I remember my very first brand new vehicle, a 1990 Dodge Dakota 4x4 with the V6, limited slip etc. Was helping my girlfriends sister and her boyfriend move places and I let my girlfriend take my truck to get lunch. As we see her pull in to the lot we all watched her screw the pooch on the...
I'm 55 have shit knees ( 5 surgeries at this point ) and tendon damage in my right hand, I actually wore pants because it was cold that day. If I could have done it in the snow it would have been AWESOME for my knees not having to kneel down on the hard ground and look..... nature provides a...
I did a write-up when I put it in, Amazon changed the product page but I went ahead and found the right product again and updated the link. Comes with a relay/switch now which is nice...
Today was oil change and tire rotation day. I'll never undestand why folks think changing the oil is hard, you only need two tools. Just remember to turn hard right when you park it to make room to get to the filter.
I did mine in the garage with nothing but hand tools and a floor jack, Ford fox 2.0 all 4 corners in under 3 hours with a string alignment. I could beat that by and hour on a lift with power tools.
I'm pretty skilled when it comes to wrenching though.
There is a ton of terrain your truck will do with no problems at Hollister. There is also a neat little play area with man made obstacles. It's worth a trip out there.
It all depends, if you would have taken that cash for the Prius and Ranger and thrown it in a S&P 500 Mutual fund at the beginning of the year you would have made 20% on that money while paying less than %2 on a car loan assuming you have good credit.
If you CAN pay cash you are actually...
More " busy " makes it sound like there is more movement than you would like but only on the small chop ( crap streets ). That is because of the stiffer dampening of the Bilsteins vs Stock. The stock struts do just fine on the small stuff because they allow movement on very small loads, they...
You're thinking about " preload " wrong. It doesn't matter in the different heights available on a slotted Bilstein strut. The springs in our trucks are not progressive they don't get more spring rate as you compress them further, whatever the spring rate is it stays that spring rate till...
I've got the throne seat that fits on a 5 gallon bucket. I keep plastic bags and a 1/2 bag of cat litter in it. Only had to use it once but it seemed like the best purchase I ever made in my life when I did.
Pretty much the same, I've never had the brakes applied but I've had it go off several time while accelerating through a lane change where I'd been fairly close to the car I'm passing. My wife and I laugh when it goes off now.
You might think I may drive like a complete asshole but I assure...
Neat swap. I have a couple more BMW 2002's ( well one is a 1600 ) and rather than build up another highly modded M10 for the next one I was thinking about putting a late model BMW turbo 4 in it and then do the 74 turbo clone look. I could only get about 300hp out of the M10 with 2 bar of...
I have the black package 18" on mine ( your wheels minus the machining ). I'm on a Falken WP in 265/70/18 and air down to 22 for our standard forest service rocky roads and makes a huge difference. You can easily add 15mph to your cruise speed and the ride is so much nicer, full disclosure...
He went into that right turn into the pit in full send mode with both front tires spinning like mad, when the front left tire hit the hard side of that mud hole and stopped rotating the spider gear was shock loaded badly.......and that was all she wrote for that little gear. He did a bunch...
