If you're US-based, try Susquehanna Motorsports. They carry a lot and what they don't have they can probably order. Very helpful folks. http://www.rallylights.com/hella/

You're talking full-frame equivalent, of course, Trevor? I shot an awful lot of film at 135mm. Maybe 105mm now with the Canon 5Dmkii. I haven't taken that many artistic digital shots with wide angle (auto racing has been a main photographic pursuit over the last few years, where telephoto...

Interesting data, haven. In my town FJCs are all over the place -- I see many of them a day anytime I'm out and about. I'd have guessed there were a lot more sold than are. Don

See -- it worked. Like taking an umbrella to make sure it doesn't rain.

Looks super! Following with great interest.

Thanks for the reference, haven. The author talks at length about add-on photo apps, and notes the built in camera app leaves much to be desired (at least in iOS). I've tried to take "decent" photos on my iPhone 4S and the best results I can get with the stock app are so far behind even my old...

You guys were working on a RTT quick-release system a few years ago. Did you ever finalize that design?

Man, that is sooo much nicer than the simple construction used underneath the original Apaches. Their plywood bases on a puny frame were always their weakest part -- not on your version! This project continues to be a delight to watch.

I'd definitely wash off whatever caused the attack. Dilution is the solution here. I'd use cold water -- warm at most and wouldn't use hot at all. I'd let room temperature and time take care of things once the surface is free of the agent damaging the plastic. What exact brand is the ice...

This does not sound good at ALL. I'd guess the fridge liner is a thermoplastic, probably vacuum-formed into the shape needed, and the polymer was attacked by the contents or the material of the ice pack. Fridge liners are (AFAIK) often ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) a fine material...

Your careful approach will pay off, I'm sure. VHB tape is a good choice -- fershure it lives up to its "very high bond" name. With long lengths of your skin bonded to the framing there likely won't be much flex. One thing to look for in the design are stress risers. Those can be significant...

Very nice. Etosha looks like a great park to visit. Thanks for posting your photos. Don

But the skin will be structurally bonded to the frame, though, won't it? The structure is intended to be frame + stressed skin, right? That might change stress distribution. You may have to go through some of this twice...

This is your CL listing, yes?

Exactly right -- South Africa. The company says so on the website quite clearly. Specialist Off-Road Trailers BMD Projects engineering cc. started off in 1999 in the Tsitsikamma - Eastern Cape as a small family operated business consisting of myself, Mickey Vorster the father and my three...

Danaher used to have the Apex Tool Group joint venture with Cooper Industries, but spun that off to Bain Capital in October 2012. Apex makes tools for a lot of folks, including Armstrong as one of their own brands and they're one of the bigger private label producers for Craftsman. Much of the...

Do you have any sources for that you can share? That Kobalt = SO rejects would be news to me.

Those UK wheels are not the ones I normally see on Hilux models in Europe -- but they do indeed look like exactly the same wheel as the LC-70 series in the US Toyota parts book. For reference, here are some shots of steelies older Hiluxes or LC Prado models over the last few years. Ya gotta...

Better than marketing a car called "Nova" in a Spanish-speaking country, I guess.

I have five of those in my garage, as a future project for my 2001 Tacoma. Got 'em from Cruiser Dan at a good price. It's a LC wheel fershure. I don't think it ever came stock on a Hilux, did it? Don
