    Opinions: Liberty CRD

    I want the truth. Would you buy a CRD Liberty (again)? There is a 2005 I just saw, and I very much need to change my DD to one that I can put a kid or two in the back. I've also been meaning to pick up a 4WD DD. 20mpg? True/False? Isn't bad but it isn't that good but is a diesel. I have...

    Fuel efficiency standards.

    I called Toyota customer service one time and asked jovially why don't you sell any manual transmission Land Cruisers. In an honest and genuine response, the lady replies several seconds after typing on her computer, sir our sales records show that our customers only buy automatics. Only...

    275/85r16 Petition

    If you think a 275/85r16 would be a great tire size, would you please consider signing the petition here? No one tire manufacturer currently is making this size. There have been conversations on this board as well as others about this size. Rumors have also circulated about this size (some...

    Can you give me your GPX files?

    Would any of you be kind enough to share some of your trip's GPX files with me? I work in NMEA and have no GPX files to test. I want to test lon/lat XSLT extraction. Now, I do feel XML is near the scourge of the computing world, but thrust me into this horrible data representation you tech...

    Hyundai'ish?

    Looking a little like a Hyundai with the bulging headlamps? Those cars are so cute. Oh, please say you actually integrated the running boards! It's so annoying how those pesky rednecks keep removing them and bringing shame to my luxury. About time too we get some good 20" chrome blades...

    Can anyone explain how you stuff jalepeños with yummy cheese and cream? I've been trying to cook these not only on the trail but at home and my peppers are always still too hard and the cheese too runny. How do you do it right? Especially at camp?

    Can someone school me on the enforcement area concerning off-highway use? Are State resources used on state land? BLM on BLM, and federal on fedaral land? Is a `ranger' of some district thus responsible for code (if any) enforcement across a region vs. distict State (or Fed) ownership?

    All restaurants are getting bad.

    Really, they are. I like out-of-the-way restaurants that serve different, interesting food. The environment or the atmosphere I like is disregarded. A few things make it worth it to me. Good Taste Different High Quantity Low PriceAll of this is being reversed! Is there any good places left...
