I'll have to agree with you. I was stationed in Colorado Springs when I was in the Reserves. One summer I got to work on the pit crew that would refill the system when it landed. It was by far the most rewarding thing I did in my six years of service.

I'd find the Jeep issue pretty suspicious as the entire vehicle was changed in '07. It is a completely new suspension, heck the vehicle itself got five inches wider. To have a defect like that that somehow spans from one vehicle to the next seems pretty unlikely.

You should try learning on a 76 CJ5 with a stroker motor. It's cramped, has the longed stiffest clutch travel you can imagine, and it wants to spin the tires with the slightest bit of goosing of the throttle. I'm still a little mad that my brother decided to sell it, it was the least sensible car I've ever driven and…

I think the best combo is something with a low first gear and a fair bit of low end torque. It makes it harder to stall the engine and less stressful for the learner. My 05 Rubicon is a pretty easy car to drive in that regard. The only thing that could make it easier is a bit less clutch travel. All of the faster cars…

Oh I understand, I lived in Gulf Coast Mississippi for a while and humidity there was not my friend. That said single digit humidity or even when its in the teens sure does dry out the skin and my sinuses. I can admit growing up in the rocky mountain region, I hadn't heard of a dehumidifier until my early twenties. I…

The one we ended up with is a Kuul Aire model PACKA53, which we bought at Sam's Club. We also found some that were comparable at Lowe's when we were looking for ours. The model we bought might be a little overkill for your needs but they do make smaller units. The companies website is pretty serviceable for checking…

We live in New Mexico where humidity is all but non existent. We bought a small swamp cooler (the kind that you fill up with a bucket and you can wheel it around) and it has been awesome. It will cool the top floor of our home (where all the bedrooms are, around 1k sq. ft.) sufficiently that we can keep the thermostat…

It's an older model Wacom Bamboo, I think just the last generation but I'm not positive. I think it was called the Bamboo Fun.

Siverstone is one of my favorite case makers and this one is pretty dang small. It also fits any video card up to 10".

As a Jeep enthusiast I don't recognize YJs as real Jeeps. They kept everything bad about the CJs and rolled into a new crappier body. The suspension was terrible, they dropped the option of the V8 and most of all...They Don't Even Have Round Headlights!!!

now that's something I can buy in to. A small hole in the part you cant see...sure. a hole right in the middle of my not all that inexpensive of ties...just can't do it.

My problem with tie tacks is that to use them you have to pierce your tie. On many tie fabrics, that hole doesn't go away. The your stuck always wearing the tie tack with that tie. Or else people wonder why you have a hole in your tie.

It looks as though your seat bolts to the frame, am I right? you could try a trip to Lowes to get some new carriage bolts (they're the ones with the rounded head), nuts and some nylon spacers/washers. just put a few under the front two bolts are you should be able to get rid of the forward lean.

DVDFab for me. I rip everything to .vob format for my media center and then use Handbrake to convert to .mp4 for my portable devices when needed.

Actually LPG is a common term in America and is not the same as CNG. LPG is normally propane or a butane propane mix. CNG is Compressed Natural Gas, consisting mostly of Methane. Chemically LNG and CNG are the same except that LNG requires cooling to maintain the gas in a liquid state.

Also, see the ICON Bronco that was cross posted here from Gizmodo a few days ago. Everything on their site had flat paint, and nothing goes cheap. In one of the videos on the site, the builder mentions they go for roughly 170K. You'd think for that much, they could afford to put some gloss in that paint.

Engine and tranny sit right about where you do. There's actually a sizable hump between the two seats that covers the top half of the engine.

Thanks, now I have another dream project car... I can't begin to describe how awesome that could be with a few small changes (starting with the paint).

Probably for the same reason Ford was still building this Falcon until 1991 in Argentina. From what I understood when I lived there, Ford sends all of there tools and dies down to Argentina when they are removed from more modern plants in the US and elsewhere. As for the Falcon, they gave it a nose job from time to…

Tacky or not, I think I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for this style of cover. I remember growing up, several of my Dad's trucks and Broncos all having similar steering wheel covers.
