Hey, everyone!! Just got back from Hawaii doing some camera reseach. I did get a chance to test out some of our new gadgets that will be coming online soon from plx devices.

I got to test their IMFD units and the plx R800 datalogger.

We got to race around at low and very high altitudes both and just see how these little wonders worked. They are a great addition if you want to know when your toy can drop your competition in the dust. Or you can always of course do what my dumb little racer , in the tricked srx did. He had the typical guages and the porsche i was driving had the plx goodies. needless to say , it was awsome to see the blue hues of his engine when it blew a rod.

You have got to invest in the safety of your investment and the best i have seen so far is the plx devices.

hell, don't take my word for it, check out the link on the recent article on them. click on the plx picture in this article.

I will be getting some photosd to post on here in the next few days of the trip.

N.N.

Just like the "Tonka" trucks, Hummers will not die. They will just hold more passengers.

There is tons of crap all over the air waves and on little tv clips that hummers are over.

"GM in talks about selling or discontinuing hummer line". Yeah, right! if you had something that sold for a great deal of money and the customer never had problems with and was happy as heck over it, would you get rid of it? Didn't think you would.

Some people are too young to remember the gas crunch of the late 70's, but i was a kid and do remember what was being said and forecasted.
Trucks were going to be burned in junk yard and volkswagen would take over the automotive usa.
Sorry, but if anyone noticed, the SUV was created in the 1980's. We are at a crossroads right now, as we have been before. so for those individuals that own a pre- 2008 hummer and still need extra seats or other goodies to make their "real life" Tonka trucks better, then contact us at needfultoyz. Check out the video and see how relaxing it can be to play with a tonka. Try that with a sirus.

Back from the Brink!!!

Needful Nick here. Wow. What a year it has been so far!

I have gone through it believe me. I can't say hell on here so i won't.

Anyways, i figured i would take a few moments to talk to everyone here about a couple of new toyz we are coming out with.

First is the PLX devices DM 100 OBD II. first of all, here is a great link to an article from plx on the DM 100 OBD II, DM 100 OBD II, now i will blab on here about some of the things i liked about it.

This guage is great. It is similar to the DM 200 OBD II unit but it is a little less expensive and is great for the person not needing all the bells and whistles.

When you are hungry for a quarter pounder, you do not need to buy the big mac, right?

This little baby is great, it can monitor your read outs and download to a computer to enable you to analyze the way your car is running.

It is litterally like driving with a machine similar to othe really expensive snap on tools modis analyzer that costs about $8000.00

Most of us don't the cash for that and don't need something over the top either.

The DM 100 OBD II is inexpensive and allows you to tune your car by the readings you get just by plugging in the OBD II port to your car. If you have a car that is 1996 or newer, then it will pop right on. This little baby is going to be ready for purchase at the end of July 2008.

Then i got to play with the new toy coming at the end of the month as well from PLX, the imfd datalogger. All i can say is that this thing is litterally like having a DYNO in your car.

I think you could probably run a dyno business with this baby.

These items are great and from what i was told, after they stopped yelling at me for breaking it by dunking it in water LOL, these babies will be available the first of this august and the prices are going to be freaking Crazy low. They got some great deal or something like a sister dating an owner thing between the two companies. Not sure, it just means low prices!!!

Well i am off to go piss off my bosses again today so i will see you folks & strokes next week.

Needful Nick.

A blast from the Past to remind us why we Need the New Blinder M25 with "j15"technology!!

It has been way too long since i have posted anything new here but i do apologize for the absence. I went off to serve my country. I am back and ready to roll.

I thought i would use an old school video to make my point here about the need for the Blinder M25. Come on, Sammy can still wail.

With the new "J15" technology, the new blinders that we carry here at needfultoyz.com are the best in years.

The the new design helps ensure that you will not be able to be recorded on a laser radar gun.

So sit back and watch the video and the great song but remember that we are selling the m25 blinder for the best prices and we give free shipping when you buy one. if you buy the M25 alone, we ship it to you for free?! Talk about needfultoyz paying for your gas.

