Valve adjustments are so much fun on a hot engine.... Finished that up last night. And started on dropping the oil pan to reseal it to the block. Hopefully I'll finish that one by tomorrow evening. In more important news: Got my custom plates boy! So stoked. Sent from my iPhone using OB...

Wandered down a forest service road in Plumas National Forest i keep my setup pretty light for now. it was a little cold for the hammock and ended up in the truck cab for part of the night. otherwise, it was great! by generalee2010, on Flickr

Graeagle, CA. it just looks surreal to me. i had to stop and take a few shots EDIT: i'm beginning to hate this lens. its terrible around the edges. i guess its time to get some new glass.

oh man i want moar pics of this. i have a soft spot for a good xj. especially nice and low and clean.

that cl post is gold. thanks!

the other thing you may look at is a ceramic coating, like cquartz, cerakote, or 9h ceramic pro. i've not seen many testimonials or whatnot from offroad guys. but it puts a much harder "extra" cleat coat on top of yours. i would imagine it would really cut down on trail striping. plus i've seen...

Slowly but Shirlee I may live in NV now, but I am #nevernotTexan my current 2 box/bike setup layout for overlanding/camping/travel

this is my set up. dont see it changing anytime soon. normally use local beans from any of the little roasters in whatever place i'm in. these are actually some i picked up in japan while there for work. very berry forward and delicious. otherwise its just: cheap Porlex hand grinder knock-off...

real work done to the truck in the last few weeks. i'll be dropping the oil pan to re-seal it this week. and do an oil change. it leaks oil right now like crazy cause im a dummy and didnt seat it well enough during the TC replacement. Custom plates will be coming in soon. nothing really to...

dang where was the info for this. i'd be interested in joining for the next one

always enjoy helping out a fellow Aggie. i went weather techs in my daily. perfect for what i wanted, to protect the interior from me. the husky liners seem to have a good following tho so i best they are a solid choice as well. listen to your wallet. edit to add: shoulda looked at the dates...

started doing this with my rx8 a while back. it was helpful cause i would track where i bought gas. Rotary engines are really sensitive all the way around, and you can tell when you get a tank of bad gas. i keep a moleskine journal in the truck where i write down every fill up with station...

Thanks! i got lucky and snagged a clean one!

Hey thanks! I had to reinstall all the emissions equipment cause I moved to an area that requires testing for vehicle registration. I hate the way it looks but it makes the truck run better. Yeah MT90 made a solid difference in how the transmission feels. It did the same thing when I put it in...

spent a little time near Donner Lake and in Humboldt-Toiyabe Nat'l Forest a couple weekends ago. it's like 10 minutes from my front door! Snow hiking in Chacos is fun! said no one ever

I also finished painting the texas flag in the bed. turned out exactly like i wanted! primed with white over #nevernottexan Lastly for this round. i did a bunch of sound deading in the cab. I bought a roll of Peel and Seal from Lowes and lined the door skins, part of the inner door...

i finished a bunch of stuff on my list in the last week or so. Got the horn wiring done, it was super easy once i took some time to really look at it with a multimeter and the wiring diagram. wired up in parallel. regular 1/4" spade connectors in the factory plug. EASY I reinstalled...

went out and found a nice little dirt road on my way home from work. I love living in the mountains now! and I couldn't pass up the golden hour photo op.

All that previous work was done while i was in Texas. I moved to NV in November, then i went to Japan for 4 months for work. during that time i ordered some stuff. when i showed back up to the states, it was like christmas! here is a rundown of my most recent work. Installed new heavy-duty...

repair conglomerate: Pretty much the first thing I did was use the truck to move, in the middle of a Texas summer. In the process, it overheated. The coolant was a nasty rust brown with some goop in it, so I flushed the radiator and block. I feared either headgasket or timing cover. Naturally...
