Good information and that does make a lot of sense. That seems like something Jeep could address in time, but it would definitely require some real engineering adjustments to do.

Getting a transmission and t-case should be no problem, since the hemi is used in 4wd rams, grand cherokees, durangos and AWD chargers and 3oo's.

my short wheelbase chevrolet trailblazer had a 6500 lb towing capacity with a wheelbase 3 inches shorter(113") than the 4 door wrangler (116"). I towed plenty of things with it and never had a problem. It towed as well or better than my current crew cab silverado (143"). That being said, I did tow a few times…

they have a billion different wrangler models, but I don't understand why they don't make a Hemi wrangler, with better towing capacity.

Welcome to the new America. They put DRM and endless warnings on all media you purchase because a fraction of people steal them. They check receipts when you leave Walmart and a number of big box type stores because a fraction of a percent of people shoplift. They crack down on guns ludicrously because 1 in a…

It's actually designed to be a place to rest ladders or 2x4's, etc, with tie downs. A t-shaped post comes up out of the tailgate to the same height, pretty much eliminating the need for a ladder rack. I thought this was one of the coolest things in the ford concept.

Both the Z/28 and ZL1 are described as having a TR6060 close ratio transmission. Is it documented that there are different gear ratios on the Z/28?

I've read it's as much as 300 lbs lighter and as little as 60 lbs lighter. I don't know if that's been truly established. Even so, the rule of thumb I knew drag racing was that 100 lbs was good for another tenth of a mile in the quarter. 100 horsepower added to a car can take off upwards of a second in the quarter…

I'm a bit baffled by the Z/28 with 500 horsepower has 3 seconds on the ZL1 with 580 horsepower? I read that they're only 60 lbs difference in weight, even assuming the Z/28 is carrying a bit more speed in the corners, that's a pretty serious horsepower disparity.

So they renamed the first Z/28 to ZL1 because "it didn't have enough power," only to turn around and release it with a less potent engine?

I did online dating from 27-29 years old which led to a 4 year relationship. Then again later from 33-34.

Agree 100%. Just the "I tended to get a lot of messages" is completely uncommon for men. Men are expected to make the first contact and it's completely expected by most women that they have no expectation of responding - or moreso responding quickly. The whole "Later" folder discussion in the article completely…

I've had a C5 corvette for about 7 years and I can honestly say that while it had its faults, there was absolutely nothing that made me the least bit interested in getting rid of it for something else until fairly recently.

That because a 20 or 30 year old car by X manufacturer was awesome or terrible, the new version of it must be the same. The cars literally have no common parts, except maybe the brand badge. There have been advances in engineering, technology, safety, performance and manufacturing. Brands have chosen to go very…

I would also point out that the older consoles generally do not look good on an LCD or plasma tv. CRT tv's had a lot of color bleed and game designers used that to mask large pixels and for color separations and shading. They will look pretty terrible on new tech tv's.

tldr on the above post - s-video is actually a better signal than composite, significantly so.

I would put an asterisk on that - from Component up to HDMI, it completely depends on the source signal. You can't really specifically rank them like that. Especially considering DVI is the same as HDMI without audio. All of those connectors can carry up to at least 1920x1080 pixels video, but down to 720 or 640 x…

that's so obvious - i can't believe I missed it. Well that certainly makes more sense, although to be honest, having the ladder that's less firmly attached seems even more insane.

Beyond it just being a ladder, it's a ladder that ends on top of the desk. That looks pretty difficult to navigate and puts the iMac there well in harm's way. Good idea, bad execution

best part of this is seeing a 2014 silverado 1500 without the massive silver/chrome grille. That thing is awful, but this I like.
