    Understandable… but a bit of a bummer. Good luck with it.

    Neat! Do you have a link to it?

    ^ Yup. Hit it with a heat gun to soften the plastic and pull the rivets out. Reinstall in reverse order or put a little epoxy behind the plaque to keep it in place.

    Looks like a great start at a good price. Probably a good base for a drivetrain swap. https://cosprings.craigslist.org/pts/d/peyton-1986-jeep-comanche-4x4-project/7434624390.html

    Electric Camper

    neohic posted a topic in The Pub

    Interesting concept here. Why not put electric motors as an assist on a trailer? https://newatlas.com/automotive/thor-dethleffs-electric-camping-trailer/ I like new ideas like this to keep consumers interested in an old idea. This brings up addition thoughts on my head though: With electric pickup trucks coming down the line and battery life severely cut down with heavier loads, how about supplemental battery banks under the trailer to feed the tow vehicle? Giant trailers aren’t going away but the need to move things should be considered when mixing the idea with an electric vehicle. Thoughts?

    Anticipation is still progress.

    Rad! I’ve always loved this truck. About six years ago I met Troy and saw this truck out at his storage yard. It was lowered then and I really wanted to buy it off him. At the same time I was planning my move from MN to CO. Obviously, I didn’t buy it but I’m glad that someone did!… and then again! Thanks for the updates. Looking forward to more.

    Need a set of 5.29 axles? https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/littleton-dana-30-and-dana-44-for-xj-mj/7426378518.html

    Bummer to see you sold the Comanche. Stoked to see this build though.

    Goodbye AMC HQ

    neohic posted a topic in The Pub

    We’ve seen the last AMC dealership closing recently. Next in line is the original headquarters that was used build in 1926 and used through 1975. Sad to see old buildings crumble but I’m sure the original engineers would be proud to see their products still on the roads. https://www.thedrive.com/news/43674/amcs-hq-will-be-demolished-to-erase-ruin-porn-from-detroit-says-mayor

    I thought so too but somehow I’ve won a couple days?

    This just might break up the used taillight market. Figure how many times we’ve seen prices like that on a pair of “useable” lights? I think these are a great option.

    Dang! Sweet set up!

    I like overkill ESPECIALLY when overkill and quality go hand in hand. These little boxes are kind of a manufactured memory for me. Seems as though that almost everyone’s dad or grandpa had the old kitchen cabinets repurposed out in the garage and they were always filled with little wood boxes made of drawer fronts, 1x4s, or warped old bread pans. Then they’re always filled with random screws, nails, and rusty hinges that had little chance of ever being used again. Sometimes there’s that fancy garage with an apothecary cabinet but it’s still stuffed to the point that the boxes either don’t close or are jammed shut. Very rarely would anything leave these little boxes. Hang a new mail box or build a bird house with the grandkids?… you know that old garbage went in a box and forgotten about after the creaky doors shut. I really enjoy simple things like that. Not that I plan on filling my new boxes with tetanus coated tchotchkes, but the next guy might.

    Welp… it’s getting cold again. Progress is still happening though! This morning I went into work to try and tackle a problem that goes way back to shop #1… hardware storage. Forever I’ve put up with the cheesy plastic bins with the terrible metal racks that fill up counter space. Over time they crack and fall apart while the rack eventually bellies in the middle and folds in like a card house if you try to move it. I’m over it. I work at a cabinet shop… don’t tell anyone. I’m still a metal guy but wood and I have a common agreement based on proximity and employment. We’re a CNC shop and I drew up parts to fill a full sheet that’ll make 20 of these finger joint boxes. Some will go here… … once I build out the steps, and some will go high on a shelf under the loft. Maybe I’ll make more? We’ll see after I figure a shelf. Not exactly priority type work, but work none the less. I’ll need storage solutions once I start unpacking more boxes.

    Rad!

    Does that main hoop fit with the interior plastics and trim still installed also?

    Moving this to Tech for more members to see it.

    I’ve been at my parent’s place for MULTIPLE holidays where a major appliance has failed. Cooking dinner?… oven crapped out. Fridge full of food?… warm and spoiled. Never the same appliance, but there was a time that it’s all we talked about was “what’s it going to be this year?”

    CC cookbook

    neohic replied to jdog's topic in The Pub

    Long time lurker… first time poster here. 3 apples or 4 peaches 1/2 stick butter 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice 1/4 cup brown sugar Slice the fruit into 1/4” half moon slices. Remove the core/pits… obviously. Put it all in a bowl and add the lemon juice. Let it sit for a minute while you get the rest of your stuff together. In a medium sauce pan add the brown sugar, butter, and (full knowing it’s not on the ingredients list) throw in a splash of liquor or your choice or maple syrup. Add black berries too if that’s what you’re feeling like. Cinnamon? … why not? Start the stovetop at medium heat and stir the sugar/butter/liquor/whatever until mixed and all liquid. Add the fruit. Let it all cook down for about 20-30 minutes continuously stirring. Once it all caramelizes turn the heat down to low for another 10 minutes or so to thicken it up. Put that gooey $#!& on pancakes, French toast, ice cream, cinnamon rolls, or whatever else that gives you that cozy day feeling. This is kind of a free for all type recipe. Add to it! Enjoy however.
