    Today I Want This....

    If that price sells, I've got a 12 valve second gen for sale.... DAMN!

    The tow rig stereo thread

    @Cody - several months later, your reply has been in my head every time my stereo made a noise that it shouldn't have... I took advantage of the slightly cooler temps over the weekend to dig into the stereo again. I adjusted the gain all the way down on all channels, and spent a little time...

    Vehicle Tracker?

    A lot of dealerships are adding these as an upsell anti theft. They do work well for their intended purpose, but the agreements with the anti theft companies often make the device itself so cheap to the dealership that if a customer doesn't want to pay the fee, they leave the device in the car...

    What are you listening to?

    A friend sent me this last night... HUGE talent. I can't believe I wasn't already listening to these guys. It's like freeform Jazz and Metal had some kind of a bizarre double 8 string love child - and I'm totally into it.

    Today I Want This....

    I asked the same question of someone that did a suburban restoration - turns out there's no fourth door, and no fourth door frame, and they are different enough that only a handful of people have ever made a fourth door. You can't just buy a door shell and cab panel from LMC truck for the...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Nothing super technical, but I installed one of these: Really looking forward to not having a bed full of leaves this fall, and not having a bed full of snow this winter. I need to add a power lock to the tailgate, and I can start on a roll out toolbox and some other in bed goodies I've had...

    Your Pic of The Day

    I've got a clear favorite picture today... my best friend's dad was the original owner of my ram... and while Sam was going through some old boxes and photos, he found a baby picture - The day it came home from the dealership, brand new. I kind of dig having a baby pic of my truck.

    Spotted

    Lots of them were T top. I'd love an old brat with a more modern boxer powertrain. I probably wouldn't fit in it, being a fat bastard, but it'd be neat.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    My Saturday was spend replacing valve cover gaskets, adjusting valve lash, an oil change, and just a little bit of vanity. The beauty cover had been painted by the original owner of the truck, but it had been neglected in recent years and the exposed aluminum was pretty pitted and tarnished...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Not big or exciting, but it'll add a lot of comfort on my drive home today - As it got warmer I noticed that my AC was only blowing out of the dash vents in my Ram. It wasn't hard to find the two culprits, this one was the worst: A few dollars at Autozone replace this and the two couplers at...

    Stupid idea (SxS Portal hubs on a car)

    I had this pipe dream pertaining to a couple of subaru cars I had - my 05 outback sedan, and my 19 crosstrek. I imagined how great it would be to get some lift, some gear reduction to compensate for a 31 or 32" tire and all that extra clearance. I've seen the werewold portals from Ukraine...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Not exactly today, but on the 18th I drove to get some railroad ties at CalRanch (which I know about thanks to RME) - FYI, CalRanch is about $5 more per tie the the orange and blue stores, but they have them in stock in mid Feb, and the other guys don't... but it was a warm before the storm...

    What are you listening to?

    I came here to share this song... I can't get enough of it. I love split personality songs, like 12 Foot Ninja stuff. It's like the band says "What genre are we focusing on?" and the answer is "YES".

    Lighten the mood

    I can smell the offgassing from the tupperware plastic of that bowl.

    The tow rig stereo thread

    Relevant, but not brand specific info inbound. One of my requirements when I got my ram was that it have bluetooth for music and calls, I frequently get calls after I drop my youngest off for school in the mornings, so it was almost a safety feature for me. I also had a problem of one of...

    Duck Jeep? WTF??

    Heh... Count Quackula.

    You did what with a hammer?!?!

    Don't try that trick on a crap anvil... you'll be smacking the steel till your arm falls off, and then notice a deformation in your anvil under the little steel rod. And that's how I learned I had a crap anvil.

    Subaru Outbacks

    And I'll also chew on my words, since the dual Xmode was introduced on the Fozzy sport. Looks like the wilderness is the first one to get the higher speed stuff package, but it seems it maybe just turns itself back on when you slow down? Might be only the outback wilderness that has the nigh...

    Subaru Outbacks

    Oh, you made the right call for sure. I've got the 2.4 platform in my wife's Ascent and it's been great. As far as challenging the resident Subaru master, sure, I'm in. I do enjoy stirring the occasional pot. TurboMinivan is absolutely correct about the functions of Xmode, but the Onyx...

    Subaru Outbacks

    Not anymore tho... the Wilderness dual mode Xmode stays active up to 45MPH (pretty sure on that - from memory), and has a "Deep snow and Mud" setting with more aggressive wheel spin and stability maps to facilitate clearing tread via additional wheelspin.
