Sweet! What do you design? I have owned iPhones and iPads for many years and think they are market-leading products and a great tool/device for many. The last 2 Mac Pros I donated to the recycler were not repurposed but broken down to scrap metal. I thought they were built like a tank and wanted...

Agreed, easily cut = Visual more than actual deterrent. BTW, Google-Fu shows 1/8 inch (0.125") is 11 gauge. Similar to this Mac donor. The tubing is the hidden surprise with rebar (not "Intel inside"). Certainly not impervious to theft, but hopefully undesirable = move on lowly thief

This was a fun project. Having read the horror stories and wanting to take preventative measures, I made my own Cat Shields. I work in IT and have a 10-year-old Mac Pro in need of recycling. I admire the beefy aluminum side panels of the case and thought I could put them to use. It was a...

Get a Lithium battery that has BMS Be mindful of charging voltage requirements for Lithium VS SLA using "stock" alternator output voltages (having no alt-s fuse mod) Consdier using BOTH Lithium and SLA: https://forum.ih8mud.com/posts/14591407/bookmark

nice pics and thanks for that info!

I used a BNR Alternator from eBay and have no issues. (One 100AH in cabin and Group 49 in stock location under hood) The BNR units are made in USA and seem well-built. You want the 3-pin and not the 4-pin for your rig in your sig. It's hard to go wrong with a price like that $245 for 250A If...

I am in the North Texas area and want to get my 2004 LX470 (no NightView) Windshield replaced. Who did you use or would you recommend NOT using? I was hoping to work with a local shop that a fellow Mudder would recommend. TIA PFA Perini Ranch Steakhouse in Buffalo Gap, Texas

What reseller did you go with for the door handle and mirror?

my 2004 LX does this too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Group 49 FTW! Been running strong since June 2020. Spacer on top is 3/4 plywood cut to fit.

Howdy from Texas! A quick search found this: (I chimed in on my mod/fix)...and yes, a new throttle body will fix that if you prefer no mods https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/coolant-leak-issue-near-throttle-body.967208/

@Zooguy sorry for the slow reply, still not installed but keeping them. Life stuff and other delays = by the time I get around to wanting to do it, the seller might be out of stock or sometimes out of business...so I at least have them. I also don't have lights for the brackets and want an...

agree that is likely, it just seems odd that this has recently changed on its own. The two beeps to unlock are still there as well as two visual flashes from the hazzards. Can anyone confirm if it is an all on or all off setting OR if lock and unlock have separate beep settings? To restate...

I noticed that I no longer hear a single beep when locking the doors with the key and the flashers don't flash at all. Unlock still makes two beeps and flashes the hazards two times. All doors do lock and unlock properly. The only oddity I find is the Passenger Front Door actuator makes an...

Does anyone in the North Texas or Southern Oklahoma area know a shop I can call to get mud tires "trued"? Tread removal for the purpose of evening out the hi/lo spots. Seems this is antiquated and not common or easy to find these days. My 33's are not too bad but are starting to growl and I...
