Cheaper than the little UMA (but not Walmart cheap) is the long-serving VDO OAT gauge. At 2 1/16 in (52 mm) face diameter it needs a little more real estate, but it's a good gauge from well-respected manufacturer...

Wow -- that looks nice! Pix inside, too, when you get a chance.

I have that UMA OAT (outside air temperature) gauge from Chief Aircraft. I got it a few years ago for a project on my Tacoma that's apparently taking the slow boat. It wasn't quite as much $$$ back then but was never cheap. Doesn't have a backlight either, just to be clear. It's beautifully...

That's a very good image, Trevor -- I wouldn't have guessed an iPhone coulda taken it. But then, I'm on the crappy side of iPhone photographers from everything I've seen. As of a couple of weeks ago I have two of 'em (my personal and business phones are both 5S), and I can run some...

A number of Land Rover publications have written about the Cameron Highlands over the years. Cool story, isn't it?

I've not run across that information. I'm sure it's there someplace, but not obvious to find. Not the first time this discussion has come up in a forum. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/toyota-truck-4runner/243714-tacoma-frame-layout-pic.html

Yeah, I'll accept that user effects are important in general, Trevor. But in my case I halfway know my way around a camera and my colleagues are absolutely not photographers. I take pretty good care with my shots and I'm still very lukewarm on iPhone photo quality. Here's one I took with my...

Trevor and others -- have you found that iPhone cameras -- from the same iPhone model -- give different image qualities? A buddy who's a serious iUser and Canon photographer has felt tiny manufacturing variations in iPhones give different quality results. He's reported that the Genius Bar...

Same here. Got the idea originally from the reflective triangle stickers on the doors of a girlfriend's mid-80s Volvo, first put them on my 1985 Saab, and something similar has been added to every vehicle since. Here's what the ones that inspired me look like...

Utah 24 heading into Capitol Reef NP just ahead of a thunderstorm on September 5. The light was changing so fast this shot had to be taken out of the window of my 2001 Tacoma DC 4WD TRD as I was driving...

The original Apache Eagles used the clamshell top as off-the-ground storage for luggage, gear, etc. There were bent wire hooks that supported the middle of the clamshell to the underside of the bed. It meant the clamshell's needed to open a full 180°, which isn't possible on some of the...

I put my 4S with iOS 5.1.1 through the washing machine a couple of weeks ago. Dessicating it and having some pro's look at it did nuthin' -- it's bricked. Grrr. I miss Google Maps as the native app. Now I have two iPhone 5S's -- one for work and one for me. Man, I miss that earlier iOS, and...

I've stopped in at Safari Ltd. several times over the last few years to have minor and major work done on my Tacoma by Hugh and his crew. They're terrifically accommodating and have become an almost-planned stop on trips to GJ and points west.

Do any modern power window switches fit in that JIS standard cutout? The ones on my Tacoma or Lexus don't, but there may be one in some maker's parts catalog. The idea here is that for the last fifteen years or so window switches have been required to be "pull to actuate" because there are...

I well remember these by the thousands as we camped throughout the US as a kid in the 1960s and early 1970s... Not something I'd want to own, but it's nice to see they're appreciated. http://rvdailyreport.com/products/shasta-to-reissue-an-updated-1961-airflyte/

Me too, Christophe. They just work. In fact, although I'm not using them right now, I have a set of those SPD-platform combination pedals in bright red alloy -- kind of bulky, but another great commuter pedal.

My 2001 Tacoma DC 4WD TRD with OME and BFG AT 235/85-16. I've been running them for 18 months and I'm absolutely delighted with this combination on the truck.

The search function on ExPo isn't always the best, IMO. Try this one and see if any of these jog your memory...

Probably a fog pattern... Driving lamps typically have a lens without fluting. Thanks doe the info and good luck with the sale -- this collection should make someone a good deal. I'll probably stick with my original Hella 4000 Compact (metal housing) plan...

I originally put a pair of eBay Chinese replacements on my 2001 Tacoma, but took them off 'cause I could not aim them to eliminate hot and cold spots. Went with OEM and was shocked at how much better they are -- flat, even illumination on low beam and no particular need for auxiliary lighting...
