In the interest of time
allow me to suggest
concentrating on the eastern portion.
Visit your people while they still live
and the mines where they worked.
I was fortunate enough
to be able to do that
for my wife with her family
who were West Virginia coal miners.
Drive long hard days in the...
The 2021 Rubicon I purchased in 2023
came with 35 inch tires and the Mopar lift.
I swapped for stock wheels and 33 inch tires
with the owner of a new 2023 Rubicon
and removed the lift.
No regrets.
It was surprising how much sportier it felt
with these seemingly minor changes.
Lowering the...
When I do not feel like
loading up and lugging the Sniper Seat
I have used a BOG tripod
and folding camp chair.
Light combination easy to pack in
and set up.
Mine does not have the clamp
but I can hang the rifle on it by the sling
if I need to take a break.
Here, my M1 Garand with Scout...
I have used a chair like this one
Sniper Seat
with success.
Provides a comfortable place to sit
and enjoy the outdoors
while you are waiting
as well as support for the rifle.
I use the armrest fully extended
and the rifle support bottomed out.
A bit of hydraulic hose
on the supporting V...
In answer to my own question
an M-LOK compatible plate
is available from Z1 OffRoad
but not for the Gladiator.
And the RubiGrid...
close but no cigar.
RubiGrid vs Z1
I have asked the BulletPoint company this question
and they do not seem to know what I am talking about.
My understanding is that the RubiGrid
has to be completely removed
in order to add or relocate devices.
Go ahead. Insert jokes about optical scopes,
night vision lasers, grips...
Stop/start was created
to meet EPA emission targets
for the short term during testing
while adding cost and complexity
and aggravating all of us
for the long term.
Kind of like CAFE requirements.
But I could be wrong.
I often am.
NHTSA seat belts
are probably a good idea,
now that they have...
Have we sacrificed bushing durability
on the altar of roller bearing fuel efficiency?
Prior to 2011,
Chrysler used bushings of sintered bronze.
Did Chrysler forfeit long-term reliability
to meet short term CAFE requirements
leaving us to pay a higher price
down the road?
I'm coming up
on the five year warranty in June.
With less than 30,000 miles on it
and only mild ticking
I wonder if I can get the work done
under warranty.
When I was stationed in Germany
we went touring in England
and I locked myself out of our VW Variant.
Fortunately, I had a spare key
in a magnetic key holder
tucked out of sight.
Yes, you there in the back of the room.
Well, the other reason to separate
your key from the keyfob
is so you can keylock the center console,
glove box and backseat back,
and keep the key for yourself
while providing the key fob
to a valet or mechanic.
I forgot to lock my center console once...
What! Tell me it ain't true.
You mean
my Tornado does not increase horsepower?
I found this Tornado in my '98 Wrangler
that I bought in 2014.
I was at least the third owner.
A previous owner had put it in the air intake.
I posed it on the mouth of the intake
for the picture
and then put it...
With the vehicle parked
and the wheel centered
how far can the wheel be turned
left and right
without noticeable resistance?
It should only be about an inch.
If it moves easily 3 or 4 inches
from side to side
that is what is causing
drifting one way
straightening up
then drifting the other...
