  1. Keeping birds away?

    Ah, the Condor. A Vulture by any other name. And we have how many homeless veterans?
  2. Diesel owners; do you regret you engine choice?

    What rpm is max torque for the gasser? At the same rpm, how much torque does the Diesel produce? Apply the Diesel torque output to the formula and what is the HP? Inquiring minds want to know. My choice would be for a larger, more powerful gas V6 or 8 but not over 5.0 designed for a...
  3. Ranting and Raving!

    If you add the black grille to the order it should be a zero upcharge as the factory deleted the standard grille that was already added to the initial cost. All paint colors other than white now cost extra? Caveat emptor.
  4. Diesel owners; do you regret you engine choice?

    Because of torque. HP is the rate(over time) at which work, torque, is produced. HP is the salesman's version of penis envy. Need proof? Why does HD not publish HP numbers? Because a modern 600cc motorcycle "makes" more power on paper but the HD comes off the line like a cannon shot but goes...
  5. Diesel owners; do you regret you engine choice?

    Being smart is in short supply these days. We all have an ass. Be smart and do not worry about the ass. I will add that engines make torque and HP is a made up number of equivalency of steam engines to mine ponies but because the HP figures are what have been sold to the hive mind, that is what...
  6. Say goodnight, Gladys

    Insurance fraud. Character. Just sayin'
  7. Frame Salted From the Factory

    A pressure wash will cause the offending matter to be driven deeper into cracks and crevices.
  8. JT Catalytic Converter Theft - Is this a thing?

    Been happening here for over 10 years. Non citizens from Mexico scavenge everything. Leave a broken appliance on the street for pick up and overnight, it is stripped of any thing copper. Cats are rich in platinum. And it will get worse thanks to...
  9. Jeep destroyed by flat tow in 4Lo

    "Unfortunately insurance covers stupidity." Of course! The smart ones have enough money to underwrite their lifestyle.
  10. Bestop Development response

    IMO, the soft top looks best fully assembled and in place followed by the top on only with tube doors. The open sunrider and folded back top options morphs the rig into "Derpy Jeep". Cartoonish and fugly. I was planning to order the dual top group but the soft top would never be used for those...
  11. Why are wheels so hard to figure out?

    Here are my stats, I just wished I could buy an oem fender that was about another 1” wider. So does every one else on the roadway what with the rain spray and debris slinging. I love the big tire look although without extended fenders, to me it conveys a "I don't give a crap about you and the...
  12. tire question ........

    The numbers are approximations even within the same brand. If tires are mismatched, the open diff may be the only drive option. Overall diameter and height of the sidewall is important. It affects rotational speed and those pesky lockers and such. Know before you go.
  13. I wish...

    A person stops for fuel and a drink. Before fueling up, they purchase a 20 oz. bottle of water for say $1.00. Back at the fuel dispenser (the pump is in the fuel storage tank underground), the person grumbles about paying $2.75 per gallon while not realizing they have paid about $6.00 per gallon...
  14. 2021 Gladiator 50% off. ? $99,000. Thoughts??

    As they say in real estate- location, location, location. Get my drift?
  15. Adaptive Cruise Control: yay or nay?

    I did say the driving environment meaning a sphere of influence, if you will. 24 years is admirable- I totaled my first car in 1973 one month after pop buying it for me. National Safety Council Defensive Driving Instructor here and the NSC curriculum states there is no such thing as being able...
  16. 2021 Gladiator 50% off. ? $99,000. Thoughts??

    Because a Pinzgauer 6x6 is too crude for the mall.
  17. Adaptive Cruise Control: yay or nay?

    Again, we have a communication device adversely affecting the driving environment. It has been noted that a manual gearbox is a great anti-theft feature. Shoot, some folks do not even know how to spell BRAKES, much less how to use them.
  18. 2021 Synergy Steering Brace Version 2.0 Better than ever

    Why is a person who makes comments not called a commentor? Commentators come from Idaho. (I am from the George Carlin Era)
  19. Am I the only dummy....

    Former Def. Driving Instructor here. Over 40000 people in the US die every year in vehicle "accidents" per the National Safety Council. That is an airplane load of 100 people every day. The insurance companies want this fixed and you cannot fix stupid.
  20. Say "Hello!" to my little friend...

    Nice Orb Weaver, Ogre. Fascinating to watch the male weavers bounce their web to attract the mate. We have a habitat type back yard and yesterday the wife was alerted by the birds. "Snake!" they sang. Found a 6+ feet Eastern Rat Snake lounging in the wisteria shrub feature by the pool. I was...
