Post number 61 updated with details.

Thanks for the discussion on OME options for Tacomas. An OME upgrade was easy on my old XJ. Not quite so easy for my current 2001 Tacoma, so all this info helps understand how to think about it. Also, the 2nd generation Tacoma beds are made from glass fiber-reinforced sheet molding compound...

A number of commercial vehicles have black hood treatments that don't have roof-mounted lights. Kansas Turnpike and Chicago-area highway department vehicles, for example. The objective of low-glare treatments is preventing oncoming light from being reflected up into the driver's eyes, as I...

No, they're not at all the same. Maybe the grille badge is interchangeable, but I'm not even sure about that...

Looks good. The Satoshi mod to the grille looks super. Don

I'm more than satisfied with the customer service that's been shown from Stanley. Being sought out to help a company improve its service like is being done here is almost unheard of. The timelines aren't impossible for a relatively low value, high volume item. But... maybe my expectations are...

I have a 3G iPad and it's become near indispensible to me. The way I use the iPad has evolved to the point where a camera isn't needed (that's for my iPhone) and multiple input/output options aren't important (that's for my PC). All three devices have found a happy coexistence in my world. The...

Target had OrGreenic pans on the rack the other day. They're one of several non-polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) options they had. Stop by your local target and take a look before going for the internet version. Don

There's a thread on NAXJA discussing the used of a DeeZee Dodge Ram diamond-plate tailgate edge protector as an almost perfect XJ rocker panel replacement. Heavy, pre-curved to the right profile, needing only some trimming before mounting. Sounds like a possible option for your MJ. Check...

Neat idea. Do you mean a shelf life or a working life? Shelf life implies the integrity of the soft shackle will decrease with time in storage, even with no load ever being applied. Don

Looks terrific. Good luck with the sale. What market was it originally sold into, by the way? Don

ARB has announced vehicle-specific, separately-attached recovery points for some of the 4WD vehicles in the Australian market. This is a followup to previous posts about comments from ARB in their Spring 2011 newsletter. http://www.arb.com.au/media/press/Dec2011_ARBRecoveryPoints.pdf Don

I'll assume the nav system is a close relative of the one in my 2008 Lexus RX350. That system finds a signal fast and holds it well. Why it needs A DVD system stuck in the trunk to do less than a modern deck-of-cards-sized portable unit is beyond me. Toyota, in their infinite wisdom, have...

And you're happy with them? (smile) I'm a big Hella fan. Used their stuff for many years with great results. Planning for 4000 Compact fogs on my 2001 Tacoma with ARB over the next couple of months. Susquehanna Motorsports has given me great service with Hella over the years. Don

X2 on 3M VHB (very high bond) double-sided tape. That stuff is STRONG. Probably higher strength than self-tapping screws in thin plastic, and avoids drilling holes in the dash. It ain't your normal double-sided tape. Don

Auction closed with high bid of $79,000. Don

Very nice! Looks super. Don

You have pm. Don

I like fork mount systems, and have used them successfully for decades. I'm a Thule guy. Can't really say their systems are better, just what I've used since the 70s or early 80s. Ya gotta learn to be mindful of the height change on yiur vehicle, though. this is one of the arguments for...
