It would be even better with an early TJ from before they put a vent in the tailgate. My 06 LJ is quite noticeably flappier and noisier than the 99 TJ (both with frameless bestop) and the affect of running the blower is much less pronounced on the 06. I keep thinking about putting something over...

This is what I miss with the trektop. The rear corner "sail panels" are part of the window, so with my LJ, the windows are really long and don't easily roll up into a package that's practical to ride along. My previous LJ had OEM top and I regularly rolled them up and stowed them in the back...

Yes, I used vinegar. It took at least a day, 2 was better, and I found temperature played a role as well...it went faster when warmer.

Over 3 years I've come to the conclusion i might be better served with a framed top. I might post up locally and see if someone feels the opposite and will trade a super top for my trektop.

The tanks do seem to be the most common failure mode. That ends up convincing many that they need an all aluminum radiator, which if my theory holds water (punny haha) that would close the circuit with the engine block and may play into why those develop pinhole leaks within just a couple of years.

Generally true, but aluminum already is and will remain the least noble metal in the system. Copper is farther down the galvanic series than iron is, true, but the radiator has much more area to distribute the corrosion. The general rule for mixing copper and aluminum is that you want the ratio...

It makes sense if you think about it and watch that video. If the carrier needs to rotate relative to the housing then you need to turn the pinion, and that's only gonna happen if you turn it yourself, or both wheels are rolling in the same direction. If you have one wheel on the ground and turn...

I think I checked mine with both wheels off the ground, in neutral, and I spun the driveshaft by hand until it locked in. When I did it by spinning one wheel, it seemed to go pretty far and I got concerned, I may not have spun it far enough.

Like @sab said, Midlands are dumbed down, which IMO is a good option to hand to a wife or kids that aren't going to become gmrs enthusiasts and just need to be able to push a button. I have a couple of baofengs that I haven't even powered up yet but I'll save those for myself, and maybe...

Those heating elements are actually a wire surrounded by a ceramic filler (electrical insulator) inside a steel (or alloy like inconel) outer liner. The liner isn't electrified so it doesn't need to be insulated from the support brackets. Failures are usually a failure of the ceramic allowing...

What constraints and/or considerations call for this to be made of steel to begin with? I would have built it out of lumber in a fraction of the time and less cost unless I had a really compelling reason to believe wood would not work. A modestly clever carpenter could very likely use the right...

that was my hope as well but my google-fu wasn't good enough. I still think there's got to be somebody even nerdier than me that has it but isn't posting in any of the places I know to look. I'm not aware that the 2 does anything the first one doesn't...but I've only had the 2. I'm not sure...

When I got snipped, my urologists hot 25yo brunette assistant came in and checked to make sure I'd shaved as directed and proceeded to wipe down the ENTIRE area with an alcohol swab to prep for the procedure. I was uncharacteristically calm about it, but I credit the Valium they'd given me to...

agree. Just embrace it and build a look that people won't mess with you.

Definitely could be. All the values come through in binary, so if they're 16 bit their decimal equivalents will be 0-65535 and it's up to the tool to correctly interpret that into a number that makes sense to humans. I looked into this a bit last year but never was about to find the...

That factor doesn't account for varying interest rates or taxes. I believe they compare the total payment to your net pay and keep it below a percentage. When interest rose from 2.75 to 6.25 while I built my house in 2022 I was panicked that I wasn't gonna get approved because the new...

"Can afford" is bank speak for the threshold at which they believe it is still a good bet that you repay vs default. It's a statistical optimization, finding the perfect balance where being slightly more restrictive will make them less money by missing out on interest from those at that level of...

I always wonder if every good looking female urologist just assumes every patient she sees chose her for specifically that reason. Then I wonder if every patient she sees has considered that she believes that about them, and just don't care, and if I care little enough about being thought of...

It's been that way for decades. I picked up loan amortization in a college math class, everything else I got from my dad (bachelor in finance) or from experience. The post WW2 economic system depends on a continuing supply of good little consumers. They don't need a bunch of informed, free...

Maybe. Can't rule out that her parents and school district completely failed to teach her a basic life skill, and she doesn't know what she doesn't know. Also possible that she was told all about it and still chose to "live in the moment". Neither changes the end result, but it affects how...
