Badass. Might need to pick this up too. Now your making me put more sh!t in my truck too!

 

Just think.. $33 can save you hours and hundreds of dollars.

Freaking genius design, so simple. Sucks that i didn't think of it first.

 

Guess i should fire up the lappy and get some links on the photog thread.

 

No film, no developing, no printing. Sure it'll still take a few years to equal out the additional cost of a digital body depending on how much you shoot, but... Back when I was growing up on two week family vacations we used to burn around 12 rolls of 36 exposures for a trip on average. That's 432 pictures over two weeks, and it seemed like a lot (especially come developing time). My last two week trip in August here, I shot that in one day. Fortunately the average per day was closer to 50. Most of them on that day were because of variations - portrait/landscape/near/far of the same thing. And multi-shots for panos. I remember getting special one time use panoramic cameras (which I could rant about the concept on and what a rip-off they actually were, but I won't here). If I did a pano in 35mm it was never more than 4 frames. I recall in Bryce taking a couple of 12 shot panos... three times each at different exposure settings. Digital has destroyed the cost of learning photography, or making sure you get what you want without paying out the nose for the attempt.

Yep, ECU flash and the reason I have yet to have that recall performed, and go out of my way to make sure every time I take it in to tell them not to do it.

At least they put an open time. I saw a couple of shops on my last trip, can't recall if they were in Steamboat or Park City (or both), but it was 'We're open until we're closed, and then closed til we're open.' or something to that effect. And it wasn't a gag either, it was literally their hours sign.

 

Damnit... found the FLIR for $1k.

So tempting.

I should've just updated the Photography thread and went to bed. Instead of browsing the gat damn web.

 

And here is something to put on your truck to help the FLIR work better

Also I didn't mean to sneak it away from you! We can share!

 

Ok everyone, I need suggestions on good u joints for the drive shaft, I need to replace mine and don't want garbage... any help is appreciated!

 

ctm u joints

 

No man just gives me a reason to get my own! Unless we go wheeling soon, then I'll take you up on that offer

 

Err what?

 

Look them up

 

GMB from NAPA is supposed to be the OEM distributor. I installed a set 2 years ago.

 

no, you don't want CTM joints, overpriced garbage for a daily driver. You'll spend more time greasing them than driving them.

 

I just wanted to see him die a little when he sees how much they cost.

 

lol, they are possibly the strongest you can buy. Just not really made for long term highway use. I bet they have a few vibes too.

 

Why exactly are you looking into a FLIR cam?

 

So he can drive with no headlights. Into a pole. He wants to be bat man
