    I didn't know that! Might have to upgrade the treehouse HVAC 😎

    What did you do to / in your garage / shop today?

    How much is not that expensive? You still need to have somebody come fill it up I assume?

    What did you do to / in your garage / shop today?

    Not that it took long to heat up my little shed, but I wanted more direct heat from my heater which is especially helpful for when I'm only going to be in there for 10-15 min. I was going to mount it at an angle but didn't want it taking up that much space all the time. Found a returned TV...

    HAM Radio Is Dying — And It’s Our Fault?

    There are different implementations of the channel restrictions. My Wouxan (sp?) 50w mobile works at described above; 1-7 on low power only, 8-14 RX only, 15-22 full send. The little bubble pack Amazon FRS walkies though are all over the place. I have seen some only do TX/RX on 1-14, but most...

    Yes, as mentioned, Jezza does a summary of all the different mods and his thoughts on one of his later videos.

    AX15 4.31:1 Low First Gear Conversion Q&A

    I picked up an NP241 to solve exactly the thing this would. My highway gearing is perfect with 4.10's on 33's and a stroker. My crawl ratio sucks bad though. I wonder if this would be a better option to installing the 241. I'll be keeping my eye on this!

    It just happened!

    As opposed to the ones that are easy? 😄

    Low Exhaust Back Pressure

    Check out this page from Summit Racing https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mel-cl-mc1377?srsltid=afmboor4xrjwlzej_faxgxu71zijbxfv9klup9pa2d_c1y8kzvh3bnp4 Description makes it sound like a mild upgrade, but I think it's probably just general marketing gobledeegook. I am not familiar with stock...

    Project Snowball: My daily driven LJ crawler / hot rod / wanna do all build / IDK what to tittle this , "My LJ"

    I'm not familiar with them. I have an Apexi ECV on my TJ off my old Skyline but it's kinda the opposite idea of a cutout. I know a guy at work with electric cutouts on his Cobra replica and has no issues with them. I can ask the brand. I wonder the advantages/disadvantages of vacuum actuation...

    Get an electronic cutout so you can be selectively loud--like loud at 3am, then quiet when the cops show up the next morning to chat 😄

    Low Exhaust Back Pressure

    Yeah, my wife isn't down either, and I have spent a lot more than 5 min trying before.

    Low Exhaust Back Pressure

    Back pressure is 100% a bad thing and there is no small amount your 4.0 "likes" or improves low end torque. Hot oil pressure should be 12-18psi at idle and somewhere around 40-60'ish driving down the road. If you got higher readings than that, it wasn't warmed all the way up yet. Or you are...

    One other thing I just realized is the Dana 44 I ordered has the larger JK 8.9" ring gear. What size is a stock TJ Dana 44 ring gear?

    It's probably about to ship I'd guess. Fusion is actually who I bought it from. I guess I could always reach out and ask if they have even started on it, but it was a black Friday order so I'd guess so. One important thing for me is the length of the pinion i.e. how long is the drive shaft...