I will be writing tomorrow about our combo that is new for bikes.

Mio GPS on the Hot Track

Thought i would share this news story with our readers of Needful Toyz News! Soon you will have the top GPS Navigation units from http://www.needfultoyz.com/

Mio, Qualcomm Join For Cell PNDs
By Amy Gilroy -- TWICE, 1/30/2008 8:07:00 AM

ALSO BY THIS AUTHOR...

Taipei, Taiwan — GPS maker Mio Technology and Qualcomm today announced the joint development of cellular-connected personal navigation devices (PNDs).
The new PNDs will use Qualcomms’ QST1100 chipset for cellular connections to real-time traffic updates, voice-call capabilities and other functions.
"Mio is proud to be one of the first companies to offer the connectivity of cellular networks to PND users, making information access seamless and reliable," said Samuel Wang, president of Mio.
Mio said it will offer consumers a PND that goes beyond traditional point-to-point navigation, and will allow search capabilities. It did not specify exact search or other capabilities.
Mio is ranked the fourth leading PND maker in the United States behind Garmin, TomTom and Magellan, according to The NPD Group.
The QST1100 is the first chipset to integrate GPS, cellular connectivity and application processing, said Qualcomm.

Is there an ultimate SUV beyond the hummer?

As you know, needfultoyz is the home for the hummer third seats. We are where you can get the lowest prices for the best vinyl or leather thrid row seats for your h2 or h3 hummer.
I was sitting back and doing some reading over the weekend and thought about how our customers are always looking for the ultimate in "pimping" thier SUV and making it the ultimate in smooth looking and yet aggressive enough to still tackle and conqure the off road challenges.
Please we have all seen tons of escalades and navigators and even some hummers that have never and will never see the dirt or anything rockier than the driveway or possibly the soccer field parking lot.
With this thought in mind i went out looking for the ultimate off road machine that was still comfortable and had all the luxury items that a hummer,escalade, or navigator would have from leather interior to carbon fibre body mouldings to gps systems and pimpin sound system and yet survive the worst off road environments and not be stopped.
Now one guideline for such a classified beast would be that it could NOT be a concept vehicle. This vehicle had to be manufactured currently, none of those show vehicle trailer queens. It had to be something you could buy and finance from a new vehicle lot. Also it had to have cup holders.
I finally came across, after searching world wide this video of a certified beauty.
This vehicle fit every requirement and was pimped out.
True i do not think that needfultoyz.com will be carrying any extra third row seats for sale on this unit, but that was not the intention of my search.
As i see it from my research so far, this vehicle is the ultimate purchasable off road vehicle.

A great orginization providing a wonderful service!!!

Hello to everyone out there in cyber. As you can see the logo to

the right of these words, i am really impressed by this site. I was a mechanic for years while i was going to college and i remember very definitley how some guys i worked with and even some shop owners would treat women customers. I personally never agreed with it and in some cases i even had been fired for standing up for my beliefs, i was ok with that. You know the saying, "i was looking for a job when i found this one."

This site was brought to my attention this morning by our CEO as he was impressed by the article i linked here about vehicle backing up safety and kids.

We talk on here and write about new gizmos and products for cars trucks and suv's but there is nothing more important than the safety of a child.

This is a real personal issue to me. As a ex police officer i have seen too many kids hurt or worst yet, die to due to someone backing up and just not seeing what was in their blind spot.

I also know what it is like to have a child die before a parent.

The people at this site are doing a great job and really care enough to get the word out.

Giving the fact that there is good mechanical advice that is written and set up from a womans perspective, and we are wired differently without a doubt. I hear things totally differnet than the woman in my life and it is not always the smartest way.

So i tip my beanie to the women and guys at ask patty.

We at needfultoyz.com sell the units the article writes about because we believe in keepin the little ones safe and running. so check us out to get one for your family.

Nick.
