    A lot of crap and too much money spent
    It will be interesting to see how it turns out. The question I have is after you add all this weight in the bed or towing what is the distance that can be covered? Wondering if it drops from 400 to 40. I hope that the performance is there, would be a good thing to stop burning so many dinosaurs. My truck already goes through to many t-rex as it is.

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    Dislike (that you had to undergo such a shitty experience, missed out on BF, and have significant medical Bill's. Happy you're still kicking)

    I hear alcohols a good blood thinner. Maybe thatll help :fingerscrossed:

    Wow. Glad you caught it before it became deadly.

    Good luck with the recovery!

    Damn lucky but stents are frigging amazing. Lots can be done with a tiny hole instead of cracking the chest. Quicker recovery too.

    Glad you’re doing better & heal up quick!

    Not bad, some real innovation right there.

    But remote rescues for the #overland crowd are going to skyrocket.

    First mod: Honda generator plus fuel tank.

    I had an older one without wifi and a newer 70mai with wifi. Wifi makes it easier to check the camera angle and pull footage off of the device (my old one had a screen, the current one does not) BUT taking out the SD card and pulling the video files on my laptop isn't that difficult. If its not that much more expensive, get the wifi one. if its a substantial amount, id skip the wifi.

    mine has wifi which lets you view recording loops on the spot from your phone. otherwise you need to pull the card and download the files....I did the wifi just because i can pull the footage on the spot if i got into an accident and wanted to show the officer or email the file etc.

    This is the one I was thinking of getting. It has a screen so I would be able to view footage right on the cam.

    Also concerned it would be a little big. I want to hardwire it in if i do get it.

    @rob1208 @little squirt thanks for the info!!!

    I have a Kenwood dashcam that pairs with my kenwood stereo. No wifi. I control all of the settings/video/playback through the head unit. Makes it nice. If I want to pull video off the micro SD pops right in on the side of the camera.

    Just because we where starting to pull a up hill, doesn't mean I was going to be slowing down.
    Should give yourself a little more room before cutting back in front of me.
    Yes that's a TW sticker on the window.
