    Really Good Binos

    I'm doing a bunch of research as I get set to take the plunge on buying a new set of really good binos. So far, I have found the 2005 review from Cornell Lab of Ornithology to be very helpful (seems to be 'the' review people comment on) but I'd love to get other points of view. My use is...

    Why caster wrong with stock height OME?

    I replaced the original LX450 suspension last year with a stock height OME kit (springs, shocks and damper). I also replaced the "rods" and TREs with the Slee after market stuff and had an alignment done. Unfortunately, no printout but I still found the steering a bit vague, suggesting too...

    Mounting Amateur Radio to Console - an alternative

    Hello all: Here is a link to some pics of my install of a mobile amateur radio. I decided that I didn't want to mount the radio 'down low' in the second slot near the radio, etc, so mounted the head unit up high, which I believe is a good mounting location for an 80 Let me know if you...

    Can I run a 120V appliance off of a 220V outlet?

    I'm in the middle of planning a kitchen reno and we are converting to a gas range that requires a 120V outlet vs the 220V that is there now. Ideally, I'd like to leave the 220V so if we sell someone could "convert" back to 220V electric range. Is there some cheap way to convert the power...

    Electrical Splices?

    I have a question about how to 'properly' splice into existing circuits (12V). I'm not talking about end connections (I use crimp-on connections and heat shrink) - how do you properly splice into an existing cable? I know most people don't like the crimp-on clips (ie both wires inserted and...

    Fast Idle (not start-up) Vacuum leak?

    I continue to experience a fast idle on my truck (no fast idle on start-up - this is an ongoing thing even when the truck is warm). The truck idles around 1000RPM even when warm. Actually the truck always feels like it's 'racing' - if I take my foot of the brake, the truck will move at a...

    Double Cardon Front Shaft and no/medium lift - problem?

    I'm in the process of replacing my front drive shaft and have a question. The price of an OEM shaft is about the same as the Slee double Cardon shaft. I certainly don't need the double cardon shaft (at most plan a medium lift), but does it makes sense to get it, given that the cost is...

    My Birfield Odyssey

    Well, after three long days mostly spent in a cold garge, I'm finally finished 'the job'. As others have mentioned, it's not 'hard' but it does take a lot of time to do the work. I did find some birf soup on the DS but the PS was still mostly intact (maybe a bit of leaking). I replaced all...

    Help - low speed vibration

    Gang: I could use some help trying to narrow down a problem that just started (in last day or so). I think I know what the problem is, but I'm in a bit of a state of denial and I may have more than one thing (unrelated?) that may be confusing the problem. Here is what I know / have done...

    Chemical Toilets

    Where to start? I've been debating about getting a portable, chemical toilet to use at a non-winterized cabin (has electric and wood stove heat, but water is shut off for the winter). I've had virtually no experience with these and was wondering if anyone here has experience: - how...

    Temp Laptop Mounts and 'electronic manuals'

    Has anyone had success in building some kind of temporary mount that is secure for a laptop that fits over the centre console area vs. a real mount which requires screwing into the floor etc? On a side note, I've been creating a great electronic manual that consists of relevant scanned FSM...
