Well. OK, it's only 1:18 scale but still pretty cool! It was made in '89 by Toy State with working headlights/rollbar lights and a wired remote control, old school tech like our trucks. Apparently it was available at Toys 'R' Us.

On the way to the San Francisco auto show, a cool quarter mil. McLaren. I like the license plate.

Just in time for the Abu DhabI Grand Prix, last F1 race of the season.

I see in the 87-90 parts catalog there were two size shims, a 0.95 and a 4.00 mm. How much angle change is made for each 1mm of shim added/removed on stock suspension? Thanks.

Any parts store will have the switch for less than $10, don't bother trying to unstick the old one. Just replace it, you don't want to do it twice.

My 88, 89 and 90 do not have cruise control but the switch is the flat one shown for "with cruise control" in hornbrod's quadratec links. The round one looks like the one for the SJ. Here is the FSM instructions, if you do not have it, showing orientation of the switch & associated spacers/bushings.

Yeah baby!! That's how it's done!!

In which yard are these gems?

When I got it the price list was gone

Here's the HF 2 ton in use, worked great. Wait for the $179 special, maybe they're more now.

The wrapped wires are the coolant sensor and the one just above the oil pan is the knock sensor.

Those are some nice welds!!!

In the immortal words of Sergeant Hulka “Lighten up, Francis.” It’s just a joke, here is the actual strip: http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2013-02-11/

...yeah, I was bored at work.

There are two types I've seen on XJs, the one below and a shorter version that terminates just before the body line changes.

Just remember if you have a front skid plate it must be removed to use this front hitch, or at least modified.

It's a Draw Tite 75021 hitch, that's my truck.

The one that looks like an injector is for the knock sensor.

Hey Don are you getting rid of the shell?

Finally a way to prevent side fumbling.

Not too bad.Your mileage WILL vary. Anyone that buys this will be mashing the gas. When they make the 'Cuda, I'm in!!!

It will only set you back $100 per hp.

Apparently they have heard of "if it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is."

Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. The number three, being the third number reached, is the number of Comanches I shall own.
