knot sure, just a conversation I stumbled onto on the other forum. mark had mentioned in a diesel heater thread that they had been having really good luck with one of the chinese heaters and they planned on reselling them as ccv units. this was a while ago hence why I said last I heard because I...

Last I heard ccv was putting their name on one of them and reselling. Leads me to believe they likely install as well. or maybe install yourself? there’s a pretty informative fb page dedicated to these heaters. I’ve learned a lot lurking around. Always a few dickheads like with anywhere, but...

wish the 35x10.50 was available in an e rated version. I’d buy those without hesitation.

did you end up with the 180 or 300 tw tire on your jetta? I don’t really consider 300 tw a sticky tire, but we raced local autox and hillclimbs for years. for us, the 50-100 tw is ideal. true r comps put the cars we race in unrealistic classes. wish the kenda 180 tw tires had 15” sizes so we...

my question wasn’t whether or not they would handle the capacity, just how fast they would wear. they seem to have the same load ratings as the ko2, 3195 aired up to 65lb. most of the tires I’ve been looking at have very similar ratings. reading reviews a handful of owners said that the kendas...

I run 17’s but I have to for brake clearance. I’d run 15’s if I still could without hesitation providing the sizes I want/like are available.

^^^ I care, so thanks for the plug! they offer that tire in a size I like for one of our cars and have been eyeing them. no need to buy soon since that car will likely be garaged first the winter soon, but the bridgestones are well past their wearbars and we will need new rubber once it warms...

I used windshield adhesive when I installed mine, but when I found the same window in a junkyard van later there was no sealant whatsoever and there was no apparent leaking.

I started with toyo at2’s on the van. Traction near the end of their life was worthless. Got about 30k out of them. Wasn’t impressed overall. Bought ko2’s for round 2 and they have performed as expected. Quieter than the at2’s and much better grip for the terrains we spend time on. Right about...

^^^ does tnt still let you out in the yard to wander and pick n pull yourself? All the jalopy jungles have 92+ vans with barn doors. Spend a morning going to all 4 and I’m guessing you can even find a set with matching paint. I have a set of clear pop out windows for the barn doors if your...

Yep, stocker step bumper. I know their design is a catch all where most spares can bolt on and go, but it wouldn’t be hard to predrill the adapter plates for the more popular sized tires so that the burden of the weight was more on the bumper than the tire carrier. there’s a good thread on the...

I have a 35” tire on my aluminess carrier and don’t need to swing the tire to access the passenger door, but I made my own adapter plate too. When I made the new adapter plate I was doing so because I went from 8x165 to the 8x170 bolt pattern on the van. At the same time I designed the adapter...

Not 100%, but pretty sure the answer is 265/75r16, but you should do a search as this topic has been covered extensively. Keep in mind that there is no industry standard to sizing tires. One brands tire of the same size can be different in every aspect including treadwear. Best to find a place...

Every window in the car was rolled down and moon roof opened. Any officer would have a better view into my car then with non tinted windows and glare from the sun. Interior spotless with zero clutter. Hands on wheel. Yes sir, no sir responses. Please explain to me how thats “unsafe”.

then why no tickets for any of those things, specifically the “unsafe” tint? Typically only ticket I got was a no proof of insurance citation. and please respond as to how illegally tinted windows are unsafe before law enforcement is involved?

So in other words, a car with illegally tinted windows is 100% safe until law enforcement gets involved? oh and I got distracted by fresh out the oven huckleberry oatmeal cookies and forgot the last thought about the 50 or so times I’d been pulled over in that car I spoke of above. None of the...

Im guessing this is what I was supposed to go back and read. So it’s unsafe cause police can’t see in the vehicle during a stop? Has nothing to do with poor vision at night or anything that’s really unsafe with the offender or their vehicle, just the fact that the officers view of the vehicles...

you’ve said this at least 3 times in this thread. how bout you elaborate the reasons as to why it’s sooooooo unsafe? I had a car with 20% on all windows but windshield, but even it was tinted at 50% with a 5% sun visor well below the as1 line. Car was like that for 12 years. No idea how many...
