In my mind’s eye two-toning the door only looks good if it were to have a trim strip across the center of it to line up with the seam in the body of the camper, having it match one or the other looks good IMO, and as stated below it’s how his wife wanted it, and I can’t speak for Mr Brownell, but Mrs BigBadSubaru’s…

My older cousins had one of these when we were kids, I’m pretty sure it was this exact frame or one extremely similar to it. Only had one engine but we had a lot of fun with it. They brought it over to our house once when I was probably 8 or 9, and my grandfather made a roll bar for it out of some pipe and welded it…

One of the local dealerships in Portland (can’t remember which) offers a lifetime powertrain warranty, but if memory serves me you have to have all your maintenance/service done there or it’s void, and if you skip a service it’s void as well. 

I think he’s going for maximizing the interior space while minimizing weight of unnecessary converter boxes and such. Personally, I’d just wire a battery tender up to trickle charge the batteries when parked (Or an automatic charger that was capable of running all the interior lights + fridge + charge batteries) and…

I used to have one of these, although I had the larger version https://www.mrheater.com/portable-buddy-heater.html but it kept me warm in a 16x30 shop, so this smaller one would probably keep your trailer nice and toasty. They also have a cheaper one that mounts on top of a 1 lb propane cylinder. Both of these can be…

23 here! Although to be fair the newest one was a 2005, and it digested a turbo at 80k or so, thankfully my ex-wife knew enough to shut the car off and get it towed as soon as it started making funny noises instead of “Oh I’ll just floor it until the noise goes away” like some people... 

My cousin came to visit once and left his license at the liquor store the night before, which he didn’t realize until I was dropping him off at the airport that was 90 minutes from my house. Since he had other things in his wallet with his name on them, plus his boarding pass from the trip up (with the proper markings…

When I dragged my 68 Dodge Polara home, after it had sat 10+ years, I put a couple of squirts of Marvel Mystery Oil plus some marine fogging oil in each cylinder and turned the engine over by hand a few times, new spark plugs + some fresh fuel in the carburetor and, using a screwdriver on the starter relay, it fired…

They’re pretty much unicorns, but these were available with a 5 speed manual trans, and those models had a normal manual transfer case with LOW RANGE and not the electronic full time thing the slushbox models had. 

Best I’ve gotten out of mine is just shy of 24, when I moved back from Wyoming the box truck I rented was governed to 60mph and WAY detuned, and my mother and my now-ex-wife were following my dad and I (They were in my truck, dad and I were driving the box truck) and I think it was a combination of the basically doing…

Mine is a W250 with a 518a (727 with overdrive) and a 12 valve Cummins with under 200k and will probably outlive me too :-P

That’s what I’ve got, an extended cab long box 4x4 that I bought from the original owner in 2004. Sadly, it’s an automatic, but once that gives up the ghost it’s getting a six speed swap. 

My folks just bought one, a 1970 I think. Got it pretty cheap from my uncle’s estate. It was originally a soft top as God intended but it’s got this super ghetto homemade hard top thing on it, I told my dad he needs to put it back to the soft top :-P or get the proper hard top for it, not one that looks like someone…

I’ve always considered “classic rock” to be 60s and 70s and to an extent 80s, depending on the band (like REO Speedwagon and Styx I would consider classic rock, where stuff like AC/DC and Iron Maiden I’d consider more Classic Metal but my local “classic rock” station plays both... SiriusXMs “Classic Vinyl” and…

lol it got me COTD once! 

I can get a 7 year or so newer Sequoia for the same price and get more power and NOT have a shitty 90s GM interior. CP 

Came here to say this, maybe they meant 1990 and fat fingered it :-P 

And, of the legendary 22B... 22B is 555 in hex ;-) 

sticky-outy bit, is that a technical term? #COTD

Do what I did. Prius for the commute, use the $ you save for something fun for the weekends. Although in your case, I’d probably go for a Leaf instead.
