Editorial Review ::

"Pickup" and "sports utility vehicle" seem like quaint names for these workhorses. More and more, theyre what people tune up, trick out, and take on the road (or off).

This book aims to help drivers make the most of their machines. With 101 projects running the gamut from installing light bars and brush guards to gearing up for hard-core horsepower and high-performance feats, this book will show truck and SUV owners of all stripes how to personalize their rides. 101 Performance Projects for Your Pickup and SUV offers easy-to-follow, clearly illustrated how-to information on everything from appearance modifications to more extensive upgrades, with plenty of instructions for the many bolt-on solutions that are available in the marketplace. Planning, tools, expenses, pros, and cons: its all here.

The author walks owners through the nuts and bolts of lowering and lift kits, running boards and in-car entertainment systems, winches, wheels and tires, and the full range of installations and accessories that will take a truck or an SUV to the next level.

lift took about 20 hours to install, directions were kinda crappy. after installing truck drives nicer than it did before, istallation wasnt that hard we just ran into a few problems, had to torch bed mounting bolts, had the drivers side core support mount bolt seize up in the bushing so we had to grid and pry it out, kit comes with all extensions needed, bumper brackets make it hard to get the bumpers on, we had to fight with the front bumper to get it straight and we didnt have to trim the frame like directions say, also there is no need to undo any transmission cooling lines or take the radiator out or the fan shroud off. this was the first body lift i and my brother and friend have ever done, great learning experience. make sure you use the right sockets to get the cab mounts off, they are in mm and the bed mounts need i think a T-30 or bigger torx bit to get them off.

Peak Performances Volume 2

Reviewed by A. Cohen on 2010-02-11  •  Reviews (10)  •  Read Full Review

Having listened to the dvd on the radio during the holiday season, I decided to make the purchase, as proceeds go to charity, in particular, the Sidewalk Angels Foundation, which was instrumental in assisting Pets Alive, a sanctuary in NY for abandoned pets. The music was varied in terms of artists. I have this dvd installed in my car.

Editorial Review :: The Peak Performance Series puts young artists in a world-class recording studio with Grammy award-winning producer Peter Denenberg. The live session is recorded and then played back on the radio at 107.1 The Peak in New York's backyard and online at www.1071thepeak.com.  At the end of the year the Peak compiles some of the best performances on a CD for charity. This year, the proceeds from the sale of Peak Performances Volume 2 benefit the Food Bank for Westchester and the Sidewalk Angels Foundation.

Toyota MR2 Performance HP1553: A Practical Owner's Guide for Everyday Maintenance, Upgrades and PerformanceModifications. Covers 1985-2005, All Makes and Models

Reviewed by David S. Goodman on 2010-02-08  •  Reviews (3)  •  Read Full Review

Excellent book with a lot of general information, and choice specific information. The book was obviously written for the average MR2 owner wanting to increase the performance of their MR2, while also learning a lot of new information (I never knew 93 turbo hardtop MR2s were so rare, nor that the best way to differentiate early 4A-GEs is not by the color of the lettering on the valve color, but by the number of ribs on the block.) While the book does focus on the MkII, there is more than enough general MR2 information to make this a worthwhile purchase for anyone interested in MR2s--or sports cars in general--whether you own one or not.

A complete owner's guide for owners and enthusiasts of Toyota's MR2, one of the most successful mid-engined sports cars ever built. Includes: History, sales and model year details; OEM Maintenance and Repairs; Chassis, Brake & Suspension Upgrades; Engine Bolt-On Modifications; Racing Your MR2; Safety; and "staged" combinations to build MR2s for any high-performance use, from mild street to autocrossing and road racing.
