I always wanted one of those Citizen Blue Angels but the size seemed daunting.

I’ve considered finding the wife a lower mileage one and keep driving this one. This one is about 95% rust free. Id venture to guess there is a lot more rusty 2023’s driving around than this one. Funny, I actually am considering picking up an early 2000’s Chevy 2500 for similar reasons...

I think I have severe mental issues. My wife drives about 18,000 miles a year. When my duramax blew head gaskets I sold it to a friend. I then bought a half ton hemi ram for my wife to drive as we wanted/need a truck. She likes all the features but is tired of the truck. She is now back to...

There’s a lot of research to be done there. It ranges from anything is better than nothing to don’t ever put anything on it as its lasted this long and will last best with no oil. I oil the metal and leave the handles on my stuff.

Understood, for that sake I would put your favorite gun oil on the metal and your favorite boot oil on the handle and call it good if you want to hang onto it. It’s a great piece of ww2 history and your value range is probably reasonable even as is. The market has softened some in the past...

That is a rare knife. A lot of M3’s don’t have the M3 and manufacture stamped in them anymore. I am not certain the appropriate conditioning method but you absolutely don’t want to restore it for value sake, you simply want to help preserve it. Now for some people value is not everything. If...

I didn’t realize with the engine mounts I used for my v8 swap a body lift is required. In reality it worked fine until I tried to add AC.

32” are probably the “ideal” size for that lift. Im on 33’s and will probably be adding a BL for other reasons too…

This one isn’t nearly as sporty and fun to shift as a T56 or other sports car transmission but I really haven’t had any issues with it. It is far better to shift than the NV4500 I had. I strongly would have considered running it with the 4.8 swap if the adapters were still available. I...

You trying to have my wife kill me? Maybe…

A spare engine and ECM doesn’t hurt either…🤣

Selling my 4.0 and NSG370 from my 2006 LJ, pulled to LS swap it. Garage is a mess around it, will try to clean up and get better photos. Includes: Engine Transmission Shifter Master and slave Full exhaust (1 cut in it) Wire harness Ecm Drive Shafts Radiator Can include tcase that needs...

Ebay does not allow the sale of authentic trench knives for some reason, only chinese copies. This one popped up early AM for cheap with awful photos. I took a chance on it, it was way more rough than anticipated (the blade that is currently with the handle did not come with it). Risks we...

Tacoma TRD Off Road oem front suspension (Bilsteins) are a direct bolt up to your 4runner. I am very happy with them on my 2007 (they fit 5th gens too). The 4runners are so soft and weird to drive stock. Bilsteins or similar are a requirement.

Sorry, late to the game. My stock 4.8 is exactly what the Jeep should have come with. It’s sufficient, but it’s not fast or thrilling by any means. I don’t really know that I am happy I chose the 4L60.
