What have you done to your vehicle lately?

[Lonesome Dove]

Put out the fire!
Carb adjustments and draining the float bowl. Gas drains on old Tshirt the Tshirt get pulled out to soak up the valleys on the intake Right?
Well I left the key on and the electric choke wire got snagged on the Tshirt and detached hmmm Hot wire = spark.
Spark and gas = fire.
Circle on the floor was the Tshirt burning. Motor was lit up as well.
Moral= always have an extinguisher on hand.
Never FKN ending around here.

We bought a 1973 Thing brand new.

Man I abused that "thing" when I got my learners permit.

Sancha got new brakes and actuators rebuilt. Tomorrow is new gaskets in the top end of the engine. Any Lycoming mechanics are welcome to join! Push rod tube is leaking so everybody gets a new seal.

Took the Humvee out this morning to a car show and got this!
I won the 4X4 class.

Picked up a Jeep WJ 4x4. 2002 with 71K miles.

Installing a modest 2" lift and a set of 32" Toyo Open Country A/T III tires along with a few other odds and ends.

It should get me about 12 inches of clearance. Should be plenty for getting out and about the areas we usually hunt.

2" lift and 31s is what I put on my 04 Land Rover Disco II. Just enough to get anywhere I want to go, but not enough to tempt me into trying stuff I have no business on. Put on a new left-rear hub and front drive shaft recently. Had been driving with 4-lug nuts for well over a year and figured it was time to have 5 again...

Rebuilt the Holley carb today since it got sprayed with the fire extinguisher the other day. Hope it works?

There's a solution if it doesn't.

I don't do transgenders.

Actually if it comes to that, let me know. Can't promise it won't end up with a 5.0 / TR6060 combo though.

Before:

After:

Just an easy, modest lift. It did get my clearance up to just under 12" though which should be enough for what I will use it for.

I am leaning towards putting a winch bumper on it just to make sure I have some aid in getting out if stuck out in the woods.

Nice

I put a 2.5 inch lift on my son's 94 model years ago
I think it was a Rustys but I don't remember
It wasn't high enough to mess with pinion angles that's what I liked.

Break my heart…. What did it go for if do not mind sharing?

 

[General Zod]

I just re-applied the black duct tape that holds one corner of the bumper on...

Tape the other side to match, to keep the aerodynamics balanced.
