be prepared for your acceleration to suuuuuuuck.

300k+ if cared for and the wear parts are replaced.

wasn't sure where to put this so I'll just drop it here. the inverted car.

I'm way too far away to be useful

installed a 22,000 lumen industrial LED lighting fixture above my mom's washer/dryer. the previous florescent fixture (12k lumens?) was trying desperately to burn the house down so it had to go. and yes, I installed a dimmer switch for it.

there are no stupid questions. a manual trans is actually a very complicated thing. I mean, the auto trans is powered by simple witchcraft, but a manual has to use regular ol' physics to get the job done.

HO swap and run it!

I split it off into its own post for ya. one of the dealership guys should get you a list soon as they can.

admittedly most of those stories I hear stem from the owners being idiots.

had a similar issue with my trailer and it turned out that the bed itself was tweaked a little. tried multiple 'gates and they all did the same thing. essentially I just yanked hard on the corner of the bed to square it up, and now the gate closes cleanly.

just keep in mind those production numbers are for the calendar year, not the model year. other than that it's a good vid. kudos to the creator.

quality is key, both in product and the application. I paid to have my rockers Rhino lined many moons ago and they turned out crappy. but once done, there was nothing I could do about it. they had drips and the guy plugged all my rocker's drains. but I've seen some well-done examples these days too. Monster and Raptor are light years ahead of Rhino. you have to want it though, as there is no going back.

yup, there is no one-stop shopping (yet). google maps can help find local junkyards. car-part.com help find used parts too. Key-Parts should be added to the list for sure, as they have rockers, floor pans, and soon will have tails and I heard rumors of bedside patches in the works.

why?

oooooo! chrome ones!

oops

what's TB's Gordita count as? whatever it is, I pick that one. gimme more of that soft bread! roller coaster park or water park?

sleep is overrated...

I promise, my 4.0 does not do that. I would have noticed that years ago. when the power is cut, it stops in roughly the same amount of rotation and since the power can be cut at any time, that means the stopping point must be different each time. I might buy it for a modern engine though, where the computer has absolute control over things and can cut power at the same time each time.

all I know is that no engine I've ever worked on has been in the same place when I go to find TDC. maybe they were referring to modern engines with the quick-startup feature.

how much trimming are you willing to do? are you regearing the axles?

get stainless whenever possible

wait, what? why or how could an older engine even do that?
