    Help me find the next vehicle for my wife...

    What year RAV4? My wife bought a '13 Outback last year and my mom bought a '10 RAV4. I was pushing for the RAV4 V6 for my wife, but she really preferred the Outback after driving both. My wife loves her Outback. My mom loves her RAV4. I think the AWD system in the Outback is more...

    Sunday afternoon riddle: 7.3 randomly dies.

    Update: It was the solenoid on the IPR. In the process of figuring it out, I gathered all the sensors (ICP, IPR, etc) that it could be and waited for it to die, and then started with the easy ones. The IPR solenoid was the second thing I tried. Installed the stage 2 intake and EGT issues...

    help me brainstorm what to get for my next vehicle

    A coworker has one of those with the TRD package. He loves the truck. I thought about Steve when I pulled in today and saw the truck.

    help me brainstorm what to get for my next vehicle

    You should drive some vans. I think that you would be underwhelmed. My neighbor likes his Honda Ridgeline car/truck thing...but he uses a bike rack rather than sticking them in the back. I'd take my wife's Outback over it though. Or my F150 (see other post). We have two new Chev 1500's at...

    help me brainstorm what to get for my next vehicle

    LOVE my '08 F150 Supercrew work truck. 90mph across Nevada all day long. Literally. 15mpg though when I'm doing that. Ground clearance has never been an issue, running the stock 32" tires. 160k miles, no issues since I got it at 70k, previous driver (same company) had no issues either. We...

    CJ-7 Build Not a buggy, still a Jeep

    Whatever you do, REINFORCE THE FRAME!!! Plate down the inside while you are doing the mods. Go auto, and BIG radiator. I love my 465 for nostalgia and most of what I do, but if I were doing another one, especially for crawling, I'd go slush.

    PM sent. What are the differences between '89 and '90 in the 2.5?

    A dead 2.5 is what triggered the original freakshow swap. And I think a purchase of a Chev pickup.

    Oof! $1000 for a 2.5 with 70k miles. Nothing on KSL but 4.0's for $300 or less.

    Maverick's kid's YJ build

    Thanks! There does appear to be a massive vacuum leak. But it gets worse. Radiator leak. AND...Oil in the coolant, coolant in the oil. Anyone have a 2.5 for a '90 YJ sitting around? I've thought a lot about going with a 5.3 backed by an 8.8, or even TBI350 & tons, etc, etc but that's just...

    Maverick's kid's YJ build

    After a while it started running crappy? Do you recall where the vacuum leak was? Is there something that opens when it's hot that has vacuum? I guess we let it get hot, run crappy, then do the usual stuff to find vacuum leaks (ie, spray flammable stuff and see if the engine revs up) Good...

    EGR? This just showed up over the weekend. It appeared after what I'm sure was some vigorous driving in AF Canyon and the tailpipe fell off behind the muffler.

    Maverick's kid's YJ build

    Holy cow! When it starts up, it runs fine, usual power. After 20 minutes, suddenly gutless. Let it cool for a bit, runs fine again. Is there anything that opens or closes or otherwise switches at a certain operating temp or period of time?

    Maverick's kid's YJ build

    Update: Super fun Jeep Safari and he's driving it all over. Craig Stitcher did the intake/exhaust gaskets right before EJS and it runs a LOT better (less crappy). Mileage improved from 10 to 15ish. He has a trailer hitch rack and is hauling his lawnmower and equipment around to the yards he...

    Seems like the KSL account gets it right. What a stud.

    Sacrificing your tow rig to protect the little ones

    Saw this last night. You can see in this vid (and from his account) that he was going to block the entrance. Seems like there was another video angle but I can't find it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qU58VfW3uQ
