    What kind of headlight bulbs do you use?

    I bought some silvania silverstars and won't again. Like was said they only appeared brighter and in fog really sucked! also they had a super short lifespan. Both burned out about a year after I bought them and in the same week!

    for those with an ipoid touch there should be two GPS solutions coming in the new year one from Magellan and one from Dual electronics. The dual one looks better but the Magellan one will be out sooner.

    Who wants CTIS?

    we had a guy in our club with a hummer and it kinda worked. Not well and always had leaks. He put huge solid discs on his wheels to stop it from getting ripped off. With a non portal axled vehicle I can't see it being done for anything even close to reasonable $$$.

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    wow this is very cool. My wife will need a new rig next year and this just solidified getting a JK. Having it enter over the rear seats is too cool. I like being able to keep the rear storage intact.

    Ryobi Rechargeable Tools

    I have had an 18V combo kit for around 3 years now. It has worked flawlessly. One thing I like about Ryobi is they keep the price of batteries cheap. I had a dewalt drill and both batteries died. Two new batteries were more than the whole Ryobi kit! I recently picked up the impact driver and its...

    Suzuki Owners; Let's see your ExPo Trucks

    the 16V started in '92 it was only '91 that had the 4 door and 8 valve motor. The 4 door kicks are cool and very capable. I was amazed at what I could get in mine. alas it rusted out so I parted it out.

    Apple Tablet: iPad

    I have never been an Apple user. I recently bought a Touch for our 2 week trip that I needed to have e-mail access for and needed a new music player. WOW is all I can say. If the tablet is anything like the touch or Iphone I would probably look at one now. My touch just eliminated 3 devices in...

    Landcruiser Diesel

    a 60 with a 3b and a 4 speed will not be fast but will be super reliable! Turbo will make a world of difference then a 5 spd. Ask how many kms on the motor. Check for rust because if its rusty you might as well do the conversion yourself with a rust free one to start with.

    1973 Travel Trailer - "Baby Blue"

    Cool little trailer. We bought a 12' travelaire in the Spring and used it all summer. No bathroom so it has a bed for my son and the table folds down for us. Mine seems quite heavy for what it is though. Can't complain for $800!

    LandCruiser Dump Truck

    that is a huge cylinder on that dump! Most of them are easy to take all the dump stuff off and convert back to flatdeck. We do it at my shop for other vehicles all the time and we also do alot of converting decks to dump as well. Nice truck. What site do you look at to find these rigs in Japan?
