Live to Ski

other than mileage, sounds like a good find. No rust/documentation trumps mileage issue IMO.

what road kill chemicals do you speaketh?

I'm headed out of town for a week. will try to remeber on my return.

i'll throw this in as it's kinda sorta relevant: When loaded for "overistering" (overland toursting as that is what it is), I cover the entire load zone (behind front seats all the way to tail gate) with a load restraining net. For the forward...

brings back nightmares....mid 70's to mid 80's Rhode Island/vermont (winter road salt) 😭

Hi Woody, I'm in a discussion on one of the forum threads ( Dissent or Slee Rear Bumper - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/dissent-or-slee-rear-bumper.1337112/page-2#post-15452926). I tried to post an additional comment but for whatever...

well...this frustrates the hell out of me that these vids were not in existence during my install. I have no doubt that mine probably is mis-aligned. what is not shown is the 90#-lb torquing. the smallish ratchet does not do justice to the large...

the cassette adapter I use is blue tooth. No wires. Otherwise the same.

Main advantage is just audio quality, plus reliability I suppose. Shouldn't really need any manual input or visual attention after initial setup. Doesn't really make sense to do if you're invested in a tape collected though, thanks for the feedback!

Yes, they are and on the website. I'll be updating the inventory on those too in bare and red powder once back from powder coating. Jason TT https://trail-tailor.com/store/p106/Tow_Point_Spacers.html

does not the computer adjust timing based on knock?

are spacers sold seperatly? reason: have those tow points installed on stock front end. anticipate arb (or simalar) front bumper in future.

anything relevant to newer ('04+) years?

not sure what the advantage is over a blue-tooth cassette gizmo. Also, not sure about others, but I burned a huge amount of time in my youth makeing custom tapes. Have not got around to digital tranfers. Super easy to just throw a tape in vs...

I chose dissent because: a) no cutting of frame cross member (I believe a cut is necessary for slee....could be wrong). b) swing out effort....not too bad, the ramp/friction pad is good. c) comes in pieces...easier to handle on purchase...

I shamefully backed out due to low "fuel in my tank"⛽

now that is some serious shade tree mechanic work. Looks to be well done.

worth breaking in: you would be suprised what people break into. case in point.....owned a highly used vw golf ('86). absolutly bone stock w/o even a radio. parked in driveway. someone pried the dash out to steal a radio that wasn't even there...

during my install, I cross threaded one and tried to force it. It would not seat. backed it out, ran a tap through, went in like butter and straight. :cheers:

wood fires are allowed in metal containers in anza borrego. I'm brining a small diameter weber bbq w/o legs. If you bring firewood, the adage is "buy where you burn"......prevents non-native insect transport.

riddle me this: how do we encourage this service....subscription, small added cost, or ?

I'm in.

No help here :bang: To avoid said problem, I always buy bone stock rigs and do any mods one at a time on my dime....paid to professionals (I know enough to shoot myself in the foot). Even then, trouble can happen but at least you know where to...

Make sure to factor in the following w/r go cheap: 1) cost to r & r winch 2) mental cost Old new England adage: buy the best. Wear it out. Fix it up. Do with out. Me/myself/I would buy middle of the min/max price points while looking at the...

Post 20+ years? It is definitely relative.
