Have you priced out Toyota Land Cruisers/Lexus LX's?

They all look lower and more "street/road". I think my expy rides taller than others of the same year. I kind of like that. It is really nice for the fluffy stuff.

Papi doesn't do so well in most Japanese vehicles.

Though I like big SUVs I like them to be mildly capable on questionable dirt roads. And I know 3guys who work on American trucks for me for a song.

It would be really tough to pull me away from the 5.4 liter too.

Land Cruiser/LX's are more than "mildly" capable ;)

Does anyone know another word for thesaurus?

I LMAO

Yeah, movies. That's what it's called when the capture all the sensor in/outputs and programming. I would venture to say only a programmer could get around it or you pay off the diagnostic techs at the dealership and corporate.

No, only engineers can access movie data. This is done just in case someone tries to sue the manufacturer, as in the case of Toyota with their infamous "sticking throttles". As techs, we are only supplied a few frames of freeze frame data.

But yes, we can also read calibration data and do know if the brain had been flashed.

How about piggyback chips that are removed before bringing things in?

Nope. They distort incoming and outgoing data, they don't actually manipulate the brain itself. However by removing them all freezeframe data and code info is also lost since the brain is completely powered down (called a battery disconnect) so it is apparent to us that someone has manipulated the system.

Newer ECMs will retain information (dubbed mode $10) that can retain more info, but it is brand new and not widely available. I have heard about it and it has been touched on briefly in a class I went to recently, but it is so new and used so sparsely I am not really up to par with it yet. My understanding is it's depth and memory retention is quite vast, up to the past 50 drive cycles worth of retention.

FWIW with Euros not really digging the ODBII standards I don't expect them to be in the forefront of these technologies (mode $0X standards are US EPA based standards). Expect them in higher end domestics first.

Anyone have a link to a reasonably priced A/V switch that does standard VGA and HD Components? Need at least 3 inputs and HD component outputs. Remote function not needed, simple push button works.

You want analog in, digital out?

Have you checked monprice?

Monoprice FTW.

.....is the Lincoln navigator the same as an expedition? I'm finding them on craigslist for better prices than the expeditions and even screw f-150's. It's all the same frame and so same suspension etc etc.

They look good but if they are not as rugged I'll pass.

I went with a family member to buy their navigator. We asked the same thing. The salesman told us they are exactly the same SUV. There are just a few different upgrades on the navigator and they are all interior/creature comforts.

One of the older Land Cruisers with the straight-6 would be sweet!

Anyone familiar with xenon headlights? I have a small problem. After the car sits for a while one of the headlights won't start immediately after switched on. I have to switch multiple times between rear lights/headlights for it to start. Just annoying!

My next cooking venture is to get a good pizza dough down. I've been working on it for years but I still can't get it right. I also have never made my own pasta which I'm going to try soon.

I think I posted a pizza recipe on HAF

This is the yummmmmy you are looking for.

Play with the flour to adjust the crust to your taste. You will love it, I just hope you have a mixer with a dough hook.

Yeah I've got a good ole KitchenAid. I like a chewier crust so I'll be trying it with some bread flour to start. Hopefully I can use the recipe as a starting point and adjust it to my liking. If I get it down I might just have to find a better cooking method.

I bet it comes out great like that. Sadly the best that I have is an electric oven on 500 and a stone.

That is how I started using the oven. Then replaced the gas grill with an egg and cook everything on the egg. Hell the wife and kids love when I am cooking on the egg and that is awesome in my house.

That method works plenty good. Not as good as an Egg at 600 but still good :D
