    HiLux gets new diesel

    If Toyota fails to bring a small diesel to market in North America they are morons. I can't believe they're still dithering in light of the competition...

    I may be biased, but I LOVE this new Goose Gear interior. I find myself actually packing less crap now since I can leave EVERYTHING in there full time minus groceries. Before a trip, we used to throw stuff in the truck in a "might need this" fashion but as we have evolved the rig (and our style...

The real key is to get the right length RGBW (red,green,blue,white) type LED strip with the WHITE light in the right Kelvin (temperature) some like a more bluish light while others (me) like a softer, more natural light.

    Flippac torsion bar

    My FlipPac was made in late 2009, assuming torsion bar is made circa 2009. Still going strong as of 2/2015
