They look fine.

For some ideas, see the one I use in my Lexus RX350 in post #4 here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/61461-80-cargo-barriers

Use SuperClean -- the purple stuff -- it's a serious cleaner. Careful on painted or some plated surfaces.

Ah... My mistake. I read your post wrong. The concept of a lightweight composite cylinder is a fine idea, and, as you note, if made by a reputable company they're good products.

Neat. I expected to see one of the corrugated origami "H" vans. The one on CL -- and especially its awning -- is a monster! I don't think I've seen anything quite like it. This: And not the one I expected...

That's good to hear. But remember, safety is not measured by the number of incidents, but by the exposure to risk. There's a reason the excrement hit the ventilator on this one. If you have the time and/or interest, read the details about the company's quality programs and test results!

...including Gen 1 3.4L V6 (a 2001 DC, especially!)

I bought my 2001 DC 4WD TRD in February 2009 with 66k miles on it for $14K. Good money, but it was -- and is -- a very nice truck. It now has about 103k miles. So at about 8500 miles/year, it will be almost 12 years before the mileage equals that on the one you're considering. That's a long...

As the clock turned from June 21 to 22, Midsummer, and the longest day of the year, I had the chance to be standing on the Arctic Circle in Finland watching the midnight sun in one sky and the full supermoon in the other. Very cool. The trip to the Arctic Circle has been on my list for almost...

Interesting that the original recall order HERE directs owners to return the cylinders to the company. It does not direct this to be done prepaid -- that was added by Lite Cylinder. The original order is silent on who's responsible for paying. Reading the details in the background section of...

That's a UK number plate, and it has GB stickers on the ARB bumper. Long way from home. It was right hand steer, yes?

+1 on Garage Journal Forum -- it's a great forum, and this is exactly the kind of thing you'll get help on from the guys there. Don

That configuration used to be pretty common on British sportscars in the days when my 1962 Triumph TR3 was built. At the time it was probably a combination of needing help with the lighting both near and far and the limited output of the old Lucas generators. How did you guys switch the...

It seems you have to have a leak in the system to smell coolant. Is the overflow/expansion bottle level going up and down as expected? I once had a small leak in an overflow bottle hose which fooled around with return siphoning flow back through the rad cap. It would overflow OK, but not flow...

I haven't tried water wetters myself, but I have first-hand reports from folks I trust that have seen 5-10 F° temperature drops. It's on my list of things to experiment with one of these days. I'm not completely convinced of the mechanism. Seems to have more to do with reducing cavitation...

We've talked about this a lot on the vintage Triumphs list and the TR Register forum... An important thing to remember is that although these ethylene and/or propylene glycol-based coolants have significantly higher boiling point than water or water-glycol blends, it comes at a price of lower...

Very cool. ...and only a hundred miles from here.

But with this $11,800 lens at least the shipping is free.

Denny, you've got a winner there. Very nice. Congrats to all involved. This is one to aspire to. Makes me start to think whether or not my Tacoma really needs the bed it came with... Don

This is the waxed cotton one, yes? Haven't seen one of those in ten years or so. The one I had was a gift directly from ARB. I agree with your wife (about the hat at least) -- it was one of their best.
