I think that to reach higher temperatures the smoker requires a more efficient burn/complete combustion which causes less smoke production. Even though you aren't going for higher temps the cooler outside temps may cause something similar since you need more heat production to reach those same...

You reminded me that the NOCO I have has an override button for a completely dead battery. The unit automatically detects when its connected to a battery but if the battery is so dead it can't sense it then it won't let you turn on the power. The one I have has a button to override that and turn...

The new tires may have a larger diameter than the old ones either due to the old ones being worn or just the Toyos being larger. Most tires aren't true to size so one model tire that is a "35" may actually be 35" diameter but another model "35" may only be 33.5" in diameter or something like...

Total length is 31" longer than the JLU. Wheelbase is 19.4" longer than the JLU.

That second pick with the canopy looks awesome. Definitely looks like something that can take you places with lots of gear.

I want to see one with the bed chopped off and a canopy installed Australian Landcruiser style.

Yeah watch out for super cheap car rentals and then they hit with expensive mandatory insurance (it actually is mandatory per Mexican law) when you go to pick up with car. This spring I rented a car through America Rental Car. We picked it up in Playa del Carmen and dropped it off in Cancun. All...

I like the idea of putting paint on the tire then lowering it onto a sheet of paper. Since it is for a science fair that would give you nice visuals to use. If you wanted to complicate things you could put something on (or maybe under) the paper in the center of the tire like a rock or narrow...

They were cloth. They are gone now. Had to take them to the curb yesterday.

Replaced the front seats in my Cherokee with Grand Cherokee seats and the old ones are up for grabs. No rips but do have some stains. I also have some cheap seat covers you can have. The seats do not have the mounting/slide rails. I do have rails from the Grand Cherokee that I don't need...

I we are honesty with ourselves wouldn't a sliding door be more optimal? I see no down side to a sliding door and only easier access.

It was in Salt Lake where the market is hot but my brother sold his house almost completely on his own. He paid a realtor a nominal fee of something like $500 and that basically just got it listed on the MLS real estate system with some pictures and the realtor did nothing else and charged...

Same with the Auto Zone i had to continually replace on my Subaru Forester. It was right on top in the front. I timed myself and could get the old one out and new one in in less than 10 minutes and that was working with a hot alternator that i couldn't touch without getting burned.

I may sound like a Subaru fanboy (and maybe i am) but if you are considering an AWD vehicle i am of the opinion that Subaru is the only manufacturer with a true and fully functional AWD system.

I've never done it but I have heard you should get your OEM alternator rebuilt by a local shop. I replaced an alternator with a remanufactured one from Auto Zone and after that had to replace it every 9 months or so. It was free under warranty but it was really annoying.

In all the Subarus I have owned as well as family members I have never heard of any issues with transmissions. I think maybe the newer Forester XTs had an issue when they put a CVT behind a turbo'd engine. Head gaskets definitely are a thing but they should only need to be done once. They also...

Not sure about the animal collision side of things but it sounds like you need a Subaru. I would go for an older Forester XT.

I If it is like an XJ the flaps are vacuum operated and the defrost vents are the default location so it means you have a vacuum leak somewhere.

Thanks. I read through a bunch of that thread and will use it as a reference. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do exactly. I'm planning to work on cleaning the layer dirt and oil off the bottom so I can do a thorough inspection from that side. What I really want to do is replace...

I guess it happens to all XJ's eventually but I didn't think it would happen to mine so soon... Yesterday I was at the junkyard and found some front seats in a WJ Grand Cherokee that were in perfect condition. Grand Cherokee seats are much nicer than the XJ seats and are a bolt in swap so I...
