Bestop flatly told me, when I showed a pic where someone else ground the rain gutter "no, don't do that!". Well, they won't help, but don't want someone to resolve the problem because of their lack of support? Makes no sense. I'll have to consider the grinding of the mounting area that goes...

Even Bestop said - no, don't do that, it's not right. Further, as their engineer said, there were other issues with mine, such as clamping force. Your acceptance of 3rd rate shit makes it harder for those who like things to fit correct and like things done right to get things fixed. It's a...

Factory ends up a bit over 200. I had no problem with quality sockets and a bar, but eventually started using my Milwaukee cordless impact to loosen things. You do need some serious leverage to get to FACTORY torque plus degrees on them.

No, it senses the knock before you can even hear it and adjusts the timing and mixture as needed. It doesn't "reduce power". Did it shift during that time? that may be what you felt. You will not feel the subtle adjustments the PCM makes to stop detonation. Do you baby it? Do you keep a light...

No towing but you have still increased weight and load on it.

So many things on that list are subjective. Some might say I abuse mine, I say I baby it to some extent, however, I am NOT afraid of RPM and don't freak out if it sits at 4,000 RPM for a half mile. And of course, combinations matter. I have resolved many a problem by keeping track of not only...

All that does is show wear, nothing else, so there is that and it proves nothing other than you likely won't see increased wear IF it's decent oil.

Yeah, well I need to show you the post from the jo side where the owner used that from day one and lost a cam. Believe whatever you want, it's sure not based on anything solid.

All of these threads are totally stupid....armchair experts, total non-mechanics with no experience, they mostly are crap. It's really that simple.

You would block too much light. Just use a relay. By law the light must make the plate visible xxx feet away at night. These barely do that as it is. Don't overthink or reinvent the wheel....relay it

a 6 year old zombie resurrected.......... old news.

I modified this pigtail from Oracle to do it my way with aux switch or reverse either way. You only need one of these. You can make it simple with one of these or use two individual diodes and roll your own (above diagram). I like this method. It's neat, tidy, weather-resistant and so on...

Flexible as heck..............

The "cigarette lighter" type of 12v outlet is weak, limited in what it can handle and is prone to vibrating loose at times. I decided to go Anderson for several reasons - my trailer winch of course, but I figured I can make adapters and power almost anything I might have from it. Might even get...

LOL - funny. You have no idea how much power some of us pull back there. I ran heavy wire to the bed of mine so that I can power USB charging ports and a connector for my trailer mounted winch, and run a 12v outlet, even charge small batteries back there. I have an anderson connector, a USB...

I have a pixel 7, my wife has a Samsung Flip 4 and both charge just fine any time they are plugged in, but then I buy high-end cables............ Never have had a problem other than the fact they charge at the low rate compared to modern charging methods.

I need to pull out the 1914 2HP Chapman (among my favorite) and fire it up. I bet the Alamo BlueLine would easily start. What I've been working on lately - but I've run out of stamps to sort and place in my albums. I sent this one to a lady who evaluates stamps and she said (other than...

Come visit in late July, early August. My son's family visited us a couple of years ago in July. The whole time E.J. griped about the humidity here. (they live in FL, not far from the coast) 5 or 6 years ago I sprayed some weeds in the gravel drive by my shop. A month later, the weeds had not...

How about this September you come along with me to the drag strip and listen to some of the cars there that wind up 5,000-9,000 RPM, blowers, superchargers, you name it........... you swear some are going to blow. (and many get driven to the track, some drive their vehicles all over the...

As far as 3M tape...... I've used it for years on auto trim and other heavier parts. I defy anyone taking things apart without destroying them even after 12 years. I had to leave a couple of things with our 2023 JLU when we traded it. Impossible to remove. The genuine stuff is amazing and...
