Tire choice is another obvious and larger difference I didn’t even think of. It’s hard to say if they were running too much PSI - those guys looked like they knew what they were doing so I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I know my MTRs barely looked aired down and I only run 7-8 psi

Wheel base and suspension had far more to do with the discrepancy than diesel/gas vs. electric

T’s & P’s to the guy that is going to wrench on one of those in hopes of a restoration

You’re an accountant with no understanding of non-profit accounting. The interest earned on most endowment funds is also restricted (earmarked) for specific purposes. Flip open your FASB guidance one time...

I’m not a photographer in the slightest. Hell I just got a smart phone a few years ago and was blown away by the camera. Even I can tell 90% of these photos suck

Not gonna lie, a lot of those were fucking terrible photos

right? Thousands of dollars in cleaning equipment but they can’t spring for a torque wrench haha

Never in my life have I heard of a A/T tire described as nubby

Please don’t tell me you live in springfield

Bunch more sanctimonious pricks in the comment section today than usual. Has anyone seen the work Nakai-san puts into these cars? They are rolling pieces of artwork filled with passion and desire to create something different. Many of these cars he personally hand builds (how many companies can say that..) are tracked…

Why is the tach sideways?

Except when you said “you’re never going to use what it’s capable of” in the summary. Or “handling capabilities you’ll likely almost never truly test” and “speeds you never, ever will *go* in the last paragraph. Or “overkill from what 99% of its buyers will use it for”

Thank you. If I had to read “it’s too good for someone to use” one more time I was gonna boycott this stupid fucking blog. If this was written about the 5 or e63 those words would have never been typed..

Perfectly summed up my thoughts. You know how many JK44's and 241's are gonna be hitting junkyards in the coming years from all the JKURs that were daily commuters?? It’s going to be glorious for us TJ guys as these swaps become more and more popular

NEVER LIFT.

Uncle larry needs to get with the times. Optima batteries have been made in Mexico for nearly a decade and the quality is shit. Tire shine and similar products are mainly water based causing no damage to rubber. Don’t use bosch plat+4 plugs only on engines that are very finicky with plugs

Work right on mass ave past central...no idea this track was active

God bless rednecks

Realllllllll aggressive claim to say you outwheeled locked/equipped vehicles with your open/open clapped out beater

similar to this article where everyone shit on the riders despite “police/security”? That last pic sure isn’t a closed road
