    Today I Want This....

    $5,000 more than I’d spend, but this with a built TDI and some boxed IFS arms with RCV’s…….🤓

    Smoked Meat is Awesome!

    Is the 160° the temp which you’re you going to cube it? I’ve done these before, but I cubed before I even started the smoker. Curious how they turn out!

    Today I Want This....

    Good to know. I had asked the local guy I've been taking my stuff to because I was considering a TDI swap in my XL7, but figured if I was going to fail and was impossible to register, there wouldn't be much point to doing the swap, as I'm too lazy to register out of county. I figured, worst case...

    Today I Want This....

    I asked my local emissions guy and he told me that anything diesel from 1998-06 gets a visual that ensures any factory emissions parts like a catalytic and EGR are in place. Are other stations more lenient?

    Insurance Home/Auto/Etc. Who do you like?

    Well crap….sounds like I’m screwed either way 😂 Guess I’ll attempt to shop around, see if it’s worth jumping around at all. Thanks guys.

    Insurance Home/Auto/Etc. Who do you like?

    My safeco policy just auto renewed, I have a 2016 Kia Sedona with full coverage, and a 2006 Yukon with liability only. Previously paying $175/month, and when it auto renewed, it jumped to $241/ month. To me that seems way excessive, especially since the only claim I've had in the past 12 years...

    Is it ok to have a "make light of" thread?

    Poor cows. Anybody that knows anything would know they just thought they were going to get some feed or cuddles.

    I thought that was part of the joke 😂

    On the topic of mustangs, a guy back in Nebraska local to me built this way back when, in 2013. I remember at the time it was all the rage. To me, it strongly resembles what the new mustangs these days look like. It's a mix of a '68/'69 and a 2011.

    Custom body swap project? Kinda intrigued.

    Not like it’s plastered right across the hood or anything!

    Suzuki XL-7 build- “XL7-UP”

    Noticeable track width increase when viewed from above. Can also see axle centerline is pushed slightly forward. A little hard to see from the pic, but can tell overall. Side with new arm installed: Side with OEM arm still installed:

    Suzuki XL-7 build- “XL7-UP”

    More test fitting. I will probably need a drop puck for the strut tower mount. Strut is my limiting factor right now for down travel, up travel is about spot on compared to stock. I need to drop my coils in next to see if they’ll even work. They are from a 2wd 2nd gen Tacoma IIRC. 45lbs more...

    The “200 sq ft” max “shed” build

    Drill pipe? Thats what I’ve been eyeing to use if I end up building this myself.

    Suzuki XL-7 build- “XL7-UP”

    Tried to do a test fit of my arms before moving any more forward. Today I learned a valuable lesson: NEVER build a jig off a specific part that hasn’t been tested on the vehicle. I built the jig for the new arms off these Amazon OE style units. Found out that they are waaay off. To remedy...

    For Sale AX15 from a XJ

    Starting at $500 seems fair, I sold my internal slave AX15 for $400 last year. The externals are definitely more desirable. Just my unsolicited two cents 👍

    The “200 sq ft” max “shed” build

    Tracked down a 20x10 shed I'm trying to score cheap. Been sitting behind one of the campuses at work, but doesn't belong to MTECH, it belongs to the private school next door, yet it's on our property for some reason. We are going to be fencing off this area, so it has to be moved pretty much...

    Get your dumpsters here!

    I'm curious what your current rates are, and roughly where you're based out of. I would try to break down your MPG loaded/unloaded and your time driven, to decide what is your minimum profit margin line. Then, once you do that, figure out a per mile extra charge, that you can charge, if the...

    Shade sails

    Those are sweet! Would love to have a couple of those for my backyard. Sorry I can't suggest anything useful, just want to say they're cool. Edit: Did a little more reading of your original post. If I did it, I would pull down the soffit in the areas you're looking to mount to, screw up a...

    Lighten the mood

    Im ashamed to say I grew up thinking Utah was pretty much just a flat desert, with no mountains. Also, I had no idea at all about Mormons being headquartered here. Found all this out at the age of 19, and more when I visited for the first time.
