    TJ in South Africa - roof, doors and milk jugs off

    Thanks, I've learned a thing. I've seen TJ's in many countries but never with those cowcatchers.

    I don't recall ever seeing the full coverage bumper covers. Are they OEM?

    What did you do to your other vehicle today?

    While transporting Mexican catering for my kid's grad party, I didn't consider how the Archimedes principle applies to food grease in chaffing pans. The overflow from the rear rubber mat channeled the grease in to the body harness cavity on driver and pass sides. Tesa/fuzzy harness tape had to...

    First trip to western Europe

    The Normandy coast is a must-visit destination, IMO. You'll need a rental car, though. The many tolls from CDG/Paris to the Normandy area are quite expensive ~$150USD total, IIRC. I stayed in Bayeux, seen the tapestry. You'll gain a deep sense of awe and respect after seeing what the Allies...

    Bus songs

    A friend and I took Greyhound from Louisville, KY to Ft Lauderdale to retrieve a car when we were 17. It was a very memorable 27hr trip.

    New favorite tool: clamp pliers

    I discovered those while maintaining a '09 VW TDI loaded with tension clamps crammed in tight spaces. They cut down my fits of rage by ~65%, do recommend.

    A couple more updates. Adding the Key 200.4 really reinforced the need for bass. A Rockford Fosgate P500-12p popped up on Marketplace, with bass knob and plug, for $150. Grease marks are sticky velcro residue from the previous owner. So long cargo space, for now. The enclosure fits between...

    Help Needed: Pilot Bearing

    Give the bread or damp paper towel removal trick a try. Skip to the 0.00.40 mark in the video. I've used both successfully before, but using long socket turned backwards on an extension. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00OlG5E8vLk I tried grease once. Was not fun. Do not recommend.
