    Mice in AC Vent ducts

    I found a bunch of mouse debris (Droppings, acorn shells, etc) sitting on top of the cabin filter in my '10 Tundra. There's no room to remove the debris before pulling the filter and I ended up having some of the shells fall onto the blower motor. It's a pain to get all the shells out of the...

    2012 Tacoma Pics

    Saw some 2012 Tacoma pics on TacomaWorld and thought I'd post a link. Check out post #2049 (pg103) for a pdf. Not much has changed on the new Tacoma, just front end cosmetics and interior changes. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/173250-2012-tacoma-mega-thread-103.html

    VW Clutch Cable Upgrade

    Buggies and Bajas at the VW Classic

    Saw some ridiculously cool buggies and bajas in Irvine yesterday and had to share. The show reminded me of the late 90's when I used to show my baja....but these days it gets used like it should. Besides, it's way too dirty and scratched now to show!

    Using An Iphone Radio Ap?

    Wondering if anyone is using either an fm radio or another radio ap for an Iphone? Which ap are you using, and how do you like it? I originally thought about a Sirius add on for my truck radio, but an Iphone radio ap may fit the bill also.

    Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

    Let's get a thread going with lots of pics of hard sided campers. I'll start....I bought my first hard side camper in the early 80's. I found it in Simi Valley just down the street from me. I can't remember the year, but it's a 70's Gold Coast 10 1/2'. It was pretty basic (stove, oven, ice box)...

    Greg's Thing Progress

    Thought I'd start a thread and post updates and upgrades to my new Thing. Today I solved a grinding sound with the brakes (posted in another thread) but they still pull to the left. I'll be replacing the wheel cylinders next week. Also today I installed a CompU Fire ignition in the Thing...

    Buying A Thing- My Adventure

    2466 miles. Freeway lag. Too many Subway sandwiches. Rain.... A Bitchen time! I just got back from a road trip to Hamilton Montana to have a look at a 73 Thing that I saw on Craigslist.

    SLR Dust Protection

    I found some great jackets for my video gear from KATA- http://www.kata-bags.com/index.asp?UP1=OK Dust getting into the tape mechanism wreaks havoc on a video camera and it ends up throwing up error codes....Not fun. Eventually I'll get cameras that record to memory cards. I have yet to buy...

    Tuesday on the Mountain- Part 1

    I live 3 miles south of Idyllwild CA in Pine Cove, and thought I'd share a mini photo drive I did yesterday. Since my wife was at school in Palm Desert, I thought I'd take a drive in my baja bug. I started out driving off the mountain to Beaumont to look around in Best Buy....but didn't buy...

    Having several types of cameras is a perfect solution for different activities. Compact cameras for hiking and carrying in a pocket, bigger SLR's for more serious shoots. So what does everyone own? Currently I own a Canon S3is which is a good all around camera. Most of my efforts are with...

    Got Gif's?

    A couple months ago when we were getting blasted with heavy snow, I had time between snow blowing/ plowing to learn how to make gif images. It's something I've wanted to do for a while, and had a lot of fun in the process. Just in case you don't know what gifs are (I'm sure most of you do)...
