  1. If the road trip was worthwhile and the company was good, How the music was played and the sound quality were a very small part of the road trip experience!! mrtn I still have an 8 track and a recorder if you ever need to experience what you missed.!

  2. Brings back memories for sure! - I cut a hole under the dash of my '58 Corvette to install an 8 track tape player . . . . sure wouldn't do that again today!! In my defense, this was in 1967 and I cut the hole on the underside of the center overhang where the rear view mirror is mounted. You couldn't see the 8 track at all tucked up in there unless you bent over and looked up at it. Oh, and I should probably mention - I paid $650 for the Corvette, put a new battery in it and drove it home. It had been stored for 2 years in a lady's back yard while her son was overseas in the Army. He quit sending Mom the money to make the payments and since the title was in her name, she sold me the car for what was owed on it just to make the payments go away Don

    Automotive LED Applications

    Yah, I've had good luck with them too. Aside from the automotive stuff, I also used some automotive products to create lighted crafts that I sold. I have since stopped creating them. My last creation was a uv angel eye that I used to effects light a mid-century french crystal chicken that I dubbed The Fukushima Chicken. Here is a mid-century depression glass eagle on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7XJLTmR3QI

  4. I used to buy component LEDs from them back around 2008 or so when the only way to get a really bright LED flashlight was to build one. Never had a problem back then and the LEDs were good quality.

  5. When I was researching my 2015 TC purchase I saw mention of removable seats in the online manual. After I ended up buying a LWB wagon, I was surprised when I saw no way to just pop out the seats. It turns out only the short wheel base 5 passenger version has the removable 2nd row seats. However, I decided to remove the seats in my wagon anyway to install the seat covers. Each seat is held in with four T50 bolts and only takes a few minutes to remove. The 3rd row seats have the bolts at each corner of the seat frame and you do need to slide the seat forward and back to access each set of two. The second row seats have pairs of bolts at the front end of each seat rail. These are easy to access with the seat unfolded. Once the bolts are removed it does take a little lifting and wiggling to break the seats loose because there are also locating posts on the bottom of the rails that fit into holes in the floor. But once these are popped out, the seats just lift out. With just myself, the wider part of the 2nd row was a bit heavy but the others were no problem. It is easier to lift out the 2nd row if you fold them flat after unbolting. In the end, I liked the extra space available with the seats out so decided to leave it that way since I rarely have more than one passenger. I've been slowly working on modifications over the last couple weeks making a flat load floor for the area and using the extra space for storage. I probably need to do a write up with photos to share the info.

  6. I've had great success in my past 3 vehicles with Ram Mounts, my TC needed it more than any other, you ain't kidding, no space available! This is the Ram Pod 1 Universal No drill with an X-grip, mounts to seat bolt and positions perfectly, the x grip will accommodate iphone 4 through iPhone 6 plus easily. Other manufacturers of course but I know for sure about Apple. Rotates sideways for GPS and landscape mode. http://www.rammount.com/images/rec/RAM-B-316-1U-10.jpg Best prices on Amazon To mmontminy, very nice find on that panavise mount, thank you. Also the Ram Mount suction cups are the best I've ever found,they just won't fall.
