When I did a combustion analysis on my heater the CO was in excess of 1000ppm. I didn't test mine at the highest rate of burn so take this for what its worth, I should do another test at max burn. Still worrying that the output is that high. In my econoline the heater cruises along at a low...

Not it's most flattering angle but I really like the Fj steelies I just put on.

That is strange you didn't pick any CO up on the detector. Mine puts out well over 1000ppm when measured undiluted from the exhaust.

Can't say I have, Toyota isn't infallible and they've certainly made bad decisions at times. We could go tit for tat all day on Japanese vs domestic engineering. Fortunately there's enough room for both in my garage.

It's interesting to compare our fleet GMs to Fords, the Ford engine bays tend to look like 20# of ******** in a 5# bag. Won't keep me from buying another Ford in the future but I wish they were less cluttered. Maybe that's what @Boatbuilder79 is getting at, he never said reliability just the way...

I've been using the first two daily for years at work, perfect for my needs. I do warranty the strippers at Home depot twice a year but only because they get a little worn, they're still usable though.

Adventure Motors in KC deals exclusively in 4x4 Toyotas and often has Land Cruisers listed. Prices are usually too steep for me but I'm not really in the demographic they cater to.

The K series engines are known to be very reliable, and unlike most Honda engines they have a timing chain . The Element auto transmission however isn't great. If my wife was willing to drive a manual we would have one in the fleet. This one seems like a decent deal even with the mileage, the...

I've had KYB shocks in on my e-250 and e-350. I've been pleased with the ride but it's definitely not great on washboard roads. The best my e-250 ever rode was fully loaded as a work van.

Can't say say you bought a lemon given the age and mileage as well as not knowing the history of the truck. If the po hauled heavy and used the truck offroad and in the mountains I could see a transmission and rear end going out prematurely. At that mileage a wheel bearing and ps leak aren't...

FWIW in my area ~8-12k will get you a nice v8 runner with ~100k on it. I prefer to buy a clean stock rig and build it up myself. No sense in paying a premium for parts you may need to rebuild or replace anyway. It would be easy to dump a few thousand if it needs cv boots, ball ball joints, wheel...

From my experience in HVAC I would be looking very closely at your install. Not saying your install is at fault. But making sure the return/supply and intake/exhaust are by the book as well as maintaining correct clearances around unit. Making sure hot air isn't cycling back into the return is...

I carry a Streamlight Stylus pro or Microstream. Both usb rechargeable, I use them minimum 5 days a week doing HVAC work and they just plain work. I'm always nagging on our new guys for using their cell phone as a light, that's a pretty expensive light considering how poor the output is.

I'm hoping Ford sells a ton of Rangers, I'd like to replace my 03 Tundra with a used one in 4-5 years if the prices are reasonable. As my username suggests I'm a Toyota fanboy, however a newer Taco or Tundra doesn't appeal to me. Also, even if I could get an f150 for roughly the same price the...

I'm not one to victim blame but I have hidden and not so hidden switches on my vehicles and they are worth significantly less than his LC.

I agree on the width I wanted one no wider than the cab, the front bar width however is something I still don't like. The fenders are something I threw on quickly with plans to change later. They are definitely only big enough for a stock size tire. I would like to find or make some front...

Certainly, I haven't taken many pictures but here are some older ones when I first installed it. From the back you can see it's just about too small for the truck but the next size was something like 10" wider.

I like jsnow's bed, that's a proper ute tray. Mine is an Aluma 68087. It measures 72" wide. The deck is 87" long. I never measured total length. It fits well on my access cab, I think it would be too narrow for a dc. I feel the price was reasonable at $1800. I had to use a converter and flasher...

My 03, getting closer to the way I want it.

Something helpful I did while putting my Coastal bumper together was weld on some zip tie tabs. They make cable management for lights and winch much better.
