Love the rear bumper build Dan!

I'm in. :pop2:

Every cloud, etc. :) Srs doe, glad to see you both got out in one piece. And re: the beer smell, I recall a time when a friend of mine who worked at an Aston Martin dealer got a call to fly to France and bring back a customers car to the UK. The customer had a barely road-legal racer which...

I've had spacers on mine for over a year and 30k miles. No bearing or suspension issues. I did expect, and have, rubbing issues on the front which were resolved by hammering the welds flat at the body end of the arch and clipping away some of the inner liner at the front end. It also made very...

Changed image hosting. Is that better?

Here's what I mean about the Surf back seats - when you pull the release knob up, it raises the inner teeth in the pic below so you can choose one of 3 positions for it to latch to (the seat is folded down in the pic): I dunno why my pics aren't being rendered here anymore. They used to work...

Are you sure? By recline, we mean there are a few different "Click points" for the angle of the rear seat-back when you lift the peg each side (not a massive degree of variation but they do technically "Recline").

I remember my spacers had a warning about the increased turning effect I may feel after fitting. I didn't feel anything to be honest. 30mm each side. I did fit a smaller Celica steering wheel and that has made the steering "Nimbler" in my opinion. I like it, the Mrs. preferred the old "Bus"...

This setup has been perfect for me. I have it at about 1 o'clock and a couple of inches back from the wheel rim (we are RHD, so it's next to the A-pillar). I wanted it at this height so I wouldn't need to take my hand too far off the wheel or look down, since most of my driving is in traffic...

Jump leads Four wooly hats for all the fam Gloves for all the fam Hi-Viz reflective bib I have 2 x 12v cig lighter ports in the inner wall facing the cabin, so got a wifi hotspot plugged into one (kids have wifi tablets) and the other runs the cool box. Wanted them inside the panel so that the...

I stick 120 miles a day on my 96 Surf. I could get a smaller, more economical vehicle, but I am a regular mountain biker and we camp in the Summer. The wife has an Audi cab so the Surf is ideal for the day-to-day. The diesel does about 30mpg. I don't owe anything on it. What has gone wrong...

Well, you do live in an underground, Faraday-caged, fully-cammoed bunker. Or may as well do. You need a 200ft mast with a Toyota flag on it :D

Yeah, I don't have the high-beam dash light come on anymore since going with the projectors. To be honest, you know when they are on, other road users will also tell you :D

I have something like this, as my head unit has AUX in but no native Bluetooth. Plugged straight into AUX with one of these: Works fine.
