I like the final position, very discrete. If anything, drilling a chunky hole for the plug would also serve as a drain for accumulated moisture in the snorkel. I would recommend a rubber grommet though where ever the wire passes through a hole to avoid chaff problems.

My only commentary would be less air for sure. I run 8 to 12 depending on how loaded I might be.

The regulating, the dead kids? I am not a fan of agressive over regulation and to be honest I'm also not a fan of over reach in any form. Also not a fan of dead people. So yes, government mandates that force the design hand sacrifices a huge amount of design and artistic vision and so much of...

Seems to be the logic in texas, right?

Something not unlike these To quote the all knowing Truktor: "I'm not sure if the Light Shield detail that I'm going to point out here pertains to your plans, but it is a good excuse to post 10 photos of Ivan Stewart's (Cal Wells' built ) PPI single seater Toyota, one of the more...

Show me the pictures... I have a mid term project to make some shields for my lamps, like a snow hood but upside down. 160° beams can be like that.

So back in the day I was helping a buddy at his shop and one of the regulars motored in with one of the few hornets I've ever seen not either 1000 point diamond restoration or with a tree growing through it. She said it smelled funny and was making a weird noise. A quick peek showed the water...

I found it to be a very soft engine overall but it required you to wring all the rpm's out of each gear. I want to blame that horrid transmission more than anything else but the combo was not unlike trying to offroad a VW, lot of throttle and lots of clutch but almost no slipping; all binary...

Iron Duke trying to hold highway speed... the horror.

My 258 had an offy intake and growth stunted holley 4bbl, rumor has it there was a hot(ter?) cam in it too. Choke = Joke In the real cold it needed a shot of fuel and starter fluid to catch but one running wouldn't quit. More than a few times I found it full of snow, like need to shovel out...

Come on, you know you miss the smell of starting fluid at -10, the way that starter cable is just about to become transparent from the heat. Admit it, in some weird way you miss sticky secondaries that flood open after hanging up, making even the most mundane drive anywhere feel like outlaw...

The 258 from a giddy up go aspect was a wonderful jeep engine. My CJ came with the 151 and that was a living nightmare of screaming high rpm action to get anything done. When the 151/5 speed came out and the 258/T176 went in, the dana 300 and 4.10lsd my CJ7 suddenly felt weightless and...

Wrenches are my go to when the rubicon unit is on the fritz, happens more that I'd like. But wrenches/ratchet get it done quick with some zip ties to hold the link out of the way. That said the anti-rock always seems to captivate me in terms of how it "do" (damn you zFrank) and I often think...

But the horse hasn't been whipped into a frothy furry mess yet.

I got a set from quadratec as well, they have picked up some surface rust but that's what phosphate dips and krylon are for. I'll get around to recoating them when I'll pull the new wheels to paint them. The "bright" covered lugs are so crap BTW, any issue and the cover is damaged and now the...

It's almost like endlessly promising a highly technical answer to a simple problem and then never delivering. Almost.

I got that for sure, just noting it's a loooooong video. 3:50 before he gets to the point.

I can't speak for the paint but on the glass I prefer a good traditional carnuba wax, clean wiper blades (regular application of alcohol wipes or santizer) and washer fluid spiked with simple green or dish detergent. The fluid will eventually strip the wax but all the bugs on top of the wax...

That is a really long video for almost no content.

You are the some truck some of the time for whom a 1/4 ton is perfect for. The number of sheets of plywood (sorry @steffen707 ) or 2x4 I haul in my life is dwarfed by groceries, car seats, dog hair, trail dust and beach sand. But... I have acces to a 14' or 24' box truck with lift gate and a...
