    Containerized: Retromod Global Tacoma

    I can remember about 20 years ago discarding a tailgate with that old Toyota imprint from the bed of my 1981 pickup. The lower portion was so rusty it was structurally questionable. The replacement affermarket steel worked perfectly for another 18 years, but I missed that old imprint the whole...

    Lamborghini Urus

    Looks like a Mazda to me. Remember the Lamborghini LM 002? I parked next to one at the Columbus, Ohio airport in the late 80s. No idea what it was doing there...

    iPad cases

    I sold an Ottherbox Defender here on ExPo -- just too big. I've been using a Hard Candy StreetSkin thermoplastic urethane case for half a year now, and it's perfect for me. Tough, not silicone (just don't like the feel of silicone cases), super to hold onto. The nubs that hold the cover on...

    Puch Halflinger Project!

    Back when I was a little kid just starting out in the corporate world, I worked on a research project consulting for an Austrian chemical company. Having dinner in Columbus, Ohio in the early 1980s with my clients, I brought up some of the cool little vehicles made in Austria I knew about but...

    Difference between Jpeg vs. RAW explained

    I don't think I buy it. I see RAW vs jpeg as sorta like chosing to buy 2-for-1 extra large take-and-bake pizzas every time just because you get so much more pie, when I don't really want that much pizza, and I certainly don't feel like cooking it every time. Many times I just want a slice...

    Craftsman MAX AXESS - socket set

    Online discussion reports they're made in China. That's a no-go for me, and almost hurts to see the Craftsman name on Chinese hand tools. Because with China ya never know -- it may hold up beautifully, and may give up after one use. I take pride in my tools, but don't take pride in...

    Craftsman MAX AXESS - socket set

    Seems to me I once had an *ancient* socket set that was made exactly the same way. The sockets were externally hex-shaped and fit in a socket wrench that was sorta like a ratcheting box wrench. That was an old set when I used it thirty years ago... It worked great, as I recall. I'd expect...

    XJ Suspension question for experienced overlanders

    I put a basic OME kit on my 1988 XJ many years ago and its been perfect -- comfortable (better than stock) on the road, and perfectly capable of getting me to any campsite I wanted. A competent but not terribly aggressive system. Minor tire upsize to 235/75-16. OME highly recommended. Don
