I apologize in advance for the quality of some of the sound--it was windier than I thought (note I had to change hats!), and for some reason my GoPro was picking up a vibrating noise.

Only major downfall of the Kindles are that they lack GPS. Other than that they are sweet devices.

Hi Mark, thanks! we had great fun, to get over this ditch, Brady took the chainsaw, cut a dead tree down in 10 pieces and covered the ditch. Great fun to build a small bridge and try to get over it, still not easy as the hill was rather steep 
Next big trip will be the Borneo Extreme Expedition 2012, going to be a great challenge as it is around mount Kinabalu the highest mountain on Borneo, cannot wait

I built a drawer unit for my JKU. It's all 3/4" maple plywood. I added rubber matting and 6 tie-down points on the top to fasten more gear on top of it. It's around 34"W x 28"D x 7"H. One drawer currently holds recovery straps, shackles and pulley. The other drawer has tools and small gear, parts and various small fluids containers.
