Short version: embrace digital distribution; games should be cheaper.

You nailed it. TDI Wagon.

This Escort is more of a Jeep than some Jeep models.

Someone put that man in a Wrangler with the doors off in an american beach town. He'll be a lynyrd skynyrd fan in 10 minutes.

Good luck with the build; if you think of it, share a link when you get started. :)

Brazilians like their tracks BARE. Maybe they'll rearrange the toppled cars into a lightning bolt or something.

I've owned two of these, and have heard the uniframe moniker a bunch, but this picture made it clearer than any of the discussions I've had. Thanks.

This guy is building a Wrangler Brute on Portals and a JK frame. Amazing work.

Great job; great pictures. Not too much detail for the scope of the article, but hit all the big points.

I think they haven't been done well yet. At least in the ones I've tried. Let's look at it differently:

Why the hate for Aerostar? Body-on-frame RWD with a good engine... we went through 4 of them as a kid. Dad loved those things.

I'm also building a Brute. Do you have a build thread somewhere?

Can I take this to mean that two people can log on to one Gold account at the same time for Netflix, XBOX video, etc? HOORAY.

Anybody else think of Stephenson's REAMDE?

Was going to say the same thing.

I keep buying mk4 era VW TDI's for my d/d because I really like them, but also because I know all the things that are probably going to go wrong on them. That shimmy in drive when sitting still? Not the engine mounts, random mechanic. It's the axles. The difference between the loss of power from a bad MAF sensor…

ah, you beat me to it.

"Toilet Water"

I'll agree that the 3.6 was awful. I can't speak to the trans on the JK but the TJ ones were never all that great until the last couple of years. At least the autos. The 32RH sucked, and the 42RLE was never as good as it's competitors (in my opinion). The AX-15 was a good manual in stock and lightly modified TJ's.…

A little idealistic, but..
