I've been delighted with my 1988 XJ, which I've had for almost twenty years and 300 000 miles. I like the earlier body style mainly for the interior. I'm 6 foot 6, so leg room is a high value to me. The earlier style dash has no significant knee bolster taking up room. I think the Limited...

]As a slightly different take on the subject, the best brakes I've EVER had on a bicycle, having ridden dozens for over forty years now, are the Magura hydraulic rim brakes on my KTM Teramo Trekking bike. These brakes are simply amazing. Fantastic stopping ability in all conditions. Literal...

Great trip, and a super report. Many thanks for posting! Don

It's described as being built by Michael Bocklet and team from Koblenz. http://www.emercedesbenz.com/autos/mercedes-benz/unimog/mercedes-benz-unimog-expedition-camper-concept/ http://www.bocklet.eu/

I just received the bicycle I had built for me by Olivier Czuka and his father, the late Ernest Czuka, at Cycles Alex Singer in Paris. A beautiful mostly-retro (ignoring the Dura-Ace 10s derailleurs) road bike with a 69 cm frame made of Reynolds 531. I guess if you own the Alex Singer shop...

As the owner of a 1988 Cherokee with 300,000 miles, who loves his old iron, I gotta tell ya, this one is scrap. Just ain't worth it. Go find a better one.

Costco (in the store, not online) has for the last several months stocked a modest, but perfectly useful OBDII scanner for about 35 bucks from CodeKey. Approximately the size/shape of an iPod. Seems to do everything I need (read/reset codes) on every vehicle I've tried it on so far.

I've been delighted for many years with the Kaymar rear bar on my 1988 XJ.

Mario and Martyn, I can imagine this would be *very* frustrating for you. Insult to injury with your own photos, too. For what it's worth, you might guess that a lot of your target customers are active on this forum. I expect that a lot of us will make it a point to chose AT when it comes...

And for those of us into this kind of thing, the images in Tom Sheppard's latest book are being done using stochastic printing. The detail from this process is simply amazing -- much, much better than the traditional halftone screens. I think I'm going to have to add this one to my library...

Bravo on this build. :coffeedrink: I grew up camping in a 1968 Apache Eagle, and have fond memories of it. I really like the idea of upgrading the suspension, wheels, and frame on an old tent trailer. Quite a few of them were surprisingly efficient designs, and your work is showing they can...

I'd love to see photos of this rack! :coffeedrink: Don

I'm sure you guys here on ExPo have already dealt with this question many times, so I hope this won't be too hard. Didn't see the answer in any searches I've done... I'd like to put steel wheels on my 2001 Tacoma Double Cab. Used to run them in place of the alloys on my 1990 Saab 900 Turbo...

Have you consider re-deploying a shelf from industrial wire rack shelving? These are often 18 inches wide (45 cm), and up to 72 inches long (183 cm). Very much like a Yakima Basket Case. A long one might need more supports than a typical two-bar rack, but the shorter ones might work quite...

At his excellent reference site http://www.toyotareference.com/, Darren has copies of virtually all the original Toyota US brochures for viewing. You'll be able to check original details to your heart's content. I know the 22R on the 1980 pickup our family owned for 29 years was as simple as...

Yes, it is interesting to see how it's done on equipment that's outside the mainstream. :sombrero:

I keep a whole list of these and use them a lot more than one might think. They're useful for ensuring hard formatting is preserved, and keep line spacing consistent. ALT+[0128] = € ALT+[0153] = ™ ALT+[0174] = ® ALT+[0176] = ° ALT+[0177] = ± ALT+[0178] = ² ALT+[0179] = ³ ALT+[0181] = µ (for...

Ummm, my issues of Consumers Report have never had an advertisement for any other company in it. Maybe we're talking about different journals... The other points about CRs conservatism are well taken. Unfortunately, they're aiming for the typical driver. If "those people" stay away from a...

I think a bullbar for the Land Cruiser Prado 150 Series (the cousin of the Lexus GX460) is shown on the Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings Ltd. website. This is the Toyota authorized supplier of vehicles ex-stock to aid agencies and NGOs. Doesn't look bad at all to my eyes. I like the vehicle. Don

The OE backup camera on my 2008 Lexus RX is in the recess for the license plate light on the tailgate. This seems to work pretty well -- fairly good field of view of the big area behind the vehicle, and a slight downward look toward the bumper so I can back up to within less than an inch of...
