  1. Why so big?

    I had the 2 inch body lift on the YJ and the 33's cleared but the bump stops had to be adjusted. That was a 92. Nowadays, 35s are ho hum.
  2. Voided warranty due to gears

    I always shut off the A/C as I approach the parking area and let the system dry itself out with the fresh air 'vent' setting, fan on high. Fresh water condensed inside the ducts and plenum create mold and mildew not mention the stink. Dad the Car Salesman taught me this in 1972 and we all know...
  3. Why so big?

    Good take. I found a stash of yearbooks in a basement at the local university. One was from my freshman year, 1976. One shot of campus life was of many hundreds of us as a group. I was shocked at how the majority of us looked like Auschwitz refugees. The chubbies you could count on one hand...
  4. What gas are you using?

    I spent over a decade servicing the point of sale(cash register computer thingy), dispensers(the pump is in the tank) and tank monitoring gizmos. Mostly Gilbarco, Veeder-Root, and Veriphone with Tokheim and Wayne very infrequently. Gas is gas until the corporate brand and goobermint specifies a...
  5. Hot Sauce

    We have been growing hotties, (peppers, that is) for a long time but just now started making our own hot sauce. This years crop consists of, Jalapeno, Fresno Red, Scotch Bonnet, Red Ghost and Carolina Reapers along with the staples-dragon chile and habenero.. The home made sriracha(Fresno Red)...
  6. Voided warranty due to gears

    We hated warranty work at the dealership. The flat rate guide from Big H was structurred around a mechanic doing a specific task, say head gasket replacement. He had an assistant prep the bike by removing any and all items required before head removal. The assistant then was like the nurse in...
  7. Enough about the ESS ! ( Auto Start Stop)

    Reminds me of the motorcycles at the shop owned by the folks from Ghettostan.
  8. Enough about the ESS ! ( Auto Start Stop)

    I might be old but I can learn new tricks. Press Start, ESS Disable, set climate controls, adjust sound system. 10 seconds later at most, after scanning the indicators, warning lights and especially oil pressure, I am ready to go. No muss, fuss or grumbling and I get to move on to more...
  9. As said to my wife…

    I did not know I needed her permission.
  10. What happened to color?

    Kawasaki Green! Another gathering of the faithfull I see.
  11. What happened to color?

    Geko or Mojito is a likeable color but I am not sure I could live with it long term. My default color is red with black, yellow or gold accent colors. Those Saia owned trucks always catch my eye. Which brings up camo. I wonder how many vehicle crashes occur because of the vehicle blending into...
  12. JTDR with 373 Conversion to 488: Requires Entire Front Axle Changeout

    I wonder if it is more likely they do not have a qualified and experienced mechanic who knows how to properly set up a ring and pinion. The process is very easy but time consuming. Faster to swap the whole assembly. (I have 3 shaft drive Guzzi bikes and I roll my own)
  13. Safe to drive on the full size spare/rim?

    As long as the spare is the same size as the mains and your axles are free to differentiate if not.
  14. Would you choose to write off your vehicle…??

    I would not be opposed to the burn. That way I could strike a pose with the carcass.
  15. Method 703 Gloss Tit

    From the subject line, I was expecting a different picture. Dang old spell check.
  16. Anybody try putting the S&B functional hood scoops on a Sport?

    Valid observation and I would add that some of that went in to designing the non-functional Rubicon and Mojave vents. At least the Rubi has the louvers correctly facing backwards. There is another vid showing around here what I proposed-strips of yarn taped to the hood. Back to basics with...
  17. Anybody try putting the S&B functional hood scoops on a Sport?

    Because the Sport is not factory vented. They may fit if one is willing to cut out an opening and possibly help cooling if installed "backwards". Expensive experiment.
  18. Anybody try putting the S&B functional hood scoops on a Sport?

    The opening should face towards the windshield for proper extraction. These vents shown are farkles, nothing more. Those side vents aft of the wheel wells would be more affective if they were functional.
  19. Not a good day on the Gladiator today…

    Some bolts are only partly threaded, Would that affect the application? Discuss.
  20. Gladiator on fire, burned to the ground…

    Surely a lot of that going on. I say let them drink acid. Stupid does not need to reproduce. BTW, 30 sq.ft. is the max frontal area allowed per manual, V1. Trailer at 8'x8' is over twice that limit. Ouch.
