My voltage meter habitually reads low, like 9-10 volts. I have a new battery and new alternator, and running a Fluke volt meter on the battery leads reads +12 to 13 volts, so my juice is pure, but the voltage meter in the gauge pack is not convinced. Looking through the Service Manuals, I...

I need a new nose box for my trailer. The one I have is a very specific size and shape to allow the rear mounted swing out tire on a Jeep to open unhindered by the trailer, but it is not dust proof, doesn't hold much, and is starting to fall apart to rust. Where do you home builders get your...

GrassCat recently sold his rig to LordMordred, who brought it to our Meet and Greet today. I noticed this new looking solenoid on his throttle assembly and wondered what on earth it is for? Any one know?

The truck i recently bought, being charitable, needs a lot of work. Some of that work will require a torque wrench, and I don't own one. I don't know much about them, and when I compare a Craftsman torque wrench for $80, to say, Snapon's for $450, I gotta wonder, what is it that i'm not...

Okay, so I got my new 1998 Gen 2.5 Montero. I intend this to be a trail rig in the near future, with plans for a suspension upgrade, body lift, and tires. Then sliders, bumpers, armor, etc.... But first, I am getting acquainted with the truck, and sorting through misc items, and seeking advice...

What are the dimensions (hub, offset, etc..) that I should be looking for to go from a 15" wheel to a 16" wheel? What OEM brands fit? I have heard that Toyota Tacoma wheels will fit, but this is unsubstantiated. Can anyone confirm this? I am having difficulty finding 33"x10.5x15R tires, and...

I'm trying to decide (justify) how much to overspend my budget on a new MacBook Pro Retina. At long last, I have an opportunity to replace my aging desktop computer. It''s pretty much a dinosaur at 8 years old, and though I've upgraded it over the years, it just flat out can't handle what I...

Taking a page from Netflix's "Business School of Stupid", SmugMug has decided to double it's fees for Pro account users. I really like SmugMug for its general speed, amazingly good compression algorithms for displaying images clearly, its capacity to display images extremely large, its built-in...

In what I think is a ridiculous ruling, a UK judge is forcing Apple to post an add on their website for 6 months stating that Samsung did not clone the iPad. The Joy of Tech website has a funny idea for what that add might look like: Why do I think this is ridiculous? Exhibit A:

On REI's home page right now, they have a short little time lapse of a car camping scenario being set up. http://www.rei.com/

Is there an online source info that serves as a buyers guide for Tacoma's and 4Runners specific to the typical needs of someone who WILL be using the vehicle off road quite a bit? I have done a casual bit of research, and haven't really found anything like this, but I am not very savvy in the...

In honor of Memorial Day,this seems appropriate to post. The link below is a very in-depth story on the extent of uses Joe Rosenthal's famous Iwo Jima image has been put too. I personally don't think I'd want to have to go through all the things he did, both to get the shot, and all that...
