This is an old picture but I haul this girl to the boat ramp 3-4 times a month. I'd say between 5-6000 pounds all loaded to go offshore. Of course, I live at sea level and the only "hill" is the bridge on the way to the ramp. Wouldn't want to haul it at high speeds or across mountains but the...
Did my first home oil change and was pleasantly surprised that the dealer didn't over tighten the oil pan plug or the filter cartridge. Easiest oil change ever - it took longer to run to the store to get the oil and filter than to do the change. Also, love how easy it is to reset the oil life...
Got my Oracle back-up lights put on today. Super easy (like 15 minutes total) with the wiring harness and no issues with my non-LED tail lights. The OEM back-ups are dismal so this will have to be a giant improvement.
Wouldn't work for my Sport S either. First, I manually entered the VIN and then tried to scan the barcode - neither worked...
I found it funny that it wasn't an update to the old app but a whole new app. I have both on my phone now.
I'm back! I talked my wife into taking a little trip to Damascus for my birthday. We rode the Va Creeper Trail on a rented tandem the first day - lots of fun. That night, I spoke with the owner of the VRBO where were staying since he had a MABDR banner on the front porch. Turns out, he was...
I got a set of Amazon recovery boards (Bunker) for my birthday. A quick trip to Tractor Supply for some M6 x 100 ss bolts and a couple of tarp hooks and a shot of black spray paint did the trick. For the OCD impaired, I know it's off center (I hate it too but we're traveling tomorrow) but...
Add me to the list. Went in for my last free oil change and tire rotation yesterday and they found the right rear seal leaking. They claim they've already ordered the replacement axle and will have it in 3 days.
Why did you send me down this rabbit hole?!!! I just watched 3 YouTube videos of some dudes on big ADV bikes running this "trail". It looks perfect for what I like to do - nothing too technical but far enough away from civilization to feel like you're out there... It's mostly gravel roads...
I've been on an Old Forester kick lately. The 1910 is my favorite so far - better than the regular OF and the 1920 IMO. I picked the 1870 up yesterday and it's smoother than the 1910 but doesn't have that smokey taste that I love. Still good stuff though. I was always (and still am) a...
Finally bit the bullet and put on a Rock Hard winch plate and a Smittybilt 10k winch today. That set up let me keep the plastic bumper and save some weight on the front end. It was mostly straightforward except for getting it all in place WITH the grill back on. I had to loosen the whole...
Not sure where you live in NC, but Hendrix in Wilmington matched the Tri-City deal and gave me the Tread Lightly discount too. Dana was my sales person.
My friend is a sign maker but she also does decals and such. I had her make me a new front tag and I think it turned out pretty slick. I was looking for a red, white and blue jeep tag when this popped up - sent her the jpeg and this is the result.
