100% pure painintheassium. Some of the shiniest oil I've seen in a long time

No, 164. Same engine, but front wheel drive sedan based off Saab 9000 platform. If you look up torque steer, this car is usually specifically mentioned.

I'd love to take my Alfa to Radwood. You don't get much more 80s than a wedge shaped sedan. I just wish they'd post up locations with a bit more lead time.

There was going to be a chain of Mahindra truck dealers in the US, but the guy leading it has a bit of a history with failing to follow through on importing interesting vehicles. Same guy was responsible for the failure of the Cross Lander 244x SUV (which I wanted in unbelievable ways).

I've seen it plenty in ID. I built my gooseneck with a heavy enough rear frame to handle a hitch, but wound up not installing one. I see a lot of bumper pull campers with smaller boats behind them.

Horrific vacuum system, emissions systems typical of mid malaise era, electrical system that Lucas would be proud of, all the build quality you can get in an ice fishing shed, and designed by sadists that speced everything to be behind razor sharp sheet metal with just enough room to not fit...

Plan A was to fry, but no money for the propane and oil. Plan B is a bacon weave and bake it.

Well there goes my dead cat swinging hobby. Honestly, it looks like they used all their ability to design curves on the first four models, now we're stuck with the leftover straight lines.

I am finally working on emptying out my box van, and I forgot just how much crap is in there. All stuff without listed price is for offer, keep in mind I am in Twin Falls so shipping or waiting for a trip will need to happen. Repair manuals for Velvet Drive Marine transmission, one for direct...

We have a mini red heeler that is pretty much my wife's dog, and a rescue mutt that I think is a white shepherd who is mostly mine. She very vocally demands her walk every day. My wife found her on Craigslist right before I went in for my surgery, she was starved, scared, missing a leg and...

When I first added the impeller extensions on my giant snowblower, it went from limply tossing the snow out the end of the chute to throwing about 20'. I just used some old spud conveyor belting.

How's the fluid level and condition?

No insult, but I'd just expect that a guy who does this professionally would use something that secured the strap, like a receiver shackle mount. It may take an extra three seconds to connect, but that would be less time than if the strap popped off the ball, and it would look more professional.

Beautiful scenery but that guy's techniques range from questionable to downright dangerous. Gunning it to yank a car out with a snatch strap just looped over the ball sort of stuff.

Hey, I did the tires and some of the brakes. It just needs front brakes, struts, control arms, coils and connectors, transmission, and now a rear diff.

Crushing torque is -usually- in the 200ft/lb range, so you should be able to safely go to 150ft/lbs without changing the preload.

One of the YouTuber richwheeler types (I mean, who brings a gourmet chef on an overland expedition?) runs these on a Gladiator. The 35x12.50R15 is on the shortlist of options for my Courier.

You can also get a Velcro split sheathing for welding cables. My last few harnesses I wrapped. The vehicles I work on have a braided nylon wrap on most of the harnesses, I have had a few rubbing issues with no external evidence. I ended up replacing a $900 engine harness due to the 5v system...

I wonder if you could use Google Trusted Contacts to do this? It does require a cell signal for comms, though.
