    10 year picture challenge.

    What are your thoughts on the snaps for the bed cover? I have an original nutmeg one but never could bring myself to drilling all those holes. I wish I could find an adequate rail system for it

    10 year picture challenge.

    I ordered it from Toledo in '84, while stationed in Germany. Picked it up in Alabama when I transferred there. Then took it to Italy. I drove along the coast a lot, great scuba diving on the West coast. I lived in Livorno for 3 years, 20 minutes from the leaning tower & 1 block in from the...

    Bikini top options

    Yeah, in my opinion which to each of course, might as well keep the hardtop on then. It weather's much slower. But like you, for 3/4s of the year I love the options of throwing a Windjammer on, half uppers on, modular-speed in case of getting caught in a storm. I camp. a. lot. I'm digging the...

    Good info. Mine is pushing 2800+ rpm if I go over 70. It has more in it but I'm trying to resist pushing it for now. It definitely struggles in the mtns... not pushing it at least. It has a mild RV cam, holley sniper & is bored out. This was with the doors & 1/2 top on. Pic for reference...

    LS covers are horrid - alternative idea

    I'm mildly curious as Summers coming & in 50* weather I could fry an egg in many places 😂. Thinking about a bigger air cleaner, heat shields, braided lines, vents possibley and anything else to dissipate heat more efficiently. Hooking up my heater would be a nice start, for added circulation. As...

    I haven't figured out an average spg yet but tracked the mileage from my last outing & just need to remember to go straight to the gas station and fill up next time I drive it which is tomorrow. But it's got to be close to 13 I'm guessing As far as the Jeep/ice cream day I need a contact...

    Mine is very happy around 72 on straight aways with plenty of skinny pedal left.. Tracks nice, doesn't wander but needs to be aligned still. I can see, though, how squirrely it can get, fast, if you get behind on "steering prediction" 😅 with a Detroit in the rear 😅. It's not happy yet going up...
