    UV window protection on stock glass?

    Do you or someone you know have eye glasses that get darker when exposed to the sun? This would be a great test to understand level of UV making it through the glass. Background: I put 3M film on my windshield and side windows to cut back on amount of sun in the cabin. My rear glass was...

    Doug Great road trip story. I hope you have a resource for the VW that is as good as an equivalent to 'mud. Sounds like you are going to need it. ;) Thanks for sharing. -KK

    OEM Speaker Size & Subwoofer Upgrade on Lexus LX-450

    Rich, here's a link to my stereo installation pics. Polks in my signature line will fit with little door modifications. And, they sound great. If I had it to do over, I would have created a thin spacer ring for the rears since there is the slightest rub of the window mechanism against the...

    Consensus on braking issue

    Loose wheel &/or trunion bearings can cause this condition under braking. Ask me how I know. :mad: Have you checked your wheel bearings for proper preload? What are the condition of your trunion bearings? x2 on what Doug said: "...unsafe to operate until you figure it out." -KK

    Alternator rebuild / upgrade question

    Birfield Caked with Grease

    With 120K miles on the vehicle, I suggest you do the front axle rebuild. There is a great write up in the FAQ section, and elmariachi sells a DVD which gives further insight. Before you start the job, degrease while everything is still on one piece. You'll thank yourself when you realize...

    Dashboard driving crazy!

    Nick- I have been following your blog, and read about the salt water. Between the diesel / oil bath prep and the salt water, I suggest you check the ground on the back of the transmission to the body. It is near the tail shaft of the transmission. Other grounds I can think of to check are on...

    285 Goodyear Duratracs - performance in the snow

    It's been my experience that Michelin's get really hard when they get old. Hard = poor traction...especially in the wet. Also, low tread depth from an old tire is going to hurt you in the snow. -KK

    285 Goodyear Duratracs - performance in the snow

    No "hard core" mudding exposure. I had it off road in a previously harvested corn field. Lots of ruts with soil condition that was moist to muddy. My buddy's H2 with half worn BFG ATs got stuck. Zero issues with the Duratracs. Also had it on ATV trails in the woods, uphill through moist...

    285 Goodyear Duratracs - performance in the snow

    Reporting back after 4 months of Duratrac use. Good background thread here. You may have read / heard the news about the snow fall that's run through the mid-atlantic states recently. Before (1st storm over the weekend yielded around 1.5-2' of snow): After (2nd storm during the week yielded...

    Speedo gear housing on transfer case is leaking

    Just went through this a couple of months ago as well. Only difference was that mine was that corrosion froze the speedo gear housing to the transmission housing. PB Blaster did the trick, and the O ring change out was easy after that. -KK
