You young fellas do love your chrome😉

As long as we're on the topic though..... are there any more available?

My TJ hood latches solved all my squeaking issues years ago. Best upgrade ever......

Code if you live within 1 mile of the beach. But what really drove prices insane here was hurricane Ian. Many policies are being cancelled if the home-owner doesn't do a new roof and hurricane windows. Once your policy is cancelled here right now it can be nearly impossible to find a...

I hear you. My hurricane windows were nearly $60,000 for the whole house- with me installing them! 7 years ago I had an estimate to buy them and have them installed for $28,000. Man, I wish I'd done it then. Hardyboard siding had gone silly too: $14/ stick. When I built my kids' treehouse...

Installing hurricane windows all around, resheathing with 3/4" plywood and new HardyBoard siding. I have to do something to keep myself busy while I wait for my new engine.... Kim Dawson is making me look lazy. But I figure it might be hot, but at least it's humid. And this is what $750...

I haven't been to the telluride bluegrass festival in years. It's one of my favourite events; I'm a bit envious. And topping it off seeing that 8 is just icing on the cake.

I had that engine in my Hilux in Australia: 4 door, 4wd, air con, 31x10.50x16 BFGs. I averaged 32 mpg pretty consistently. I took it up the Stresleky Track loaded up with a roof top camper. Over 10 days I probably got about 20 mpg, but that was through a lot of sugar sand. I also pulled a...

You've sure got a lot of work benches Kim. You're an inspiration.

Diesels really like to run at their operating temperature. So you'll probably find you're getting a bit better fuel economy and maybe more peppy when fully warmed up.

3 pedals isn't extra: it's the perfect amount😁.... especially for new drivers. No better way to keep texting and driving to a minimum.

From my experience with Toyota injectors, I would say those are almost certainly original. Honestly, I never got less than 100,000 out of injectors. Sitting isn't good for them. Every time you change your fuel filter, fill the new filter with Seafoam. Then start it and let the Seafoam run...

Now even your trailer is nicer than my 8......🤔

Completely agree. Narrow tracks on aTDK frame is like wearing flip flops with your snow pants to go shovel snow. Spend the money on good axles and make due with your frame if you have to: snow boots with shorts of you will. That's where I would start the build myself. The difference in my rig...

4 cyl auto, so at least you know the 'moderate speed' part is true as 'moderate' is as fast as it will go, and that's downhill. On level ground 'glacial' would better describe the speed.

When I bought my silverado they gave me a 5 year, 150,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty for financing. I had to keep the loan for 1 year. I paid $3800/ month into it and paid it off at 12 months. Worked out to where I got a $3500 warranty for about $2000 in financing costs. Not great, but...

When Australia brought in the massive minimum wage tied to CPI in 2010 or so it was great.... for about 2 years. Then costs began sky rocketing. Never occurred to the government back then that if you pay a kid $15/hr to put milk on a shelf then milk can no longer be $5/ gallon. Funnily...

We had a diesel liberty back in the day. I babied the hell out of it. It threw a rod catastrophically at 97,000 miles whilst my wife was driving it to work. I replaced the engine with a used one with 42,000 miles and sold it. The next owner sold it a few years later. I've since lost track of...

Lucky for me, the 392 only comes automatic so I'm not tempted. That's one less thing I can obsess over thank God. Otherwise it would be all I could think about......

A TDK frame is a fantastic upgrade even on a rust-free CJ-8 in my opinion. These rigs were not very well built by AMC were new so I am firmly in the 'mod the heck out of it' camp. Enjoy the journey and you'll find everything you need to know on this site.
