My ham callsign is on my Toyota FJ. This one got a Masonic plate.

Another cot-tent solution.

I just checked, and I get 33.7. I have the hybrid and normally use economy mode, and I drive like an old man. I keep fuel and mileage records. The dash reading is very optimistic

Here is my DIY camper, but it only works for one.

Question: Would it be solid enough to drill into and mount antennas with? I have been working on an antenna mount as seen below. I know Larson makes one, but I am not going to pay almost three hundred dollars (after shipping) for a piece of folded metal. If your design would allow a piece of...

As I recall, it is for duplicating the key, and more importantly, starting the car if the battery in the keyfob is dead.

I have one very similar that I got from AliExpress. No, it can not be lifted out as it is an odd trapazoid shape. There is a problem though. I didn't think about it when I put mine in. That rectangle at the bottom of the console has a purpose. With the vault it is now covered. There needs to...

The "Tent Camper" worked out pretty well for a trip to Northern California last week. These are a couple of the views from waking up.

I added my "Camper."

Today, I worked on my 3d-printed auxiliary antenna mount. It is so close, but still not there.

The trouble is that superglue doesn't hold for long. It won't even hold LEGO bricks together for more than a week or so. Yes, there are some specialised superglue formulations However, I have also seen the specialised formulations frequently fail. Superglue is a good product, and it is...

I placed an order for the "Original." When it gets here, I will work on some sort of support for it.

In a nutshell, Regular or oversized? First, the plan is to use it in the bed of the truck, raised up on a couple of 2x12s so that the ends will clear the bed edges. As far as users, it would just be me and a dog. I was looking at the "Original" primarily because it does not require supports...

I am going to join in with the others who are saying the EV Coach. It makes for a fun way to gamify my drive. Beyond that, the adaptive cruise control. It is the first vehicle that I have had with it. It just make the drive a little bit less stressful.

There are a lot of road conditions where it does refuse to engage, or disengages if it is in use.

I can understand why Ford made the decision to disable lane centring with a trailer attached. I spend a lot of time on 2-lane highways. On those highways, there are predictable road conditions where the Maverick wallows drunkenly, looking for its lane markers. If that were to happen with a...

Today, I took a heat gun and got rid of the dealership's sticker. I also installed the plastic things that seem to pass for mudflaps. I had a little time yesterday too, I used that to install a centre lock box.

Mine looks like this: It looks wrong. I was planning to take it in as a warranty issue, but it appears that now I need to wait for the recall.
