    Quickjack thoughts?

    For when you want to rotate the vehicle?

    Quickjack thoughts?

    I use the 4-post well over 10 to one, but part of that is that I prefer working outside. Also, it takes a bit of time to position the arms of the 2-post.

    Quickjack thoughts?

    That buys a decent 4-post. Do you have a lot of low clouds, or what's limiting your vertical clearance? Yeah, I know, they're not necessarily supposed to be outside, but my cheapy has lived in the great outdoors for at least eight years now.

    Batteries

    Guess I could sell the OE battery in my '18 to Hunter. It's still doing just fine.

    Anything new out there?

    Is that seven toys or seven registered? I consider all my vehicles toys, registered or not, since realistically I could do without all but one of them. But what fun would that be?

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    You're basically saying that I'm getting younger. Our past two "winters" have been warm and practically snow free. Hell, there's still green grass in some spots.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    C'mon vortecd. Surely you must have noticed that '71 is a bit, shall we say whimsical. But it's nice that he finally admits it, and in writing.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Wouldn't go as far as calling it "best". Sounds more like a somewhat isolated part of a basic city clusterfuck. For example, what would happen if you decided to rapidly empty two 30 round magazines of .223 behind your house, just because you felt like doing it?

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Two cars?? I wish. It's not bad now, but during tourist season there are times when I have to wait for a while at the stop sign if wanting to go north when entering the main road. Which is if there's a vehicle within a 1/4 mile. South is no problem, it's a merge. Then all I might need to do is...

    Considering used Wrangler 392 - thoughts?

    You're close enough to Mark Dodge, for example. They usually have great pricing, no idea if their trade-in values are any good. I had a slightly better price from Mark Dodge, but took my relationship with my regular dealer and the extra distance into consideration.

    Considering used Wrangler 392 - thoughts?

    Yeah, I couldn't resist. MSRP was $44K and change, and when getting it for $40,164 (I think it was) combined with a good trade-in value on the somewhat tired '19 V6 Durango...

    Considering used Wrangler 392 - thoughts?

    Buy the vehicle, not their stock.

    Considering used Wrangler 392 - thoughts?

    I paid just a hair over $40K for my ordered '26 Durango GT AWD. And I'd much rather have two of those than a used 392 Jeep. Or a new one for that matter.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I often leave the ear protection on after running the noisy tractor, grinders, etc. since it's not completely quiet here - cars drive by on the road, ravens and magpies make noises. Even more quiet is nice, I think. And I don't need a warm wrench, it just helps my hands feel better. Sleeping is...

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Dang. I almost had my girlfriend talked into buying it yesterday evening.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I do want to hear things, in case there's something that doesn't sound right. Wouldn't want to mask one noise with another. Have been blessed with nearly complete quietness for so long that I'm beyond used to it. There's a reason I don't stop at motels at night and keep driving instead. I...

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    With arthritis in my fingers (too), a warm wrench is SO much nicer to grab than a cold one. Kind of the opposite of when working outside in SoCal and having to wear gloves because the tools got so damn hot in the sun. Last spring I was forced to endure the air in Phoenix one night. Needless to...

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    That number rings a bell. I've also seen 49.1 hp on an MSO. Don't remember which vehicle...but it sure wasn't a D170.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Would've never thought of it if the little garage in the guesthouse hadn't had floor heat. It's absolutely great to pick up a tool off the floor and it's warmer than it was in the toolbox. Another big plus is that it's quiet. We had forced air in the house in CA, woke me up every time it came...

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Don't forget to leave "open spots" for the lift when routing the tubing for the floor heat. I had 2x2x2 foot "blocks" poured in the floor where the lift would go. Unfortunately the contractor's drawing was off by a foot, so sure enough, I drilled into the Pex on the third hole.
