    WTB: Edgestar Power Transformer

    Are you ok with something different? It should be a pretty basic part, might be able to find something similar. Might just need some new mounting or something. If you can get the specs off it try looking on digikey.com, mouser.com, or automationdirect.com. Mike

    3rd gen 4runner bumper, whats your opinions

    I like it, I do perfer and plan on buying one day the Shockworks bumper. Fill in the middle to hide the winch and it could be a real winner. I agree I like the curves, but seems like the sides need to curve in a bit more to match the body lines. That is of course if I was buying a $1000 chunk...

    iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

    Apple is storing Chinese user's data in China. They aren't shipping your data off to China. You should be more worried about Facebook. No where in that article does it say that servers were hack. "acquiring the Apple ID and password of another user" is a social engineering hack. This is a...

    iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

    Just cause someone did it first doesn't mean it was done well. I'm a fan boy but also familiar with many other devices. There are features of android I wish apple would allow, but I enjoy an eco-system that for the most parts works well together. Android has problems with fragmentation and...

    iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

    I'd just like to point out the iCloud hack wasn't really a hack. It was a social engineering "hack". Weak passwords and easy to figure out emails used for backups. So you can't say it was apple's fault. I'm going iPhone 6. The plus is just way to big to live in my pocket. I'm not in the...

    Trash hauling without an exterior tire carrier?

    Thanks E.J. I'll order one and experiment. How did the rear lift do with the weight? I know my current struts barely hold up the door.

    Any recommendations for a offline off road mapping system app for the iPad mini?

    Agreed. I also use MotionX GPS Drive for driving directions. It's done a better job then even Google. When I did have a problem, I reported the problem, and within 45 min I'm having an email conversation with tech support trouble shooting the issue. Ended up being a bug in that version...

    Trash hauling without an exterior tire carrier?

    How does it hold? I was thinking about something similar off the back of my 4runner. Wasn't sure how it would rub the paint. With that much strap showing I thought it might swing and sway a bit to much and cause rubbing.

    LED road flare with long usable storage life?

    I'm with him. They also are good fire starters. I try to replace them when we replace the flares on the sail boat. Also nothing makes you feel quite as manly as holding a flaming stick of fire. Not sure how any batteries would hold up here is AZ with the heat. I do like the idea of...

    Paper Maps

    I also carry a "Book Map" for the state I'm in. I'm not sure which brand. It lives in rig, in the pouch behind my seat. Since the iPad came out I don't think i've used it once. I will still always carry it, but at this point it's more likely to be used as an emergency fire starter.

    Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx

    I just pulled the trigger on these babies! 255/85R16 for my '01 4Runner. My tire guy owes a shop and mostly does work on stupid expensive cars was very impressed with these. He said they were a very well built tire, better then others he'd seen from Cooper. He tells me this as we are...

    Fire Extinguisher

    You never want to use water on a chemical or electrical fire. Unless your diesel uses no electricity or oil, I promise you it can still catch fire.

    Fire Extinguisher

    I'm with him. When space is available I carry one of these. They are pretty useful. It's an extra 2.5 gallons of water that can be refilled at any point. We've used it to wash off the dogs, clean off lake water off people and gear, some people mod them to use as showers. It's also a easy way...

    2000 4Runner Lift Kit Help.

    I'm in a 2001 4Runner with a Sonoran Steel life and 255/85R16. Its awesome. Fits pretty good, get some rubbing if hard over and take a good bump. Only had to remove some of the plastic crap under there. The other 99.99% of the time they are fine. It really is a great size range to be in...

    This Week's GoPro video on Lions is amazing

    That's awesome. Those Hero 3's are just amazing. I want to upgrade, but don't have enough cool things to record!

    Have 255/85R16 gone extinct?

    Sounds like Cooper is becoming the best choice. Hopefully we all buy enough they keep making them! My BFG M/T's really have been a great tire. Just wore out fast with bad alignments and all the pavement miles. I'd recommend them to anyone that lives around mud and snow. Don't know how I...

    Have 255/85R16 gone extinct?

    Everyone keeps trying to point out the very tires I mentioned. I'm wondering where all the others went. There is an older thread back from around the time I actually bought my current set, back when there were a good handful of options....not 3, 2 of which are a mud tire. Problem is all the...

    Have 255/85R16 gone extinct?

    Those are the two tires I mentioned. There used to be way more options. That size seems to be fading away. That is one of the best prices I've seen for the cooper's. I'm running the old version of the MTs and want something a bit more asphalt friendly.

    Have 255/85R16 gone extinct?

    Is it just me or has this size pretty much disappeared completely? I currently run that size in a set of BFG MT's that weren't the best choice for the desert and asphalt but they were the right size and a SCREAMING deal at the time. Actually minus the wear they have been fine, no tears or...
