I just installed a 120v inlet similar to what our ambulances and fire trucks uses on one of my fenders. It powers my charger (ctek 7002 installed) if parked indoors, and can run my charger, block heater, and battery heater as well if plugged in and below freezing. NOCO GCP1 15A AC Port Plug...

To replace the timing chain the engine and trans have to be split, though that’s very highly unlikely to need to ever be done in the field. The chain on my oldest M50 is at 256k miles now and the only reason it even got a set of chain guides at 160k was b/c I pulled the head anyway to bump the...

I jumped into a D1 when I found a rust free example a couple years back and it’s the furthest build from an import I’ve ever seen imported. Nearly everything in the engine is readily available and CHEAP due to the rover V8s Buick origins, and the axles are beyond simple utilizing the same...

Waiting for the dealer in Atlanta to call to go over my build and firm up the rest of the process/timeline. I confirmed once the dealers were announced after seeing who they went with for the first ones.

I caught in the video his friend is 6’7” and was sleeping in the ‘gren in that configuration which makes me think I can probably pull off 6’ without having to fiddle with the front seats so much.

Wow my ARB 50qt is within a pound or two of that, I’m kinda impressed. Heck my RTIC cooler is within a few pounds of that once I get the required ice in it.

I would forgo the battery box entirely. 1. Make sure your starting battery is stout and the largest that will fit in the available space.(if not I generally replace it with the largest agm I can fit) 2. Figure out your solar panels and their mounting. (I stuck 110w of flexible lensun panels...

If you wanna save the money on the turn plates 4 cheap 12x12 linoleum tiles from amazon($10 for 10) with a smear of bearing grease between them(2 per side) will allow the wheels to move as needed during home alignments.

Patiently awaiting the US prices in the configurator. Cannot wait to see if I can build one in my price range. Everything I've seen on the grenadier seems to indicate it may be what I've been looking for something that can actually compete cost vs work wise with completely restoring and...

I'm VERY interested to see the technical manuals, BMW builds motors for multiple international markets often with quite varying specs. It's very possible that ineos could have requested a more robust international variant for this vehicle, but I will believe it when I see it. If not VANOS can be...

Eh it caused a bit of a different issue for me, ALL my lowers are approved and stamped as SBRs. All were assembled and documented as pistols prior to registering as SBRs save one pair that were purchased as rifles. All eligible were frequently temporarily reverted back to pistols for travel into...

if I want ice cubes for cocktails and such i've found my small yeti/rtic style drink cooler with a block of dry ice then a small bag of ice keeps them frozen for several days far easier than trying to make them on the spot while camping. i will turn the fridge down to keep ice cream frozen but...

if you are looking for a home for that second D1 saudi grill I volunteer as tribute lol

Looking sharp!

Popped above the 45th parallel for a bit to see family. Lighthouse is in the mouth of Georgian Bay, ON

I played with adding aux lighting circuits to my '14 FJ in a similar manner. I didn't like what would have I had to do to really make it work like I wanted to integrate with the factory circuits so I just added my own. I used solid state control (feniex 4200) for the aux lights and utilized a...

I'd check the fluids, the lights, and the tire pressure and roll. Granted I'm the guy about to roll my '99 D1 back up into to Ontario for a funeral in January because I don't trust my wife's newer Audi Allroad so far as I can throw it regardless of how much time or money I or a master Audi...

Locally our KME fire trucks have absolutely lived up to the "keeping mechanics employed" saying.

If I knew how many times I'd tell that story to people in my later years back then, I'd have taken pictures. It's often brought up when people tell me they "don't have anywhere" to work on a car. My general thought on the matter is that they haven't properly evaluated the FULL potential of...
