    Custom Coil Springs

    Thanks for the lead. The current stock springs are about 800 lb/in and only 10" high. I'm thinking of trying something much softer, like 500 lb/in, but a little taller (abt 13") so the height at rest is a little higher than stock to allow a little more bump travel. Hopefully figure a way to...

    Custom Coil Springs

    After 15 years of offroading, we finally broke something serious on the mog - one of the front coils. After reading up on suspension theory over on Pirate, I'm convinced I want to play with the spring rates to improve the ride. I have all the spring specs from Mercedes and nothing is quite...

    Considering selling my GMC...

    Some people may not get it, but anything under $5k for a TDI in good running condition is a bargain IMO.

    Considering selling my GMC...

    Moved to a 2 TDI family, huh? I've contemplated that move many times. My 02 Jetta TDI is my DD, but whenever anyone in the family wants to drive a ways, they want the TDI. It just feels good being able to drive to St George and back on a single fillup. Do you mind revealing what you had to...

    Left knee telling me get a slushy

    700R4 couldn't even handle an anemic small block in the early days. Over the years, they were improved enough to handle most small blocks. I wouldn't ever put one behind a big block. On the knee, don't give up hope. There are several knee ailments that respond well to PT.

    Truck will not start all of a sudden

    Not likely - A bad solenoid is most likely to not draw enough power. The most likely cause with smoke is a bad connection. Most likely causes for bad connection are corrosion, loose connection, or bad cable.

    Never seen this style of driving.

    The way the rig bounces around makes me wonder how aired up the tires are.

    Quickest way to get to the Golden Crack

    I'd say Gold Bar is slightly harder than the rest of the spike, not much though. Seriously, someone estimated 11 hours??? Maybe behind an official Jeep Safari group.

    Land slide at Kennecott's Bingham Canyon mine

    It would've been pretty exciting to be working in that shop at the time of the slide!

    steel cojones

    I know a guy who has raced this a couple of times - He take the risk in stride just like any other race. I've always wanted to just go watch it - that would be dangerous enough for me.

    Front brake locked up, I'm stumped

    I'd agree that the master cylinder isn't releasing back to the point of letting fluid flow freely back into the reservoir. Maybe caused by bent lever or connection mechanism or something??? Could just be an adjustment at the master cyl also.

    the highs and lows of prepping for Moab

    The towing mode isn't for economy, it is to save your tranny. Overdrive is pretty weak and builds a lot of heat, where drive is direct, so it should be the strongest gear with the least friction (less friction = less heat).

    Google Glass

    Its just a tool like any other. $1500 today means that in 10 years it will cost the equivalent of $20 - within the reach of everyone. It was the same with the walkman, then the iPod, then smart phone, then mifi, tablet, etc, etc, etc. We will work through the privacy issues, just as we are...

    10 Magpul P-mags for $100 shipped.

    That's exactly why I ordered from them. I was on back order for a few weeks and then released and promptly shipped. Good communication through the whole process.
