    Which REAL HID kit to get?

    I would recommend you be careful going the LED route. The lumen output is what's important and most LED lights really don't have impressive numbers. For reference, a 55 watt halogen low beam bulb is around 1200 lumens, and 65watt halogen high beam is about 1700 lumens, and 35 watt HID is around...

    lol ya sorry it was a good idea. I had just taken this pic of the moon the other day to see how far the zoom would go, so I wondered what joopiter would look like.

    My CNC drawing machine!

    Here's a bump for the thread... I sent Carl some .DXF files for flanges and he got them cut out of 1/4" stainless steel (which is a little trickier than mild steel) and with a little cleanup and they turned out great and helped the project turn out nicer! Thanks Carl Finish project:

    Multimeters

    I've wasted so much money on crap meters. Finally got the meter I wanted, a really nice used fluke 83v on ebay for $100. Shoulda got it a long time ago. If you just want to check your battery voltage or track down a short in crap wire then buy a $3 HF meter.

    Jeep New cold air intake design.... pros? cons? lets hear it...

    I really don't like the stovepipe look of how those things are built, why are they only using 1 mandrel bend? Also the tiny air filter is laughable. It's a decent idea if you must have a CAI but actually addressed some of the issues. It needs some sort of water dam on the inside of the cowl, cuz...

    Tig welder needed to fix front cover on 99' F-250

    I'll weld it if you can take the part off and it can be welded from the outside. I don't have a bore torch that will get it from the inside, not that I'd want to try that anyways. If your wanting to keep the job easy and not remove the part then I'd say just JB weld it. Aluminum castings being...

    sneaky spy shots of the new nodular Torq14

    That's pretty cool. So do you have to make your own axle tube/housing? or buy theirs? or does it fit a 9" housing?

    Rear bumper swing out tire carrier build

    I really like this design. $15 total cost for the hinge instead of like $100 for some machined nonsense with high speed bearings, and it's probably stronger too.

    which winch for a guy who doesn't like winches?

    My <$300 8000lb harborfreight winch has never let me down in it's 5 years of use, I'm glad I got it. I don't wheel alone either but it's still saved my aas a few times. I've ended up using it in several situations where I didn't think I'd ever need it. Get a synthetic rope though, dealing with a...

    Being injured SUCKS!!

    I somehow tore the bajesus out of my shoulder a year ago lifting my jeep top on. I was bed ridden for 2 weeks. The pain from the weight of my arm just hanging unsupported was absolutely unbearable for a month, and couldn't really move my arm for 2 or 3 months. My shoulder still doesn't have full...
