  1. We installed 4.88s from a 4.10. (37” tire). Review, tips, and notes inside!

    I did that on my 70 Chevy II with a 327, but I was 20 years old and just out of tracked vehicle mechanic school and used the shop on the base. I would never attempt it now. Good on you.
  2. EV - not ready for the masses?

    I thought the new Mustang EV looked pretty good, even though buying a Ford would take some major shifts in my thinking.
  3. EV - not ready for the masses?

    I'm not an engineer, but if that generation was powered by renewables, or nuclear there would be no CO2 consequences. Also tangentially, I'm assuming that the water produced could be captured, and we sure could use it in the Southwest. I doubt the technology is here for that however.
  4. EV - not ready for the masses?

    I think it might be different for those of us on PNM. Only southern NM is on El Paso. In some neighborhoods (i.e. Rio Rancho) residents can no longer get rooftop solar, presumably because of grid capacity. East (I'm just north of Albuquerque), they still have the grid capacity.
  5. EV - not ready for the masses?

    A hybrid would solve that issue. Probably the best next step like Toyota is doing now and planning on hydrogen.
  6. EV - not ready for the masses?

    I thought that as soon as I ordered my JTR (now on the train) Jeep would make a 4XE Gladiator, but it looks like it won't be in 2023. I'm pre-wired for 220 in the garage and have 6.2kW rooftop solar, so both my wife and I are just waiting.
  7. BILLET SILVER Gladiator JT Club

    I would have ordered this color if it was available in 2022. I got bright white instead. The silver now is too gray for my taste. The older silver sure looks mighty fine.
  8. Anyone know why hardtop headliner and spray in bed liner not available for ordering?

    I looked at the Order sheet for June and they are both listed.
  9. Anyone else feel this way?

    I taught my daughter (she's 46 now) to drive, on and off road, in an Isuzu Trooper 4X4 MT. She can now drive everything and taught her kids to drive an MT. I learned in the early 60s in my mother's Corvair Monza (remember them) stick. So for those youngsters an MT isn't a Millennial or Gen Z...
  10. New Vehicle Inspection Checklist?

    Thanks. Now if mine ever gets off the train!
  11. paper service or shop manual

    That was my experience as well.

    Me, my brother, and cousin - predestination. My first jeep - 1954.

    Thank you. My DNA says I'm 73% Great Britain and Irish. Where's my 12 year old Jameson - cheaper than gas.

  17. Gobi Gladiators Waiting Room

    Me too - a garage full. Still driving my 2018 TRDPro Tacoma that is already sold for the original MSRP. After waiting long enough there are days when you forget about it, well a few days.
  18. The one that got away...

    My 1973 CJ-5 I bought new for $3500. I had it for 15 years, two engines and two clutches, that was it. Used it for my fieldwork in grad school all over the Southwest. Give a lot to have it back. Only added wider wheels and tires, and an aluminum top, and Warn winch. This photo is the day I...
  19. Gobi Gladiators Waiting Room

    I would agree. I was stationed at Kaneohe for 2.5 years and visited twice. My dad was a Marine in the Pacific during WWII and when we visited it was one of the few times I saw him cry. The other was when I got orders for Vietnam.
  20. Just Ordered? Check in HERE!

    ShadowsPapa mentioned it, or at least one like it. Notice that in various parts of the assembly line there are multiple colors.
