    TDI or Hybrid

    TDI's are sweet, but pricey to maintain, and purchase usually. 1997-2003 AHU, 1Z, and ALH engines are very reliable, and fairly cheap, but those cars are showing their age now. 04-07ish BEW, and BRM TDI's are known for eating camshafts often, especially if you don't use the proper oil. The 09+...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Thanks! It's kinda on a budget. I managed to find the front half of the Lowrange kit for $100 brand new. I understand it's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. I don't have access to a bender, or the money to do all brand new DOM either though. I don't plan on rolling it necessarily, but...

    It won't be on the entire bed, just a small strip like 4"x8" or so, to help distribute the load a bit. The engine is a 1.9 TDI as well, so I have plenty of power. I used the stock roll bar, just widened it, if that's the "b pillar" you're referring to? I just used it because that's all I had. I...

    Flying

    I've never gotten a chance to ride in a heli. What do I gotta do to get a lift in one?

    Flying

    I like flying because it's easier than driving, but I hate how freaking expensive and cramped it is. I'm 6'5", about 245lbs, wide shoulders. Economy is usually miserable for me, unless I can manage to get bumped up to an emergency exit row. Even just walking down the plane while boarding and...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Started installing my cage this past weekend. I have everything welded up except the main bar. I'm planning on sandwiching my flatbed frame with some 1/4" plate, and bolting it down, so it'll all still be removable. Then I plan on running more DOM down to the frame, and then cross bracing the...

    I like this picture, my friend in her samurai in the background always seems to photobomb everybody.

    Forrest Fenn's Treasure Hunt

    I would think it would be classified as prize money. I actually had a theory it was in Utah, until he announced it wasn’t in Utah lol.

    That’s what I thought. I wish there was sound.

    Wow. I know accidents happen, but if you have no clue how to drive, you shouldn’t be on the trail.

    Volkswagen TDI talk

    I did not. There is a few reason I didn't, firstly, because this is just my offroad toy, second is because it's near impossible to buy shims for them, plus I don't have a pop tester. You're better off taking it to a shop, or just sending them in to a dealer and having them done. That said...

    Volkswagen TDI talk

    Not sure if this counts to post this here, but I put new nozzles in for my samurai injectors today.

    My TDI samurai has been having some issues with cold starting, and hazing at idle, so I decided to put a new set of injector nozzles in it. Hoping it clears up my strong exhaust smell.

    Jeep Jeep Wrangler based truck (JT Gladiator)

    I've seen two of these so far, first one in salt lake cruising down 201, then saw another on a transport Friday morning in Orem. I'm very tempted to try and get into one, but I would really like to test drive first. I wonder how long it'll be til they're on every single jeep lot out there.

    Just checked with a buddy at LowRange, he has a 4.88 high pinion gearset if that’s of any help? In Orem.

    I just went and checked and I was wrong, I have a 4.30 set. My apologies.

    My posts are old, because I don't have access to my photo hosting site at home, only on PC, so this is from this weekend. Hauled my buddies samurai to his house so he can finish wiring up his microsquirt in his 1.3 dual cam turbo engine. Then I installed my trans tunnel cover, fixed my power...

    Welcome! Super jealous, Ouray is probably one of my favorite places I've ever been in Colorado.
