yeah cj8 but with a flatbed of the long bed variety. trying to copy an m37, but with a small extended cab, and flat bed, hell I could just hack the roof off mine really, but I think it would look goofy that way, I think the CJ or YJ tub and fenders with a shortened tub to small extended cab...

I know I might catch some flak for this, but so what.. anyways, I've had this thing for roofless pickups since the 90s with owning not one but 2 dakota convertibles, whats not to love, haul, tow, open air motoring. anyone with a jeep knows what I'm talking about, that is until you need to...

I have beat the snot out of my 12 (2.5x non turbo) for 3 years now, I take it off road, its lifted, and i tow 3k with it only upgrade is rear springs to handle weight. my advice if you want to offroad it or work it, get an automatic.. or upgrade the clutch. factory clutch sucks! it will start...

by the price tag of course :) I approach everything with a value approach, is it worth X dollars to do this? like the skid, I think that cost me about $180 to make with materials etc, and prevents things from poking holes in expensive things.. I don't think I would do the methods, because...

thats fine I suppose, but what exactly do you get? I've been places and done things on my stock rims, and still don't see why I need the extra sidewall.. with the new multi link rear your running out of suspension before you run out of tire.. and a skid plate I made...

I gotta ask how can y'all justify the extreme price tag of the methods? so far with good driving techniques ive surprised more than a few folks.. still have no need for more sidewall...

well finally some pictures of my buggy, supprised a few folks, and actually because its so small, did better than some of the bigger rigs.. but here she is... this ones funny, its not that tall, the plastic rocker panel blends in, making it look stupid tall..

geeking even further.. voltage sensing can be done with a ziener diode (I think) basically a ziener diode is a one way voltage gate, unless the voltage rises above a certian threshold then it lets it through, thus triggering the "start countdown" signal to a timer, I think I can build one for...

yeah I looked into a mini ACR their only like $50 which would work.. but the geek in me wants to build it, the circuit is actually really easy.. out of an arduino (lil teeny computer) like a raspberry pi if anyone has heard of that.. and said big dumb relay. mainly because I got it for other...

I could do it that way, howevr the amp has a remote turn on wire from the stereo, so its only on when the stereo is on, so really don't need to worry about that, but, it would be nice to have the option to run the stereo without the amp draining the starting battery, so, utilizing an acr...

I sell Henkel products (loctite) but $40 for a 1oz bottle?! is fastenal sniffing it? that's insane, I can possibly get this stuff through my job, I need a lot (glue down about 70' of velcro) so that stuff just isn't going to fit my budget, I did buy a ton of contact cement thinking that might...

plastic, metal and headliner, pretty much velcro around the insides of the windows. kinda hard to explain.. Looking into the self adhesive stuff but its pricey.. I need like 75' whole point is so that they seal and keep the bugs out with the windows rolled down...

so my first design for my velcro up window screens / privacy shades didn't work, all the glued pieces pretty much became detached. going to pull whats still clinging and try again. anyways what glue should I use? because of their location the velcro is "fuzzy side up" going to rough up the...

I'm looking into an alt upgrade, and the battery is small (has to be to fit) looking at around 30AH and the upgraded alternators look to be in the 200a range.. that would charge it up quickly? seeing as its almost double. and no starter current would not be passing through this wire, its...

well for now, no other charging just the alternator. possibly solar in the future.. which I would make a stand to put it outside, and feed through a connector (rv 7 way under the hood or behind the front plate for winch power, and upgradable if I ever flat tow it to run the lights) the wire...

Plotting out some stuff for my superu. while just using the starting battery to run things works as I keep a jumper pack ready and waiting, I'd like to install a small deep cycle to run lights, and do some other things like possibly a cooler. anyways, I already have an 8 gauge wire running...

subaru all the way.. their cheap, reliable, and good on gas, I'll use my 12 forester for some specs here. stock a subaru will go (with good offroad driving habits) down moderately crappy trails (find freshlikesushi) add a small lift kit and your above ground clearance of a stock 10 year old...

no gee-whizbang stuff yet, but after 82k we've had a bang.. new clutch, control arm bushings, general maintenance. and a 2" lift has been ordered. I have been living with this thinggy for 2.5 years now.. I have picked a plan at least I think I have. calling it the sleeper explorer (which...

Ok, So, I'll admit, just learned about aprs. for being a solo explorer most of the time, this sounds like a great service to participate in. however I don't see why a license is necessary, being that its a controlled and broadcasted by an electronic device. to me its no different than a...

Hey folks! sorry I forgot I asked this question on here.. the generator has worked flawlessly to power my welder. welded all through the winter, and still welding off it. usually at 75% power. its an allpower 4k (cheezy chinese genny) with a firepower 110 welder, (also of same chinese origin)...
