my favorite Expo thread by a country mile. It's everything I love about the Expo forums in one neat package: practical real world knowledge about make and model speciific mods alongside exotic trip reports in said vehicle. Having picked up an '05 LR3 as a daily driver...

    Yaesu VX-7R programming question.

    Thanks, but as I noted, I need this for tomorrow, so that will not work in this situation.

    Yaesu VX-7R programming question.

    Exactly why I was hoping to get some input here. I don't use this radio often, but have to use it for something tomorrow and this is the setup&#8230; Thanks anyway!

    Yaesu VX-7R programming question.

    Hi all, I need to program my VX-7R with a PL on the Transmit side but CSQ on the Receive side and am not sure if I'm getting it correct. (on 2-meter) Yes, I've RTFM… If anyone has any insight into the specific steps to ensure the proper programming I would greatly appreciate a moment of your...

    Tools to keep in the Disco II

    Aren't the bolts on the front end of the rear propshaft 9/16th or something oddly non-metric like that? I found that out the hard way on the side of the road when my flex-couple bit the dust on 91 in VT when I tried to disconnect it.

    Fridge/Freezer Tips

    Guys, sorry for the cross-post but was hoping those of you that checked in here might see this sooner than later since you're already subscribed to the thread: Just got my new 50 qt ARB. Not surprisingly the manual suggestions a dedicated connection to the battery. Tell me that isn't a...

    ARB Fridge wiring question.

    Just got my new 50 qt ARB. Not surprisingly the manual suggestions a dedicated connection to the battery. Tell me that isn't a "must-do" on a modern vehicle like my '02 Discovery. Yes, I plan on doing that anyway soon enough, but was expecting to use it this weekend via the DII's rear 12v...

    Warn VR Series steel vs. synthetic models: Is the line the only difference?

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the replies. Shoulda just thought of that in the first place. (calling Warn)

    Warn VR Series steel vs. synthetic models: Is the line the only difference?

    Interesting. Thanks. Really helpful. I'm sure they did that for a reason. Doesn't seem like much, but I wonder if thats large enough that I'd have to run a shorter length of synthetic line on my orginally-stell-cabled model, than the 100' that comes standard on the "S" model from the factory...

    Warn VR Series steel vs. synthetic models: Is the line the only difference?

    Bought a Warn VR 10,000 with steel cable. Time to replace the line, want to go to synthetic. The VR 10,000-S comes with 100' of 3/8 line. Can I assume these are no differences between the two models, the line being the only change? Or is there something I'm missing, like, do the different types...

    $40 BaoFeng UV-5R Dual-Band Handhelds

    Full disclosure: I am an idiot. It just occurred to me that the reason I couldn't get into the repeater was because I didn't program the repeater offset. Been so long since I got a new radio, or programmed in a new repeater to my old ones that it just totally didn't occur to me. I programmed it...

    $40 BaoFeng UV-5R Dual-Band Handhelds

    Quick and dirty 30 second review: Got mine last week. Impressed with the quality and the features for the money. Not chintzy cheap feeling at all, but also obviously not the same feel as comparably sized Yaesus and Icoms. May be best sized handheld I've used, right in between my VX-7R and VX-3R...

    Converting Sony MTS video files to MPEG/Mac compatible files?

    Hi all: I have a Sony Handycam (HDR-CX-160) and am just now for the first time looking to use the video I have captured. I found I had to download the proprietary Sony software just to get it off the camera and into the iMac. Now it seems like I have to convert the files into something usable...
