  1. Brake applies when door is open

    So because the algorithm is always listening, youtube fed this to me today, War, Live at The Grove 2007 Still a tight act, still creative and still cranking it out but also still never achieved the reach perhaps they should have full catalog wise. Related, tight sound with smooth grove and...
  2. Shaker siphons to transfer fuel

    Jigglers are a great way to move fuel in a "controlled" fashion but they can be a little sloppy if you aren't following protocol; remove the source hose first and drain the line into the target tank otherwise it can be very zoolander.
  3. How to fill a crack in a broken taillight?

    Clear epoxy and some wet sanding/headlamp polishing if it bothers you enough. If the color match/blend is a bugaboo then metalcast red should blend it in.
  4. Brake applies when door is open

    It appears that War met the fate of many other ensemble groups; an endless series of comings and goings and going to tomorrow's parties with yesterday's looks. Some guys died, one was killed, the new jams never became new hits and while they may have been very artistically gifted individually...
  5. First foray into the sand.

    Great report on performance and beautiful pictures
  6. Upgraded tires/rims change the odometer and rear transmission shift points?

    The change in tire size won't cause damage but will start feeding the computer data that doesn't jive. reprograming for the correct tire size will help smooth out shift points so it wants to work like normal and will get the odometer back in line. Owning your own tool is very helpful as your...
  7. "OLD SCHOOL" manual hubs

    A good computer controlled AWD system can do a lot of cool things and do it better than I can based on the ability to see very small changes in very short time intervals. Crazy Larry who runs with me does the same trails in a land rover sport with knobbies and it's more about line and patience...
  8. "OLD SCHOOL" manual hubs

    Honestly I only use the locks when I fighting either slip because rock slime, skree etc or it's rock garden wheels in space action. Other than that it's open and just jumping between hi and lo as needed. Ultimatly I always get to a point on the massmog trails where it's just easier to leave it...
  9. "OLD SCHOOL" manual hubs

    My rubicon is open until I lock it and the places I go, I go with unimogs, also open until locked.
  10. "OLD SCHOOL" manual hubs

    That answer is simple, lockers.
  11. "OLD SCHOOL" manual hubs

    I see... manual hubs, direct manual linkage shifting... you sir have no appreciation of technical improvements or refinements. Gasp... a dash mounted soft touch switch to control tranfercase positions, how ungodly. My 360 powered J20 engaged 4wd all on its lonesome via quadratrack. Don't talk...
  12. Are most Overlanding rigs overweight?

    Unpopular opinion time. Most "overlanding" much like most "offroading" is actually spent on highways getting to the wilderness. Some good tires and you could "overland" most BLM type roads. The added swagger points of a rubicon are for when you want to do some heavy duty offroading. The...
  13. Are most Overlanding rigs overweight?

    I'm happy to have helped bring more light into your overlanding. And yes it will probably require some drastic deletion to really get the weight down. Whats funny about this is I sat down to try and figure out what my weight gain was when I swapped out 255/75/17 KM3s on stock rubi coffin...
  14. Overlanding done right

    She's got every overloaded land yacht beat by a country mile I guess. Hard to get less bloated than this build. And with independent suspension, a completely green renewable powertrain and zero emissions controls it's raw horsepower at it's finest plus comanding road vision and leather...
  15. I love my local dealer!

    If you've got good people that's fucking amazing and stick with it. I loath my local dealer because despite their home spun ads, it's very clear and very obviously they are just as money grubbing as any other dealership of the modern era. Dealerships always grumble about why people don't like...
  16. First foray into the sand.

    Yes boeing was a little scant on supporting data. And yes we could do our own math to divine the nature of the elipse based on tire carcass geometry and see how consistant the math is. I mostly use the calculations to demonstrate the principle, in the field I just air down until the main tread...
  17. Electric chainsaw? Can we power it from 110v outlet in bed? Or better off with battery?

    Probably doing the math on acquisition cost being amortized over potential number of uses being a huge turn off. I Love me some Stihl but at a considerable increase versus my Husquavarna, the math doesn't work. As for electric units, far easier for the hobby jeeper to manage, sharpen it...
  18. Mopar Certified Meyers Snow Plow for Jeeps?!? Anyone have info?

    As previously discussed the receiver plow are good but not great and are essentially big boy yard tractor plows. Plow early plow often.
  19. Electric chainsaw? Can we power it from 110v outlet in bed? Or better off with battery?

    They make prunning blades for the sawzall and damn they can move some wood. Not pretty but if you need to open the way, handy for sure.
