    Holiday Almond Toffee, good to buy, good to give, not fat free :)

    Howdy all...so years ago...like many year ago, I was on this forum daily spent an enormous amount of time chatting and helping think through tough problems with vehicles (and religion and politics chat just for fun)...and then, around the Holiday season I'd make and sell this ridiculously good...

    '96 with sluggish behavior

    Howdy, I have a trusty '96 4runner V6 with a bazillion miles (417k) and recently (probably a few years at least, it's my son's vehicle, he doesn't complain much) , it's felt sluggish whenever you push the gas pedal past about 10%. Meaning, it drives fine, even feels moderately peppy in slow...

    High mileage issues, anything common?

    Hi there, thinking about pulling the trigger and buying a used GX470 but curious about any expected high mileage issues. By high mileage I mean 300-400+k miles. My current 4runner is creeping in on 400k and my wife's last car (Toyota Echo) was just shy of 400k when we ditched it. So I chuckle...

    Any HVAC guys out there that could bend up some sheet-metal for me?

    Hey, anyone out there have access to tools to bend up a over-stove hood? It will be nothing fancy, but (this is somewhat painful to admit...) I bought this new-to-me kitchen stove only because this is a double-oven (Maytag Gemini) and the larger of the two is a convection oven (main reason I...

    Engel / ARB fridge, anyone modified to do constant temp?

    Looking at getting a Engel / ARB fridge...as best I can tell the setting on the unit is a duty-cycle setting, just how much you want the compressor to run. Not an actual temperature setting, keep it there, etc. So you set it to say 2 and it cools to say 34 degrees, but if it's in a 110 degree...
