I've decided to sell both my truck and daily driver and get one, single-purpose replacement. Up for sale here is my 1995 bronco. price drop: $4,000 It's basically stock. I bought it about 6 years ago and have put 20,000 miles on it in that time. Within the first year or two I replaced the...

***Sold!*** I've kept these on the shelf for five years or so. The photography is beautiful, and the articles are first rate. I look at them again and again, but not enough to keep them any more. They've got to give way to new projects. The recent issues are in very good shape, the older...

Edit: photos added. There's a red '97 D1 in my neighborhood that's for sale. Auto trans, leather, no sunroofs. Sign in the window says 714.248.2567. No further details, but I have a couple of iPhone pics which i will upload shortly. Its dirty, but there isn't any obvious body or paint...

Oh, my. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/2931723918.html

So I just received my Edgestar fridge, and I'm thinking about getting creative on how to power and secure it in two different vehicles, a '95 Bronco or our '04 Sequoia. Neither vehicle has a dual battery system, but I'm thinking that I'll want one to power the fridge while the vehicle is off...

We're considering a new family hauler, tow vehicle for a travel trailer. I notice that the 2005 Landcruiser is rated to tow 6500, while the LX470 is only rated for 5000. The drivetrain is the same, so I assume that there is some kind of suspension issue. The earlier versions of the Lex are...

The kids and I were bored this weekend, and around lunchtime Sunday my 11 year old suggested that we make solar ovens. So we did. Sorry, no photos. Basically we took shoebox sized boxes and spray painted the insides black. Then we put the shoeboxes inside bigger boxes and stuffed poly fluff...

I've had a marine Battery Brain installed for a month or so now, and have used it a couple of times- great product! When it senses battery voltage below 11.5, it cuts power. There is a bypass circuit for radio memory, and an interlock for ignition-on so that it won't cut off the battery when...

I picked this up when I was planning to re-gear my Bronco. I was told it was from an early 80's vehicle with a bolt in axle stub, that it would fit any Ford IFS with the proper axles. There is very, very little play between the ring and pinon, and it looks to my eye like it came right off the...

Post up the good and the bad, but especially the good. Personally, I don't like exposed wires and brackets. I hate mic wires dangling down from the roof. Bonus points for radios that "disappear" in the car. The first is awesome- remote faceplate that goes away easily, no exposed wires. I...

Here's a little writeup of my center console project, by request. With a career, wife, kids, dog and cat, I get to work on it a couple of hours per week. Its like building a ship in a bottle, except the ship is the console and the bottle is my free time. Of course, this is a "problem" that I...

Ham gurus: Advice sought! I've already talked to Cobra and Wilson, with ambiguous responses to this question. At present, I have a Wilson 1000 CB antenna with a 60" whip in a through-the-roof mount. It's visible in the photos below and works very, very well. I'd like to mount a dualband...

I'm still recovering from sticker shock for quality stranded wire at West Marine. Does anyone have a source for more affordable alternatives? I need 8-14 gauge, either by the foot or in 25' spools.

I'm getting ready to run an aux power system, which will consist of battery 12v through a Blue Sea 6 Fuse block. It will power an inverter, CB, a couple of 12v outlets and eventually a 2m radio. I'm trying to decide where to mount the fuse block: Ideally it would be in the center console...

I passed. So now I'll be shopping for a radio, and hopefully my call sign gets listed before the SoCal Desert Rendezvous. :) Everyone was talking about a new Wouxun handheld with a great price: http://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-010931 I might pick this up for the time being.

Got a mid '90's Maxima? Need a maintenance guide to change your headlight fluid? PM me your address and its yours. Used, smudges, but really good shape otherwise. Price: free, but please do something nice for a fellow human in return. :sombrero:

I'm planning a suspension redo, starting with the front. I'm leaning towards a set of Superlift 1.5 "leveling springs" and will eventually run 33x10.5 or 32x11.5 tires. Question is, what shocks to use on the factory quad mounts? Bilstein 5100's are alternately described as "too stiff" or "the...

Our daughters (6yrs, 9 yrs, 11 yrs) have never skiied before- they are somewhat athletic, but not natural jocks. They are going to be tentative; although I could be surprised! Where is a good place for kids to learn? We're spending two days skiing, and aren't tied to any particular place...

Does anyone other than Mr. Hiscox actually own one of these? The Expeditions West vehicle is apparently no more, and a quick Google didn't turn up any owner pages. Unlike the big ER's, I don't see them around, ever. I don't find a dedicated message board, unlike SMB. I'm curious about how...

Go buy bulk bungee cord for a few cents. Drill holes all over your vehicle. Thread the bungee. http://mandamus.typepad.com/onefullplate/2010/10/bungee.html
