Costco has a new product listed these days -- a WaterPORT plastic water tank capable of being pressurized through a Shraeder valve and mounted on a vehicle's rack. I'm not sure I'd be in a hurry to mount over 90 lb / 40 kg that high on any of my vehicles, but, hey, it might give some of y'all...

Purchased new by me in January 2012 for my Gen1.5 Tacoma and never used as I soon found the Mountain Top tonneau I'd been looking for. Never installed. $XX via PayPal shipped to CONUS address from 63117. $XX total shipped if you'd like to include the original box, too (otherwise I'll pack...

Some of you may have seen the giveaway of the lift kit and suspension on a new-to-me 2003 Tacoma DC 4WD TRD as I make some upgrades more to my liking. That stuff found a home on here, which makes me happy 'cause otherwise decent stuff isn't getting pitched...

I'm getting ready to put an Old Man Emu kit on a new-to-me 2003 Tacoma DC 4WD TRD. I've really liked the OME on my 2001 Tacoma DC 4WD TRD (soon to be for sale) for the last six years or so, and I'm not crazy about the lift on the Bilstein 5100-series kit the previous owner put on the 2003...

SmartBar in Australia has been making progress with their designs and aesthetics for a few years now. They have a pretty good product line, and to my eyes at least, these rotomolded LDPE bullbars look decent. If they made one for my 2015 Tacoma, I'd consider it. My 2001 and now 2003 Tacomas...

This was one of the response vehicles last weekend at the Goodwood Members Meeting in the south of England. What a great utility body! I could find a lotta uses for that design...

Saw this one as it was driving around the circuit after it was opened to traffic on Saturday before the Monaco Grand Prix the next day. Entering Casino Square. If this is an illogical vehicle anywhere it's doubly so in Monaco! Quick grabs with the camera -- apologies for the quality.

They highlight it on the toyota.com Land Cruiser page under "Heritage". Alas, this is probably as close as they'll ever get to selling the 70-series here.

These were at my local Costco over the weekend.

I well remember these by the thousands as we camped throughout the US as a kid in the 1960s and early 1970s... Not something I'd want to own, but it's nice to see they're appreciated. http://rvdailyreport.com/products/shasta-to-reissue-an-updated-1961-airflyte/

As the clock turned from June 21 to 22, Midsummer, and the longest day of the year, I had the chance to be standing on the Arctic Circle in Finland watching the midnight sun in one sky and the full supermoon in the other. Very cool. The trip to the Arctic Circle has been on my list for almost...

I got a pair of Riggs Workwear carpenter pants in khaki ripstop cotton at Menards in November, and I've been trying like heck to wear them out. Man, these are a well-made pair of tough pants for about $35. They're ripstop 100% cotton, bar-tacked and reinforced at all stress points, with...

I received my first letter from Toyota notifying me my 2001 Tacoma DC 4WD TRD is subject to the recall for corrosion on the spare tire hoist and I'm awaiting next steps. Toyota note during manufacture the lift plate may not have been sufficiently coated with phosphate. Yup, ya think? Toyota...

There are some interesting tips here for old-school repairs to wartime vehicles looking to get home from the field. While the technology of our vehicles has changed a lot, there's a surprising amount here that will look familiar. Don download or view here (my ftp server)...

Saw a green-with-white-roof Defender 130 HCPU with tan canvas bed cover/hoopset hood headed eastbound on I-24 near Fort Campbell at the KY/TN state line yesterday. It was the only load on a flatbed trailer. Somebody getting a new toy? Don

These Tough Box totes are good for a plastic storage box. Reasonably strong and sufficiently stiff to carry heavy things. Made in USA. The top fits well enough, although not hinged or latched and not waterproof. I have a couple and can recommend them if you're in the market for this kind of...

No connection except I've always liked these. Don http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/ctd/3589689170.html

The 6D seems like an interesting option. Full frame -- near same size as 5D mk ii. Smaller body overall, although with some polycarbonate in addition to magnesium. Built in wifi and GPS, a nice point for me. SD card only, my preferred format. Maybe not quite the autofocus system of the 5D...

Not your average Series I... At auction this week for £129,000 http://www.classicandsportscar.com/news/classic-car-auctions/churchills-land-rover-makes-a-mammoth-£129000 Don
