    Off road trailer build

    Electric brakes are super simple...much more simple than designing your own setup. Also don't bother with the pinion alternator just run a 7-pin plug and charge the trailer from the vehicle alternator as it appears your upgraded alternator is up to the task. Chuck the sammy axle and get a used...

    XJ in a bad way

    Get the plate number or VIN and report it to the Sheriff. It might be stolen, either way whomever owns it needs to get their junk off the mountain.

    Ethanol free gas?

    AV fuel is generally not mixed with ethanol as it is a water attractant and that is bad joo-joo for airplanes, especially ones that are parked long term. Guys that build planes that can run on automotive fuel have to be particularly mindful of storing their planes with tanks full of auto gas...

    Obama got Osama...

    I personally don't care...my life is no different the day before he was killed than it was the day after. His death means nothing other than a note on some folks resume. Apply Occam's Razor...the guy is fish food. The risk of claiming Osama is dead and then him popping up on youtube flipping...

    WOW

    Watching a soccer mom unload a couple PWCs on a boat ramp with a front wheel drive minivan was hilarious...she roasted those tires for 10 minutes on the mossy ramp before we went and drug her out. I agree...a cooler full of beer and a lawn chair on a boat ramp is all the entertainment I need!!

    Thoughts on Dodge V10s

    I did a lot of towing with one in 2009 back and forth to lake powell for a dive company...we got between 5-7mpg and it ate 2nd gear in the auto tranny. It was full of vacuum leaks and I couldn't keep the vacuum actuated vents to do what I wanted half the time. The motor itself seemed ok but the...

    Ford does the same thing with their TTB front suspensions...torch, hammer, air chisel...the works. I did my original lift on my exploder about ten years ago in a truck stop mechanic shop with all the super duper tools I could handle...it was nice with the right tools.

    Suzuki Samurai questions?

    I think they started in '86 or '87 but I'm not sure. You want EFI if you can find it but they are hard to come by. The EFI models hit after the whole "These things roll over at the drop of a hat" so sales were super low and production was low. Finding a hardtop that is square is sometimes...
