No one in a C3 is under any illusion about their speed, it still holds the record for crappiest power to displacement ratio of any V8 since the 1930s. The Malaise Era was starting and cars from 1975 and on were choked with early catalytic converters, automakers hadn't figured out how to make the...

I'm thinking of buying a bunch of vacuum crevice tools, cutting the round ends off and plastic welding them together in a long, thin extension to get in there.

The damned roof is a point of water intrusion in a light rain.

At some point I plan to do a full belly Artec aluminum skid system, but I've bookmarked the diesel pan discussed here to see if it will clear. Artec comes to the expo most years and has a JT with the skid system installed, I might be able to get under there and see how much clearance there is...

I just fire up the air compressor in the shop and slap the blow gun on the end.

I think it was Carlos Sainz Sr.'s last Dakar too. Yes, the dad of F1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr. was still racing Dakar in his 60s - and winning.

Do you know anyone in the EU or Canada who can take delivery and forward the package to you? I've done that a couple times for things that won't ship directly to the US or my state.

That's how VW is building the new Scout vehicles. I'm not opposed to the idea of having a range extended EV, you can do a lot of fun stuff with that setup - like using the range extender as a generator in camp, or tapping into the battery pack for camp power if you don't want the generator...

Build a top that doesn't leak, even if it means doing it like a targa top with a single panel over the front seats. We have trucks, there's plenty of room for a solid panel back there. Turn the space below the center console and in front of the shifter into a spot to stash a phone by adding...

Yes, there were legit trails and roads that were closed - and I can see why, since they were the main access points to an area that was being systematically destroyed. We have really good open wheeling in Utah, the state set aside all of Sand Hollow Rec Area as an off-highway motorized...

As good as OnX is, anything with batteries is always the backup to paper maps. The book is great, but couple it with good topographical maps of the area. I like Latitude 40 maps for Moab East, and Moab West. Really great maps printed on waterproof plastic, and usually available in town. Even...

There are some really good suggestions in here. I'd recommend going to the bookstore in town, they always have copies of the Fun Treks guide book for the area. You could buy it on Amazon, but getting it in town helps local businesses. It will have a ton of trails with waypoints, trail guides...

Hopefully the air coupler won’t be in the reflector cutout, since so many people (me included) have auxiliary lights there.

I'd love to see the installation instructions or a video, it looks pretty tight up there. Does this also come with everything needed to run the air line somewhere accessible for an air chuck? I also see you recommend relocating the air filters; are there any plans to include the hoses for this...

I've had stuff loaded with a forklift and never had any issues. You should check out what Tacoma guys have to do, every Taco owner I know has added a thick sheet of aluminum to reinforce their tailgates against bending in half with normal use. You also have to add reinforcement to the bedsides...

I see what you did there.

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but VisionX makes this reverse flood light kit: https://www.visionxusa.com/shop/20-jeep-gladiator-reverse-light-kit/ They also make amber lights that fit that bracket, if you email them you can probably get the kit shipped with amber instead. The...

I'm looking for the OE insert for the dash tray. I know a lot of people install accessory mounts there and I'm hoping someone has an unused insert they're willing to let go of.

You don't really need big brakes when you are going slow off road and not towing.
