    "...more moving parts means more to wear and/or fail" is a non sequitur. One part doesn't affect the other part. If there are 4 CV's, three don't affect what the 4th does. What affects failure is design parameters, and quality control. The front end on my 100 didn't have clicking CV's until...

    Another thing. If you ever watch White's videos, he'll frequently discuses the cars load capasity and how it should sit. It's one of his OCD issues. He's always looking for the perfect spring rate and hight. (rabbit hole; just suck it up and realize youre likly to over spring your rig by a...

    There is no inherent reason IFS should be more fragile than a solid axle. That's an engineering issue, not a material issue. Old dodges with undersized crappy dana solid front axles failed all the time. The manufacturer just has to WANT to make the parts sturdy enough, and people have to WANT to...

    Thread for those that have their money down.

    I'm 6-4, and like most modern cars I had hoped the visibility upward to the traffic lights would be better, but modern construction with the sealed glass and thick roof insulation makes it better for the 6' and below crowd. But thats all cars nowadays in my experience. I'd get the sky lights if...

    I think the best assement is in the ASPW vid above. And yes, i say that because its everything I've been saying, and there's no feeling like affirmation. I will add, I have not cancelled my reservation yet, but I still haven't been told my slot and I'm getting irritated.

    Well, ASPW's dream of cheap stripper is a bit out there, and not because INEOS couldn't strip it. It's because INEOS made the mistake of contracting Styer to design an Econo-G, and it CAN'T be built cheaply for the volume and construction they are looking at. They HAVE to sell a ton of goodies...

    Grenadier buyer selling, short video

    Since you're calling me a liar, I decided to not only re-watch it, but googled the UK regs and looked for other complaints searching for a pattern that would support his claims, and yours. From 1:00 to about 1:40 he blames INEOS. He admits he bought the truck and it seems he assumed that having...

    INEOS Grenadier

    This truck is effing stupid. the turning radius is already sucky, and another foot on the wheel base will require bow and aft thrusters to park. There's no where to put a spare tire under it so, they put the tire in the loadbed. thats like giving you two rear seats and putting a dummy in one...

    In kind contributions for free exposure. Sir Jim gets good press and Scott gets to put his organization first in line, which brings in ad dollars and more products. Probably more than a decade ago, I recall comments about OJ never really having anything negative to say about products when they...

    those of you looking for a rear drawer system.

    PFFT.... thats because totes and duffels under a deck are what experienced travelers use. Drawer systems cost you 40% of the space under the deck. Holosun optics, and an orange charging handle say all you need to know about taking advice from this guy.

    Well, poor Bronco...

    I drown my 72 LC. I pulled the plugs, cranked it, spit water like a short bellagio show, and had it running in 15 minutes. It was a 350, qjet, and the only accessory was the alternator. Theres something to be said for simplicity.

    I especially like the “risky business” opening of the doors. Who is the Uboat commander?

    I’m not the apologetic type, and I don’t get romantically attached to objects, so if I thought of there was a thing worth watching, I’d say so. … .. to sum it up he didn’t his homework and bought the wrong damn car for his use. Car companies aren’t your goddamn mommy and don’t ask you what your...
