    School me on home-defense (gun related).

    I go by what my dad tought me years ago, better to judged by 12, then carried by 6. I grew up around guns my whole life. At 7 years old, I had passed the CA Hunter Safety program, the youngest at the time to ever do so. I was educated about gun safety from a very young age and pass on my...

    Is my Cat. gone bad.

    You mean the 2.5L actually had power??? :elkgrin: I haven't had it happen to me but I have had it happen to friends. The vehicle will run okay until placed under a heavy load or high RPM's. Depending on how bad it is clogged, it can be a minor loss or power or a major one. You can try check...

    NP 231 Test?

    Some people have had problems getting out fill or drain plugs, either seized in the housing or not having the right tool (some fill and drain plugs are different and take different tools). The idea is, make sure you can get new fluid in BEFORE you take the old fluid out. If not, you're not...

    So in talking to my wife and mother-in-law

    Oh crap!!! :Wow1: I never imagined a Westy Syncro would go for this type of money. I guess I have never really priced one and with these type of prices, will never own one either. http://www.gowesty.com/sale_details.php?id=1198 Very cool rig though! :victory:

    NP 231 Test?

    Dextron III ATF fluid, same as the AW4 transmission. As Jason said, there is not much testing off vehicle you can do outside of a general inspection. If you can spin everything without binding and it shifts between ranges, you're most likely okay. Overall these are solid cases, outside of the...

    San Diego East County Run....In Honor of Agent Rosas

    We had our SPOT along with us. I had it in a bad spot on the console so it didn't track as well as I hoped but it did get 10 hits. Guess I need to find a better place to place it. If anyone is curious, here's the link...

    Looking to get a new camera

    Based on another thread on ExPo, sounds like waiting until next month for the new Cannon G11 might be the cats meow. I have been looking at moving to a DSLR (Cannon T1r or XSi) but being a larger form factor, it might not be as convenent to carry on the fly. Still debating.

    Hand Tools: The highest quality/value

    Early in my wrenching days, I mostly used Craftsman and still have a fair amount of them. A buddy who had access to a Snap On truck started getting me replacement things (ratches, screwdrivers, sockets, etc.) for Christmas and birthday presents. Once I started using them, man did I feel a...

    San Diego East County Run....In Honor of Agent Rosas

    After we got back to the main road, three of the group needed to head back home for prior engagements. SWR and us went to the northside of I-8 freeway to check out the old overland stage route. There were some tight spot that the Land Cruiser and Xterra may have had problems with. It was a...

    San Diego East County Run....In Honor of Agent Rosas

    Well, we are back from a great day wheeling. Thank SWR (Mark) for putting this together. It took us into places I have never been or even knew were there. Saw some great sites, did some nice wheeling but nothing extreme enough to cause damage or problems. It was really nice to meet some new...

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    WOW!!! :Wow1: Glad you are okay but man, the damage to the truck, you would think you would have faired much worse. Glad the fridge didn't attack you. Glad you are going to tie it down in the future. Good report of a very extreme usage of this fridge and it still works.
