    Nerf bars??

    I think thats the right term. I need to put some on my Tundra to help my wife get in and out a little easier. Will they do the trick? Anything to look out for or are they just pretty much like running boards?

    Yahoo groups or other???

    Can a Yahoo group or perhaps some other place be set up for certain people for a certain subject. Can they be moderated? How about having to have a password to get in it?

    What do you do to save gas?

    Here is what I've come up with so far. Be sure tires are inflated to max as written on side of tire. If you look ahead and see that you are going to have to stop, take your foot off the gas and coast till you have to hit the breaks. Saves wear and tear on the brakes too. Keep a clean air...
