I have been wondering if a Tundra aftermarket bumper will fit up on a LC100 with little mods. Has anyone done this before? With the price for an 100 series bumper, I'd like to find some sort of alternative. I haven't found a welded kit type bumper for the 100 series even after several hours of...

I've got a full SWR meter for antenna tuning and a linear amplifier if needed. I agree with you though, HAM is the way to go for distance. I was going to go with a Yaesu handheld for long distance if I knew where the repeater stations are in an area.

I'd love to run HAM, but I haven't had time to get to class for a license.

That's a pretty slick radio. I know FRS is getting more and more prevalent on the trails, but my biggest concern is the range with FRS. I do have the ability to "run shoes" with a CB though.

I need to get off my posterior and post pics of the 450 pound rated shelf I put in my LX. It's sized so you can put in a full Hardigg case and have room for the tie downs. I've got measured drawings I need to convert to pdf if you want copies.

Hi all, I'd like to mount a very nice Cobra 29 CB with USB and LSB into my Lexus 470. That said I've got a series of questions on how best to go about it without making a complete mess of things. I tried a search of the forum but came up goose-eggs. I have been noting a change from CB to FRS...

The Tan Tank before I added some LED extra lights to the front bumper.

Yeah I've come to same conclusions about the 2UZ based on my research on BITOG (Bob Is the Oil Guy). That said, I figure a bypass filter is cheap further insurance. I'm with you Eicca, regular maintenance is the key factor. I do all my own oil changes as I don't trust anyone else spinning...

To provide some perspective, before I installed a bypass system on my 7.3L Powerstroke, I had to an OCI of 5,000 miles. That's changing out 4 gallons of oil every 5,000 miles. No thanks with all the driving I would do in the Seattle area. I've used Blackstone for years (as an engineer and...

Hi all. I'm a big fan of bypass oil filtration on engines. I have systems on my Powerstroke and will be using one on the Cadillac 472 going into my 1972 C20 Custom Camper. I've got an NTZ filter setup meant for Ford CVPI 4.6L V8s and would like to use it on my 2UZ. That said, where would one tap...

Well this was 2 weeks ago, but I had to use the Tan Tank in a search and rescue operation to find my uncle in the Salmon River country of Idaho. Thankfully, we found him alive. The Tan Tank was a beast on the trails down to the river and handled all my gear with ease for the search team. As for...

What are you using for your telemetry software to track your mileage? I'd like to use something similar. I have a ScanGauge II on my LX470

I've used Ospho for years. Learned about it working in shipyards. Spray it on, let it convert the iron oxide to an iron phosphate and then spray over it with a durable epoxy primer/paint.

I have a ScanGauge II on my LX470 and I average about 13 to 15 mpg in town. On the freeway on level ground at 65, I'll see 20mpg. One thing I did do is fill all the power train with Schaeffer full synthetics and MotorSilk friction reducer. I've used both in my vehicles for over 10 years and...
