Do you not remember the guy who went ape sh!t about this being a family site?!

Because a 13 year old boy is coming to Mud to see bikinis. He’d be more likely to see a bunch of hairy feet in flip flops. :notworthy:

I would be embarrassed to tell anyone my 13 year was that stupid to come to mud looking for bikinis. But then again maybe the dad had Google blocked. :rolleyes:

I feel my generation was cheated all we had was Sears bra ads but they worked:p

Truth! And JCPenny...
 
Took mine to the carwash the other night, it was a brisk -29C, so I toweled it all off before heading home. Made the mistake of trying to roll down the windows so they wouldn't freeze shut...too late. Popped both driver's side windows out of the channels, spent the next 4 hours or so pulling the doors apart to put the windows back in. Had to remove the front door window visor to get the glass out/in, so spent another 4 hours or so removing the double sided tape from the visor and the door frame. Tried a bunch of methods but WD-40 and a Skrapr tool seemed to work best. Nail polish remover to get the last of the glue off the visor, and I'm about to try isopropyl alcohol on the door frame. Had to buy new skinny double sided tape to put the visor back on, by the time I'm done I'll have spent about 9 hours fixing that bonehead mistake.

What a PITA, I really miss having the car around for backup as it meant I needed to get the windows fixed ASAP as I needed the truck the next day. I am enjoying having one less vehicle around to look after though. It's a double edged sword.
 
New tie rod ends...alignment, balance tires after weights flew off, paint correction/detail...
I think I’m done for a week or two

I had to explain to my children why some words are meant for adults.

Generation Z as they call it, has no experience without the internet unless they have no access, which is not common. They learn faster if motivated, but know nothing of the Dewey Decimal System, b/c it is all but extinct. That said, the web has made info easier to get, and fact check. I look forward to being able to contribute my experience to this forum.

Back to 80's. Had her about a month now, only had time to have my shop do the master brake cylinder and fix a brake line. Radiator came in, hose kit and rad cap from Wits End, intake and exhaust manifold gasket kits came in from felpro, thermostat for toyotapartsblahblah, and belts o-rings, and then ordered the remflex intake and exhaust manifold gaskets b/c I heard they are more forgiving somewhere on this site. Will compare to the felpro when it comes in. Also does not hurt to have a back up if I botch something up. I'll have to wait for spring to do any real wrenching on her myself and cant wait. Would not have the confidence to even buy a 91' 80 w/o this site. A big thanks to everyone here. Here is to a healthy, happy and prosperous new year!

BTW - They new rig is starting to ring up its tab, and I have 4 vehicles now, so time to thin the fleet. I've got an 86' CJ7 which I hate to give up, but must go to make way for the cruiser. The Jeep is tight, would rather offer it up to people here than straight to craigslist, however, being new, I don't know if that is cool to do here (in the for sale section). Any opinions?View media item 64100

Installed freshly wrapped steering wheel only took 2.5 hrs, not in cold 80, did it in the comfort of warm house. Came out really good, this is the 3rd wheel I've done.

Somebody posted wanting to know what temps people were seeing from their heater.

Outside temp: -11F
Vent temp: 185F (it actually got to 190.1 but I’d put my phone away already.
Engine temp: 153F

Engine was at operating temp. Had been driven for approximately 30 minutes. I was stopped and idling.

Found ice. Also opened up the ice shanty because I heard rattling around in it. Turns out the fawking mice got in to it as well. Chewed it to pieces. Bastards!

So we ice fished without shelter for an hour. Caught a baby trout. Try again tomorrow!

Amazon, fit good not perfect but I'm the only one that will notice.
 
Went and spent a few days in Anza Borrego, the weather was about perfect. Saw @bajaphile out there as well

A little clouding and 75° made for a nice AZ sunset on the way home
