I've personally had great luck with the IBM/Lenovo thinkpad line. My T60p is going strong with no issues after 4 years now, and my brother got 7 years out of his R40 before he retired it for a new one:) They are built significantly stouter than the average consumer grade laptop, with a full...

My guess is that originally round cans were a lot easier/cheaper to make, simply rolled from sheet metal and sealed with endcaps, where a square can would be more involved. Since they're now established I bet the change in manufacturing equipment to switch to square/rectangular cans would be...

I have a friend who has a waterjet cutting setup, I'd be happy to pass on the DWG file to him for a quote. He prefers to work on a 'provide your own material' basis, but I'd be willing to handle the material.

Well, I finally get a valid reason to post to this forum: I finally got my T100 that's been in the works for a few months. I picked it up over christmas and drove it back down from Oregon, and took it out in the dirt the next day:) Nothing impressive, but we were by ourselves and with a totally...

I jusut pulled some swaybar endlinks I made off ym WRX. They had been on there for ~40,000 miles and 2 years.The polyurethans is still solid and jsut as stiff as the day I put them in. I was running these as a stress test withn no lube/grease, to see how they would hold up, so they were pretty...

The benefits of DSLR's are the ability to change lenses, no shutter lag, and more manual controls, among others. The downsides of DSLR's are size and weight, the ability to change lenses, and too many controls :) I was in the same boat as you a few years ago, and opted to get a higher end...

Does the clutch mechanism have any adjustment to it? I know most modern hydraulic clutch assemblies are 'self adjusting', but have seen some cases where there is still manual adjustment. I've also seen cases where the slave cylinder being out of adjustment caused the clutch to never engage...

Here's how you'll typically meet my dog on a weekend:

But the real question is ... will it break the first time you use it, like everything else from HF? Cause that might be bad, what with it containing fuel and all :)

Like teotwaki said REI sales are a great place to find deals on gear. I have been really happy with all of the REI branded gear I own. A good sleeping bag will last you 10+ years of frequent use if you take care of it. I have an REI 20 degree bag, and got a fleece liner that I can add in for...

I came across this truck a few months ago, it was parked outside a stoneworks company, no clue what they use it for.

Damn, if my fork wasn't off at Fox being fixed I'd seriously think about heading out to join you. I've been wanting to hit up Bootleg for a while now, and my other weekend plans fell through. Have fun and bring back pictures!

How I read it was that non-TRD rear diffs were the so called 8.4", same as the rear on my T-100. The TRD E-Locker 3rd member is not compatible with the axle housing. On the Tacomas the consensus seems to be to find a TRD rear axle with the E-Locker in it and swap it in, or go with a regular...

I've found this site very helpful for learning about the axles/differentials for the T100: http://home.4x4wire.com/erik/diffs/

They had a video of it (from MS) a while ago: http://gizmodo.com/5369493/the-courier-files-how-microsoft-thinks-well-use-their-secret-tablet Looks pretty cool, but they seem to be targeting a pretty narrow market. I can buy a lot of Moleskine books for the price those will be sold at :)

Guys a word of warning, MOST stainless bolts are only about equivalent to SAE Grade 5 or Metric 8.8 bolts. For suspension parts I prefer to use SAE Grade 8 or Metric 10.9 rated bolts, both of which exceed the tensile stength of any commonly available stainless alternatives. If the usual gold...

Surprisingly Frys has a decent selection of small cases. Are you looking for a full size range or just to check out the details?

What wheel width are you running? Are the measurements both off of mounted, aired up tires?

If you don't intend to use your extended warranty some times you can cancel it and get a prorated refund. I did this with my Subaru WRX after I realized there was no way it was staying stock :)

The hood on these is designed so it sits very flat against your shoulders when not in use. I like it a lot better than loose floppy hoods that catch the wind. As far as fit, I'd definitely say they are 'Athletic Cut'. I ordered one size larger than the site recommended and am happy with the...
