I am officially licensed in a smog free county and am contemplating desmogging my 97 LX. Doing some research to see if I'm shooting myself in the foot if I plan a turbo or supercharger down the road. Has anyone desmogged (i.e. EGR, cats, etc.) and regretted doing so? Any ODB2 issues? Thanks...
I have a carport/garage conversion with low clearance but large 4 car capacity. I am looking for a solution to swap out my 33 inch tires for a low profile solution to fit into my garage for major service (birfs, engine work, etc.)
The idea is to swap the large tires for say, 16" OEM inch...
I live where there's waaaaay more mud now than the desert I grew up in and I'm looking for a cordless power cleaner (not pressure washer) to carry with me to quickly wash off my truck after a run or during a stop near water. I'm an avid user of the 20v DeWalt tool line and their 20v Cordless...
I'm tracking down new OEM HID headlight assemblies for my 2001 Lexus RX 300 to replace the cloudy ones. I see a new P/N 81170-48130 ($508.00) which seems to have replaced the original P/N 81150-48130 ($1252.00). The new P/N is a higher number so I assume Toyota/Lexus updates them now and then...

I came across this product from Meso Customs and have sent them a note pleading for help in the 80-market. If anyone wants to leverage this approach or can convince the folks at Meso to wander away from the Taco world for a bit, it would be great. I'm running a Red map light but need a white...
Just came across this today. Not affiliated but it quickly and easily fixes some of my lighting issues with my Prinsu rack. Not too badly priced either.

I'm having a bear of a time sourcing a replacement PVC cover for my TJM Yulara RTT. Does anyone know if another vendor's product (say Thule/Tepui) will fit the Yulara?? TIA!
Having recently left the desert of Phoenix (where the supercharger was discouraged by those in the know and nudging me towards a turbo instead) and fleeing to Eastern Tennessee (with milder weather and 4 seasons), I wanted to revisit the supercharger dream.
From those who are living the SC...
I've been searching for a while trying to determine size and pitch of the knuckle stud (knuckle side) for my 97 LX450 and I've narrowed it down to this info from Cruiser Outfitters - http://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/tech_front_axle.html (thanks BTW!). **EDIT** - I suspect the 80 is the Large...
I was running 2x Samsung Tab E tablets, one bloated and died and the other is slower than ever. I have been running Gaia on them. I need a new nav system and was wondering what everyone is running. Leaning towards staying with an Android tablet with Gaia...if I can find a fast & cheap tablet.
Help! I'm buying Redline oil for the front and rear axles (non-locking open) and can't remember what I put in there a few years ago. In addition, I don't recall the Non-Limited Slip version existing before. I know the Transfer case takes 75w90 but given the 90 requirement for the axles should...
Here's a few things that came in handy during a trail breakdown yesterday wherein 3x passenger lower trunion bolts sheared off, disabling one rig. Most people carry some of this stuff and fortunately, when everyone dug through their tool boxes, we had it all as a group. I decided to add a few...

I have a TN law question about lighting. I'm cross-posting in the Lighting and 80-Series Tech forums. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
The back roads are DARK here and all 3x of our cars could use some low beam/ditch enhancements. I'm considering a wide fog beam auxiliary light...

I have both but my CB doesn't get used much and it's only good for about 1 mile given where I have the antenna attached. I'm running a Baofeng UV-5R and have a HAM license (most guys in the AZ club went HAM running on frequency 146.460). I don't use it much outside of trail runs and it's still...
I'm coming into the area soon from Phoenix and was looking for someplace that runs IPSC and Steel matches. We are moving to Loudon at the end of this month. I was a very active IPSC and Steel shooter at Rio Salado Sportsman Club here in AZ up to about 2010 but took a break to raise kids and...
I need some input on setting up a TEMPORARY inverter setup. Any feedback is welcome.
I need to run a 2500w inverter at the rear of a pickup to power a 5000BTU Air Conditioner just 3x days as I drive cross country. The AC load is 5A peak, about 1A continuous @ 120V. It's time to order wire...
I really like the way Toyota thinks and wish I knew some things earlier.
I just read another thread (80 series full size spare tool bolt size) and saw a post from @richardlillard1 nothing that the OEM Jack Handle is actually a 12mm square wrench (the area where the wing nut is to secure it to...
