One of the best things about when I was a bachelor, was being able to rebuild transfercases on my kitchen table. My wife would have me by the nuts if I did that now with the new table! My logic was simple, didn't have an enclosed or conditioned garage to work on them when it was cold, so I just...

Had my rear driveshaft retubed. Previously I had chopped it in the middle, shortened it, sleeved it, and plug welded it as a temporary shaft, so that I could hit a couple trails last year. No joke, it had about 3/4" of runout, it was awful. But it lasted enough to make it up to forest lake...

A lot of people flat tow. Although it works fine if you do it right, I still think a trailer is a better option in my opinion. You can back up a trailer if necessary, you can't exactly back a flat towed vehicle, at least not well. For my last cross country move, I bought a 24' trailer for $3k...

I’d rather have a J-3 cub over a jet like that any day though. Wish I was healthy enough to get my license. Eyesight isn’t good enough :( https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Single+Engine+Piston&make=PIPER&model=J-3+CUB&listing_id=2338336&s-type=aircraft

But...but....he SAID it was flying in 2008! Whole thing seems sketchy IMO. Could be a good piece for a children’s museum or something though as a piece of play equipment?

Not til just now, went back and looked again and see it now, that's interesting! I wish there was more pictures of the interior. For some reason I keep picturing in my mind that orange shag carpet from the 70's on the floor with some wood paneled walls and brown velvet chairs.

Maybe both? The next cheapest citation is still $400k. If you could score it for $60k even, and dumped another $100-$200k in it, could have a decent jet probably. I don’t have that kinda money, but I wish I did!

Saw this in Provo yesterday. RHD, and I think it was diesel, but couldn’t quite get close enough to hear for sure.

Camped up AF canyon a couple weeks ago at Granite Flats campground. Around 1:30 AM a bunch of motorcycles and SXS' came SHREDDING through the campground, woke up our entire group. Had I been up and out of the tent at the time, I would have been tempted to huck a few rocks at them. It's...

That sucks. I typically avoid national parks anyways because of how many people there is. I prefer to do some digging, and find back country that's just as pretty or even better than some national parks, then explore that, because there's typically less restrictions to do that too.

I've always wanted one of these little trucks, and to drop a VW TDI into one. I'm curious, how tall are you and how well do you fit into it?

Saw this swweeeet bread van RV and yota in Lava Hot Springs, ID today. Super want!!! Makes me wish I didn’t sell my bread van.

Camped right on the Colorado about two months ago at one of the BLM sites. Got absolutely raped by mosquitoes. Even with bug spray, it was insane from evening to dark, but once it was completely dark, they seemed to stop biting. Also hiked through Left hand fork canyon and got mauled there as...

Unfortunately no. I’ve been talking with a guy that claims he has found a way to get rid of it all and run it standalone, but I haven’t had a chance to research it myself yet. Hopefully I can get my hands on an engine and harness and ecu to experiment sometime.

Even before the crack down, the canbus can’t be “tuned” out. The ecu still can be tuned after the VW “fix”. Most of the people that are using the common rails are using modules that mimic canbus connections, basically fooling the ecu into thinking its running with everything.

I would love to build a buggy with one of the newer 2.0 common rail engines. I've been researching for a few months trying to figure out how a guy could run one standalone without breaking the bank. Unfortunately there isn't much on the market yet for it, at least that is cheap. And the ECU...

And how it used to be before I chopped it all up. This was pre lockers, still spring under, 31's. Part of me wishes I had never gone as extreme as I did. I miss being able to daily drive it down the highway safely (somewhat)

Current status. Gotta redo down pipe and exhaust, cooling system, again, and figure out some other little things.

Smiths has bone in pork shoulders for $1.49 this week.
