Mahindra has an office across the freeway from mine. Hopefully FCA will let these “Jeeps” be on sale soon.

Watching the original Bad Boys film last night, have not watched it in many many years, and damn’t if Will Smith’s Porsche is not absolutely gorgeous in the film. 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 to be exact. I love the wide body look of the wheel arches, the giant wing on the back, no cup holders (for those that remember…

Heading out this afternoon with 3 friends to the UP (Michigan’s upper peninsula to others) for 4 days of riding and camping. Will probably end up being ~600 miles by the time we are done, starting and ending just north of the bridge. First time camping out this long, made it interesting to pack clothes, snacks, tools,…

Wife has a 2014 Escape, FWD and for the past 2 winters I had to push her up our driveway if there was more than an inch of snow on the ground. We planned to purchase new tires before the snow hit home (SE Michigan), and picked them based on reading TONS of review for all season tires and how people said they performed…

This took way more effort, time, and people to put together than I was expecting and the result is amazing. Better than Gymkhana videos

Doing an axle swap on our Jeep, since the stock gearing is 3.07 and I found a set of axles with 4.11 gearing that are a bolt on (front is Dana 30, rear is Dana 35, same as our current). Before attaching though, they need some work. The diff is perfect for having 129k miles, almost no lash at all, and seals are great.…

Our 1994 Jeep Wrangler project was in in need of some upgrades for the interior, so we decided to use the Herculiner kit, $90 from Amazon.

I’m looking to replace my truck with a newer, slightly used Ram 1500. Came across this one at a local dealership and was shocked how low the price was. So I had a 2 simple questions to the dealership.

At Silver Lake Sand Dunes last week with our jeep and a group of friends. We spot a mammoth tubular frame 15 ft high (to the roof) truck, that from looks alone had 6 figures of money invested into the build. And then I noticed the wheels.....

2015 GMC Sierra with 47,000 miles, bought it from a dealer just over 1 year ago with 26,000 miles. The other week I noticed a slight vibration in the front end while braking. I got home, pulled the wheels off and checked the pads, still had at least 1/4" of brake pad left. Over the next week the vibration started to…

Back in May my wife and I talked about buying a YJ (1987-1995 Wrangler) as a our weekend toy and project vehicle. Requirements were it had to be a 4.0L and had to be a 5 speed. We were lucky enough to find a 1994 with only 63,000 miles on it and for $5,000. Being this is a 23 year old Michigan jeep, the amount of…

This was in the bay next to me while I was getting my oil changed. I felt poor just looking at it. Then I remembered the reliability of my truck will greatly outlast his car.
