I’d go with a Jeep Cherokee. You can always bum parts from David Tracy, and if something goes wrong, just try to sell it to him and he’ll come fix it for you.

Is Amsoil really that much better, or do people who pony up for Amsoil just take better care of a car overall?

Seriously? It’s just welded to 13/16" or 21 mm sockets on some sort of ratcheting adjuster. (Might be off on the sizes, while I have an FJ, I can’t be bothered to verify sizes for this comment.) Two points of contact with load would give it considerable friction.

I was thinking the studs would shear before the gears/spiders had any issues.

With used prices being what they are and interest rates on used cars being higher, it isn’t making sense to buy used. Hopefully you tell your clients this and encourage them to buy new for the same money - exceptions being discontinued vehicles, like the FJ Cruiser, where clean, stock, 10-year-old examples continue…

I like Nosecone, but what are Musk’s plans for the other 4 members of Computron?

For $60, damn right it better be perfect.

The term “public transportation” fails to clearly label this mess for what it is: government transportation. Understanding this is important.  Government doesn’t care if the choo choo train runs good and shows up when it’s supposed to. And unlike a commercial solution, government doesn’t go out of business if it…

The problem is it’s a 2000. Despite the reputation for longevity most 4.0 Cherokees have, the 00-01s are cursed with the self-destructing 0331 head. Despite it being a mint example of what a 17-year-old XJ was, discerning XJ buyers are aware of the head casting issue and I suspect their offers will force him to…

That got a 20-second belly laugh from me.

Growing up, my parents owned an 1,800 square foot ranch home set in the middle of an acre lot. I only mention this because the house, along with the creative parenting skills of my mom, is why I’ve only been bored twice in my entire life.

What if the trailers had extra batteries for longer hauls, independent of the truck, and the truck only had its own short range system?

This video shows us which configuration moves the fastest over the initial ~375' but...so what. Aren’t most trucks are on the interstates where stopping and going is not a factor? And just because the truck is capable of launching at a certain speed, it doesn’t necessarily mean doing so is good for the cargo.

I owned an 87 Chevy pickup for about 15 years that had no AC. The secret was knowing how to keep moving. I never hesitated to take the long way so I could avoid traffic and keep rolling. Keeping rolling keeps the wind blowing and helps keep you cool. I only say “helps” because I live near the coast between the…

And why does your car overheat? Usually it’s because of a leak or crack in the shitty plastic sides most radiator manufacturers are using now.

Used Kindle prices lend themselves to buying a refurb or a sale Kindle, rather than used. I bought a Paperwhite a couple years ago in an effort to read more. The end result is that I have read on it every single day, whether in my own bed or in the rooftop tent on my FJ in the middle of nowhere.

I have boxes upon boxes of Transformers, He-Man, Superfriends, etc. Glance at eBay prices for a used G1 Optimus Prime or Thunder Punch He-man. Toys are not necessarily a bad investment.

I was under the impression that David Tracy’s yard was the Jeep museum?

I was vaguely terrified of my chances of this after seeing it on an episode of Baywatch. lol
