Usually it's the o rings going into the rear evaporator that fail. Or the hard lines on high mileage and salt exposed vehicles. Hope they used Nylog Blue on the new ones. $1000 for a rear evaporator replacement is very fair, it's an 8 hour job (at least for me on my 100). If it leaks again and...
Not terrible. It just takes a lot of time and beats up your hands. The first wheel took me like 3 hours, then maybe 1.5 hours each for the other 4. Definitely a full day project. Get a proper set of tire irons to make life easier. Coyote has a real good install video online.
Resurrecting an old thread. Giving them a try on my 80. Bias ply Maxxis Trepadors keep burping air and blowing the inner bead, even with an outer external beadlock. I have to air them down to 8-10 psi to get the sidewalls to flex because they are so stiff. Install was not fun, but it looks like...
Moab Prep. Installed some pneumatic inner beadlocks. Even with external beadlocks, I was still having issues burping air or full on blowing the inner bead on these bias ply Maxxis Trepadors. They have a really stiff sidewall so you have to air them down to 8-10 psi to get some flex, which caused...
If someone is buying based on interior space, then a Sequia would be the way to go.
Yes, the 3UR has the edge on HP, but the flat torque curve on the TT6 and 10 speed transmission make it feel quite a bit faster. I've only driven the LX600, but it felt noticeably quicker than a 200. I bet the...
Saying a 3-4 year old 200 with a minimum of 20k mi put on by someone else and just out of the factory warranty is better than a new GX550 that tows more, has more HP and Torque, slightly better mileage, 10 year newer infotainment system and safety features, factory rear locker, E-KDSS, and still...
I think it looks good and is an efficient use of a small space, but as others have said, definitely make at least one side (non window side) wider to accommodate storage, cabinets, and working space. Even space for the lift column on that side will be tight. The windows look good, but will...
Joe Hauler or Versahaul. These are a bit more expensive, but use a tensioned wedge at the receiver to reduce wobble. Cheaper carriers are also bolted together, not welded, and wobble a lot. You can make a cheap carrier stable with a little additional DIY fabrication and welding.
Even with a...
I've had my 12.5 tank for a little over a year now and just experienced my first minor issue, which is 100% my fault. My wife went to fill up and said neither tank would take more than a few gallons, even though both were empty. I also got my first CEL, something about insufficient "evaporative...
Here's the waterfall at the end of Golden Spike.
And this turned the run from "ahead of schedule" to 2am finish at the same spot. Hence the recommendation for extra food, water, and clothing.
I was in an 80 last time I ran it, but there were 2 100 series in that run. There are a lot of "optional" lines so just put a similar wheel base length vehicle in front of you and watch how they do. Easy on the throttle, this is not a trail to explode a CV on.
The "waterfall" towards the exit...
Hoping on Hells Revenge on Thursday, Kane Creek on Friday (in an 80), and Arches or Chicken Corners on Saturday.
If anyone wants to do Fins N Things Tuesday or Wednesday, it would be fun to get a small group together for a pre CM run.
Ha. No pun intended, but i see why they are called fowl. I had to clean up after a few for a high school summer job.
We are going to stick with just the chickens. Maybe a few chukar to train the dog with.
I almost scheduled the pour day off from work, but then realized that it would probably be best if I was not there! The concrete sub is coming back to pour the rear patio, and I'll pull the kids out of school early for that so we can write our names in the concrete.
For animals, I do a lot of...
