I had one of those type of mountain bike crashes once, too. I still got a concussion even though I was wearing my helmet, and I am 100% certain I would have split my head open had I not been wearing it. Who else among us is still here thanks to their bike helmet?

I am posting from downtown Portland. Subaru flew me (and a co-worker) up here for a special 3-day training event on a new model. I've never been to Portland before now. I don't want to be rude, because I'm sure Portland was once a great place... but now it is a total dump. Tent living, trash...

The OEM crossbars are rated for 150 lbs, so you should be completely fine.

Yesterday was maintenance day for my Corvette--I drained its old coolant and refilled with new. While I was at it, I also performed a throttle body bypass, plus I replaced the stock 195^ thermostat with a 180^ one. All good stuff. The C4 has a quirk where guys have overheating issues only to...

Like many people who work in retail, it is true that I work every Saturday and thus my "weekend" is only one day long. In some ways, that's a bummer. On the plus side, I do get one weekday off (Thursday, in my case). In many ways, that's wonderful. So it all balances out in the end. And...

These suggestions are primarily just drives rather than destinations, and that's something I hadn't even considered until now. Hmm. While poking around on Google maps looking at southeastern Utah, I was reminded of the four corners monument, which came up in a recent family conversation. I've...

I would have been seriously tempted if they paid a dividend.

Not sure how I missed this thread, but wow--that truck looks awesome. Congrats!

I'd be interested in hearing about this.

My work is closed on July 4th. I knew it would be, but I hadn't actually looked at a July calendar until this afternoon... and that's when I saw the 4th is on a Monday this year. That means I have two sequential days off work--Sunday and Monday. I feel I should take advantage of this rare...

I use a c-clamp vice grip tool I bought just for this purpose decades ago. I'm sure it has a proper name; I just call it my caliper pliers.

Can confirm.

No, I don't. I don't even remember what specific piece rubs without the spacers. Like I said, I need to crawl back under there and take a photo.

I went outside at 10:30 last night to see if anything would materialize. Everything I read said there might be a meteor shower depending on the precise paths of both the Earth and the comet in question--there could be a dazzling show, but only if everything lined up perfectly. After 5 or 6...

Nice to see this thread pop up again. Since it was started, @UPNO4 has done this conversion to my TJ. In my case, I had to install 1.5" spacers up front--my (aftermarket) 15" wheels won't quite clear the new hardware. This bums me out, as I don't like running wheel spacers and I also don't...

I'll upvote this. I have visited Ely, and I did go on the historic train ride--I thought it was a neat glimpse into our country's past. As an added benefit that might appeal to the kiddos, they have these passport-like books (called "survival guides") for Highway 50 across Nevada. I believe...

I would be happy to see if I can get the right person involved in this. Text me 801-830-6512 and I'll see how I can help.

Oh, gee, thanks! I'll need to remember to remove it and bring it along.

Excellent! Speaking of helping others set up accounts, back in December I talked my fiancee into opening a Roth IRA in 2021, and she barely made the cut... on December 30th IIRC. She had no money to invest at that moment, but at least the account was created in that year. This gave us until...

For the record, the aluminum fender pictured is 9 years and 2 months old. I think the majority of the cracking was due to it being pushed outward from vehicle (tire) contact during loading and unloading. The other fender also has a crack or two, but they are much smaller and not yet any...
