Thanks for the followup, scrubber3. Your solution makes sense -- a lot more sense to me than some of the proposed ideas around octane and detergents. Don

Terrific job. Like it a lot. Anything special you'd do differently given the chance? Don

A buddy has a Jawbone JAMBOX. Very cool. Beautifully made, long battery life, easy Bluetooth connection, decent sound. Kinda pricey, so not for everyone, but worth considering. http://www.jawbone.com/speakers/jambox/overview from the company's website:

Sold! The case is sold. Thanks!

--SOLD-- For sale -- OtterBox Defender case for original iPad. Like new. Test-fitted to my iPad but never used. A little too bulky to carry on my frequent airplane trips. Includes original packaging also mint. I'm not going to use it, so it's time for it to find a more appreciative home...

--SOLD-- For sale -- OtterBox Defender case for iPhone 4. Like new. Test-fitted to my phone but never used. A little too bulky to carry on my bicycle during training rides. Includes original packaging also mint. I'm not going to use it, so it's time for it to find a more appreciative home...

Epoxy is a fine choice. There are a number of high durability paints and finishes that will do the job. Think two component mostly, although there are waterborne urethanes now that might be an option. No matter what, choose the right plywood grade. The adhesive systems and performance...

We're in complete agreement there, schnutzy. Higher octane than needed to prevent detonation is a waste. But that doesn't explain how a car will run poorer on higher octane. That goes against all my experience and everthing I've been taught since Doc Schraeder in my first automotive class at...

Why on earth would a car not run just as well on 93 octane vs 87? The fact that it was designed to run down to 87 in no way, shape, or form should make it run poorly on 93. It just wastes the detonation resistance of the good juice. Could you give us some insight into the mechanisms behind...

Remind me not to see whatever film that was made for... Yuck.

The 80-Series photo on their site looks really awkward with the separately-mounted stock receiver hitch below the bumper. It's gotta kill departure angles. Is that normal? Can't the receiver tube be integrated into the bumper?

That's a beautiful install. I know where you're comin' from ProwlerDriver regarding quality, and that would more than meet my standards, too! Good job Proffitt's! Don 2001 Toyota Tacoma DC 4WD TRD 1988 Jeep Cherokee XJ Limited 1962 Triumph TR3B 2008 Lexus RX350

Anybody else watching this one? Or maybe bidding? It's at $52500 as of this writing and the auction runs until December 11, 2011. It would probably be a lot more fun to have this LR than watching my 401K savings account molder away like it has the last few years... Don...

I always smiled at the thought of a birchbark canoe wrap on my old white Cherokee. Don

Kaymar for me. I've had one on my XJ for about 15 years, and have been delighted with it every day. Durable, great protection. Efficient hitch integration. Quiet and compact swingaway (with two possible on the 80 Series). Checkerplate top deck. Highly corrosion resistant. What's not to...

There was a G4 LR3 outside my room in Sitges, Spain in October 2006. The decking on the rack -- weatherproof wood, as I recall -- was pretty cool. This would be pretty neat to replicate.

On my 1988 XJ it was always vacuum/emissions plumbing that did this. Over 23 years and 300,000 miles I've had to replace the vacuum harness twice (once, however, due to some idiots at a Monkey Lube). I don't know the 1999 systems, and they're probably a lot simpler, but that's where I'd start...

The Tundra conversion was being done by Irbis Offroad in Aurora, Colorado. There are a few images still on their website. http://www.irbisoffroad.com/about-us-2/

3D is indeed in the pipeline. Definitely a look at the future. Remember that scene in Blade Runner when Decker (Harrison Ford) inspects that photo by zooming around the image in ways we can't normally do it? Might be comin'...
