    Where/How to mount my old school Sun Tachometer (NOS)?

    Get the regular mounting "foot" for the tach The hole goes where the wires come out of the tach; there is a knurled nut there that you take off, put the bracket on the tach, and reinstall the nut to hold it in place. Then you can use a hose clamp to hold it to the column. Or, years ago, I...

    Do you dread family gatherings?

    We lost Dad in '16. Moms 88 now and still ornery as ever, she'll probably see 108! She's in FL , I'm in MD. She's got a bf who's a mooch. Lazy mf. Comes to the kitchen in the morning and sits his *** at the table...and waits. For his coffee. For his bagel/muffin. For his meds. For his juice. I...

    Travel Florida mid December 2025

    Have you looked into things like AirBnB? Lots of nice neighborhoods down that way, I'm sure some are "seasonal" homes. St Augustine is beautiful, about 1h north of Daytona up the coast. And you can still drive on the beach there! It'll be chilly, it is NORTH Florida. I don't know when...

    Any Jeep folks here?

    Oh, mine RAN fine....it just pinged like crazy under a load, regardless of RPM. Usually under 2k these 4.0s ping under a heavy load. Mine pinged no matter what RPM; no matter what temp. It was BAD. Idled fine, ran fine under light load, but give it the boot, or pull a grade...and it rattled like...

    Locked My Keys in My Truck $#&!

    My '91 Daytona came with something similar, right from Dodge. It's a credit card that you keep in your wallet, with the spare "key". Not a bad idea, really...

    At SEMA...

    Those handles appear to work the same as the OEM handles on my 2014 Grand Cherokee...hand into the "hoop", pull, the "hoop" hinges at the front and pulls out at the back, and the door opens. Over 100k miles on mine, zero issues (and, the OEMs have a sensor in them that, if the fob is in my...

    Any Jeep folks here?

    My world fell to ****, so I didn't get to make the parade - but at least I finally got my deadbeat tenants evicted! Jeep-wise, I FINALLY fixed the ping in my TJ! This thing has had a massive detonation problem since I got it. I've checked injectors, fuel pressures, used injector cleaner ad...

    The latest annoying trend: notched spoilers

    Whatever the reason, we need to bring it back. I've thought about getting a spare roof lip spoiler for a WK2 Grand Cherokee and making something similar for myself...

    At SEMA...

    The grille thing on custom '70s may be an attempt to tribute the '69 500. This one, though... I do love carbon fiber though. And you CAN do a colored fiber in the weave, if you want to have color AND the bare/clearcoat weave look. Lots of motorcycles do it...but that's much smaller real...

    The latest annoying trend: notched spoilers

    The only spoiler I've ever had do anything at street speeds, is the one on my 72 Satellite Wagon: (this isn't my car, I don't have a pic of it on this computer so I grabbed one online) Takes air coming over the roof, and pushes it down into the void behind the car. It actually CLEANS the...

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    First coat of polyurethane on the rental floors today. It's a semigloss, should dry less shiny... Well...at least one of them is right side up. I'm high from the fumes but even *I* can tell that's not right.....

    Bug removal from front end of our old cars??

    Don't use it on bike chains though, it attracts and holds sand and grit which'll kill your chain and gearset in a hurry. 0

    Wheel Wednesday

    I never understood the fascination with the fake beadlock bolts...I think they look like crap, AND they're a pain in the *** to keep clean. I was looking for rims for my 2001 Ram 2500 a while back, and everything I found had those stupid bolts on them. I ended up going with gen3 Ram factory...

    Alerts not working?

    I've done that. In the past, worked great. Recently...not so much. It's not a glitch...it's a "feature".

    Bug removal from front end of our old cars??

    Pam cooking spray. I use Pledge furniture polish on my motorcycle helmet visors, inside and out. Helps bug removal (outside) and works extremely well as anti-fog (inside). And it smells nice!
