    SSV Works Alpha 12 digital smart switch

    I came across this switch controller from SSV works that I think has some better features even compared to Switch Pros - both in terms of programmability and in terms of extensions. Thought I would start a discussion thread on it. Note that these go far beyond the usual Auxbeam and similar...

    Grabar USA - out of production?

    It almost seems like Grabar USA (the originators of the fantastic A pillar mounted Grab bars for our jeeps) may not be in business anymore. Not a single one to be found online, and the website doesn't go anywhere. No facebook updates since 2022 March. I will be giving them a call tomorrow but I...

    Jeep Liberty Gen1 ("KJ") - who has owned one?

    I've been pondering about an XJ replacement for a while and I am thinking to buying a used KJ (2005, Liberty 1st gen) to replace my XJ. I am looking at the 3.7 V6+42RLE combo. I will keep it stock. Who has owned one of these, and how has your experience been? Any important things I should be...

    Affordable forged alloy wheels for 35s - an experiment

    For those that have tried to find the "right" wheels for 35s, especially for use with locking hubs, you know the struggle. By "right" I mean the optimal combination of diameter, width, backspacing and bolt pattern that have been proven to work well by those in the know. Recently, I started...

    The Good Design Thread

    I love reading about industrial design and have come to really appreciate items with good, thoughtful, purposeful design. The originality of the design (ie the IP aspect of things) also really matters to me in a very deep way. Over the years, I have come to the point where I am not willing to...

    Japanese Kei cars - Hagerty video

    This is a very nice video from Hagerty/Jason Cammisa. I really like the content they produce. I've always thought that the small kei cars/trucks in Japan were quite interesting, but I never knew they had performance cars (within the limitations of the spec) in that category! It would be quite...
