    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    First just to clarify I am not anti Bronco at all but these refundable deposits with no commitment are fairly meaningless converting to a total sales number. 30% of people probably wont have a job in 6 months let alone people that cancel otherwise or don't realize it's going to be the better...

    AdventureTaco - turbodb's build and adventures

    You live on the good side of the country to make that bet. My rusted though from the inside welds and eventual perforation in other spots of my then 6 year old truck in MI would laugh at that bet lol. But at least I did get a new frame out of it and the vehicle still lives on as my winter...

    Mitsubishi to Kill Off the Pajero (Montero)

    With all that R&D budget they have lying around? LOL I don't think so.

    Cabo Corrientes Jalisco Mexico

    Cool, thanks. I'm always surprised how little Mexico stuff is in here, especially from the mainland.

    2004 2WD Chevy Tahoe, what are my options.

    I always wondered how a G80 worked. Seems like a horrible compromise with terrible characteristics that get worse exactly at the worse time. I would rather have a helical LSD diff or a lunchbox locker in a second.

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    The least suitable vehicle I own for that course is a Sentra SER Spec V. I would give it a 98% chance of doing that course unharmed including the water wading lol.

    Bronco effect on Used Unlimited Prices???

    Even then it won't matter though. Whatever percent of total production is people trading in Wranglers it will take a very large volume of Broncos to be made and delivered before that even has the possibility of changing the price. It will be well into 2022 before there is anything like a large...

    Bronco effect on Used Unlimited Prices???

    There will be none around this fall and probably hardly any around by fall of 2021 so I am going to hazard a guess of no effect at all. It's going to be 2+ years before there are any real numbers in the wild of these.

    Extended JK, JXL

    That website is so spectacularly awful I would not buy it on that alone.

    Chip Foose Draws an XJ!!!

    I don't have anything against his thoughts on the XJ. But much like a Volvo 240 if you start adding swoopy bits (and crappy pointless grill guards) here and there it pretty much ruins the whole thing. There might be a way to update this design but this isn't it. It looks like a Liberty humped a...

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    Every one of these is a battle between my curiosity of the Defender vs how insufferable this guy is lol. :ROFLMAO: We get it dude the camera doesn't go off. Half of new cars with this crap have faults like this that are easily fixed by upcoming software updates which the dealer can't make...

    Diesel Gladiator

    I would trust a 2.0 liter over the diesel for going remote or international. Can't believe I just typed this sentence lol.

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    While possible, and a rational explanation, it isn't a good look when any moron can jump in a lesser vehicle and just go on baseline settings.

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    One thing I am surprised by is the T/C of the Defender doesn't seem to be any better, and maybe worse at times, than a humble vehicle like a Suzuki Jimny or a Jeep Cherokee KL. The Jimny's T/C definitely has a lag but it is a consistent lag which makes predictable driving possible. I don't...

    In 10 years of working with OEM design responsible engineers, tier 1 auto supplier QA people, and in house special problem solving teams while they work on OEM vehicles including diagnosing charging systems and other electrical gremlins not once has has anyone ever disconnected a battery to...

    Looking for recommendations for a samsung tab a 10.1 car mount

    I can tell you what not to order. A have a Ram Mount Tab Tite and for some reason the mount is not quite in the center. So when rotated to horizontal view one side is longer from the center of the mount leaving it unbalanced and wanting to flop around at all speeds while driving. To be fair the...

    Sunlight Basin, Morrison Jeep Trail Wyoming 2018 solo trip.

    A blast from the past. I finally edited footage from this trip into videos. One for the upper Morrison trail and one for Sunlight basin. Low quality vids with cringey narration for your pleasure lol. The older video of part 1 of the switchbacks. Looks like I never actually posted the video...

    V8-powered Jeep Wrangler crashes Ford Bronco's party

    Manuals still blow autos away for engine braking. They don't have to but since they won't let you manually lock the torque converter down to engine stall speed they are never going to be as good. I have driven cars with autos with stand alone trans management that let you lock the converter on...
