Needed for an adventure my son and I are talking in August to a part of Oregon with almost no fuel available for 100+ miles. and we plan on wandering around out in that so with a 10.5...

Done about 1500 auctions on eBay maybe 50/50 buyer to seller. In that time since 2000 I have had a couple people not pay me (I don't ship until money in hand) I have had a couple people send me junk compared to what was advertised (less then $40 items in both cases) One of the guys that wouldn't...

I have enough different hobbies I can baffle anyone. But you know what when I roll through town in my tricked out 1948 Willys jeep the girls wave and smile. SO the rest of them can well I'll skip that part in the interest of a PG rating LOL.

Well in this case the size has very little option. As to ported or not I went with not and I stuffed the enclosure with some Poly fill. And while it does not sound like the Shrine of the Vintage Pioneer. It sounds pretty damn good compared to other simple car stereo installs I have done over the...

So I am finishing up a Hard top I have built for my 1948 Willys jeep and in this hard to are two storage compartments in the ceiling that are 2.5" D x 11" W x 22" L. These will be used to keep Emergency supplies with the jeep pretty much at all times. This will include food and water as well as...

Willys built Air compressors from the 134L during the war and for years after by using two cylinders to compress and two cylinders to power. As to cutting down an engine into a V6 my Dodge 3.9L V6 in my 98 Dakota is a cut down 318. excellent engine with almost no bottom end torque. But at 240K...

Good I would really hate to disappoint them. Here's the thing about EV's until the single mom with two kids working to support her self and family can afford to buy one they will never be more then a small part of the market. Its just not going to happen.

In fact I will be able to completely rebuild my 98 Dodge Dakota with a rebuilt engine transmission and minor body work it needs and repaint job and new interior and still have enough for 2.5 million miles of fuel.

600 to 800 a month in fuel?? What were you driving and how far? Even accounting for the exchange rate to USD that would be 445 to 594 USD currently fuel here is on average 3.10 per US gallon to burn up 445 USD in gasoline here even with my 98 Dodge dakota at 18 mpg I would have to drive 2583...

Well I am trying to keep my trailer all up under 1500lbs as the jeep only has about 80 HP to drag it along with.
