Oh they are not my creation, I purchased them from Paco Moto. They are available as a kit so I just assembled them.
Gladly! Basically they attach flat-faced to the hubs and allow you to take accurate measurements. Each stand sits on 4 rollers, which are just big ball bearings, and they can roll smoothly in any direction with very little friction. The white upright sections pivot on a big bolt under the base. Through a series of…
Also on board with no-thank-you to the slideshow so I have no idea what might be recommended. I did just finish putting these sweet hub stands together like two minutes ago though and I can’t wait to do my first alignment! I know they’re not for everyone, both in necessity and cost, but these would make a sweet gift…
Those wheels SLAM. I want a set.
Easy JK swap? What are the chances?
I love this on my pickup. Keypad all the things
It’s funny, I read the headline and thought “Bummer, I didn’t have a covid project.” After reading through the replies here though, I think I actually did. I bought a 2020 ND Miata mid-covid when the deals were too good to pass up. My job has been wildly busy this summer and free time has been in short supply, hence…
I think this is dead on. When you bundle a feature into only the basest of options, it’s going to look like it doesn’t sell. The same thing happened to the 2 door VW Golf/GTI and non-crew cab pickups. If I sold Snickers bars in a package along with a swift kick to the groin, my Snickers sales would look terrible.
This legitimately makes me want to cut the windshield off my ND.
This is gorgeous. The current model is a travesty. The E30, 36, and 46 M3 all share the same fate with this double-barrel hoover nosed abomination.
Heinous! THAT’S the word I was looking for! Thank you!
I had one of these in 2014. I liked it well enough but the experience just wasn’t the same as a Golf/GTI “plus a trunk”. I test drove a mk7 GTI in ‘15 and traded up. I do think it’s a very handsome and well-appointed car though and I am fond of it.
I’m a big fan of intermittent wiping. I’ll hit the ‘mist’ single wipe feature (except on Ford pickups where it’s on/off to get one wipe, wtf) for the entire drive if it doesn’t rain enough. If it does rain enough, I will meticulously manage the intermittent wiper speed to the absolute minimum wipeage to do the job. May…
I feel obligated to comment and agree. I’ve had a JK as my daily for 8 years. I picked up an ND this summer and it does indeed feel like a McLaren.
Oh I agree completely! The 3.6 Pentastar in my Jeep is more than enough to idle me up about any obstacle out there in 4lo. That predictable NA powerband is great for applying throttle at barely non-zero speeds and I don’t think I’d want a turbo in that application. In fact, when the 3.6 gives out (or I get bored…
This is dead on. My brother had a ‘16ish F150 with the Coyote and I’ve had both the 3.5 and 2.7 ecoboosts in a ‘15 and ‘18 F150 respectively. The 2.7 is livable while returning a real world 21mpg. The 3.5 was buckets of fun, with additional buckets of fun from a 5 minute premium gas tune, while still giving me up to…
