    our garage tug

    Haven't seen too many enclosed ones, but yeah super low rear end and super low gears. You should see how they load em up for international flights, some 13 baggage carts long Have allways wanted a cj10, someone in the twin cities turned one into his daily driver.

    e fan conversion, where to mount swirch

    I don't off road it much, washed out fire roads and a Buddy's field at best, but it would be awesome to push More than 70 mph. The 5 HP the fan sucks would go a long way towards that. I'd like to find a place to drill and tap over a tee in the rad hose, but prefer that to an external probe...

    e fan conversion, where to mount swirch

    I have a 97 jeep wrangler, a 4 banger and gutless at highway speeds, and a good mod has been to take the mechanical fan out and install an electric. My thought on it was to get another stat housing and drill and tap for a thermal switch, and run it to a relay. Is a stat outlet housing a bad...

    Has the internal combustion engine peaked?

    As stated hcci will be a jump in the right direction, pneumatic or solenoid driven valves will allow for infinite variability of valve timing CNG is also great for the ice. Super clean burning, oci can be stretched even further. The CNG civic was even fun to drive. The Honda insight engine was...

    HOA's. Hate them or love them?

    I wish hoa's did not have to exist. I like a little variety in houses, and most of the houses in my moms hoa are the exact same. Good hoa rules make life easy and maintain home values without being oppressive. But the rules should be flexible within reason. My aunt lives in a hoa that includes...

    Well is the time to look for another car

    The Saturn Ion describes kinda what you are looking for, it even has performance flavors if so inclined. The Saturn l200 would be a bigger car, more of a dog, but still has the ecotec but is a good highway cruiser. The Chevy Malibu Max was rumored to get close to 40 mpg as well There is...

    50:1 Fuel mixture - Increase oil?

    I read a test by a MX magazine in the 90s, that tested 5 ratios on the same engine, rebuilt and broken in 5 times with a compression pressure variance of 3psi. The carbs were jetted for the mixture, but they found more power because of less friction the closer you got to 1 to 1. Kinda like what...

    .22LR Rifle for Appleseed

    If you decide to go with the mod.60, get good at using that speed loader. The test is based off of the army aqt back when the Garand was around, hense the two 8 round magazine changes and the two round magazines. The 10/22, tech sights, web sling is close to shooting a Garand. I think that...

    .22LR Rifle for Appleseed

    Get the 795, a sling, several pro mag 25 rd magazines, and think about tech sights It seems that the micro grooved barrels are inherently more accurate. Also the 795 cannot be modded to the same extent so it is less likely to cost a ton I love my 795 it just rocks
