The subject says it all. Does Apple CarPlay‘s vehicle hardware/software component reside in the radio, or is it located in some other under dash box? I’m looking to replace the 7“ factory radio, but don’t want to lose the navigation provided by CarPlay. Our JT is a 22 Sport S without uconnect...

When I first started college I had a MGA roadster that had a hole in the center of the front bumper, a toothed socket in the center of the crankshaft pullry, and a crank handle in the trunk. It also didn’t have door handles or windows for the doors. Selective memory, because I remember from...

I started using Mobil One in my air cooled Porsche in the early nineties because the engine literally inhaled anything else (including Castrol), and have continued with every one since including the present P4S. The daily drivers along the way got it as well, just because. For the boat (twin...

Even in New England the headliner makes a huge improvement in the performance of the AC with the black hardtop. As far as noise, it’s loud and always will be loud. If you wanted quiet like a Merc, Audi or Bimmer, you should have bought one of them instead.

There are four ducks on our dash: three were given to me by the neighbor kids, and the fourth I found left on the glad after a particularly miserable day long hospital appointment. The dealer decal and license plate frame are still on because we actually have a pretty decent dealer and will...

A lot of replies, a lot of helpful advice, unfortunately not much accurate information beyond what will fit, be of reasonable cost, or look nice. Let’s talk about the important stuff: how well is any of this stuff going to work actually holding cargo down. The starting point is how much weight...

First off I’m coming clean, yes I’ve had the Glad two years now, and yes, today was the first time I vacuumed it. So in the process of this rare and historic event, I found this perfectly new looking piece of plastic end cap under the front passenger seat. But I can’t find anything that looks...

I am planning to add lights and my starting point is adding a control unit. From an ease of installation point of view the Auxbeam likes like a good after market add on. If anyone has done this, any tips or tricks to add? thanks H

Nothing since. I did learn from my service guy was that the replacement damper part number was different and superseded the original suggesting the new part was changed.

I‘m with you except for the point about additional mass being only in the tread. If you were talking about performance tires, i.e. 21” wheels then yes, probably a good assumption. However, when considering off road tires for a Glad, there will be significant meat in the sidewalls and casing...

That’s why I’ve taken to folding the forward part under the seat bottom.

No we haven’t. But having had a previous Lab (a poop eater) upchuck a stomach load of thawed “poopy pops” on the backseat of a new Silverado, I learned that the combination of stomach acid and redigested turd creates a smell that literally never goes away. So liquid imperviousness is a high...

That is an interesting perspective and it makes perfect sense. The one thing Chrysler lacked in the time frame was a decent SUV line to compete with Broncos & explorers and blazers & suburbans. And by getting Jeep they got the marketing benefit of owning the origin story. About the only thing...

Yes, there was a time when the end of the summer meant finding a winter beater car. The most memorable was a 63 Mercury Comet Caliente two door hardtop i had the winter of 72/73. It was basically a two door comet with a Mustang interior, but before the days when mustangs had muscle car...

I gather the zip line attaches to the headrest posts. Is the harness your dog is in part of the restraint system or just his going for a roadtrip harness? Ours has a harness for walking but the lead hook is in the front.

The multifunction with hammock. It has zippers for the seat backs that are sort of close to how the back splits. from our order Order summary Multi-Function Split Rear Seat Cover with Hammock - Regular (54" width) / Black × 1 $89.99

We’ve had Labs pretty much straight for the past thirty years. Best one I’ve found that‘s in the Glad is from a company called 4knines. It is the hamock style, but Sailor doesn’t like to be isolated so I folded the front bit under the seat. We‘ve had it since we got the Glad in July of 22...

Boy this discussion deteriorated fast after I last posted. Here are some pictures of the various mounts I mentioned in a boat environment. The first is our old boat with the Ram mount. We had the boat for 12 years and over that time we used the same Ram mount with a variety of displays. The...

It’s nice, but I’d go with a 911 GT3. Although the new T model 911 looks interesting

Yup, our 22 Sport S was just about 50, and the 52 k Willy’s probably has 5-6 k additional options on it. But, we also bought in the middle of the craziness. HB
