    Anyone ever run a rear winch?

    I always wondered why winches were more common on the front of trucks. Always figured if you got to the point where you needed a winch you probably were stuck and wanted to get unstuck. by going backwards, not go forwards and get more stuck.

    When did this become a thing?

    Use to see it all the time around Philly. They camber the wheels out like that so they can lower the body more and wheels tuck in. they also run way undersized/ narrow tires on stock size wheels for the same reason.

    What’s for dinner tonite!

    My wife made a whole 20lb turkey for the two of us. They used all the meat to make frozen dinners. We have 6 pot pies, lasagna with threaded turkey, and turkey enchiladas filling up the freezer. I always like the cold turkey sandwich’s, but didn’t get any because we used all the leftovers.

    My $3,500 Jaguar - The 'Mad Jag'

    My 60 year old co worker just bought a Jaguar F Type. He wanted a new truck since his just got totaled, but couldn’t afford one that wasn’t beat to shit. He said he thinks it’ll help him pick up women. This commercial does not speak to that demographic.

    Yellow vs. White Fog Lights: Which Do You Prefer for Winter Driving?

    Both vehicles I’ve had with fog lights were factory. My ‘11 Ranger has them on the bottom of the bumper/ valance do dad. Had an ‘01 Monte Carlo SS with a very similar location.

    Yellow vs. White Fog Lights: Which Do You Prefer for Winter Driving?

    The couple times I turned on my fog lights due to fog, rain, or snow I wasn’t able to notice a difference. Both vehicles I’ve had fog lights in were factory white instead of yellow, so probably not any advantage over regular headlights. If I can see more then 20ft past the hood there’s no real...

    propane space heater

    Always like the wick style kero heaters best, but I can’t get clean Kero at the stations around here. Had to get rid of them all because I can’t use them. Use tank top heater. Does not heat up the garage, but it’s better than nothing when it’s 2* outside. Have an attic that’s open to the first...

    Shrinking Alu / Shrinking Hammer?

    I’m not an expert expert, but I was under the impression That heat was needed when using a shrinking hammer. Heat the small spot, couple taps with the hammer and dolly on the back, repeat. There is a book called “the key to metal bumping” that goes into a little detail about it.

    What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    The big one is the socket for the wheel bearing nut. It’s spring loaded and internal to the axel, more like a bolt, uses a splined socket. Looks like a tone ring for a wss I think I also bought a tool for disconnecting the parking brake cable. ( after I ending up cutting off the driver side...

    What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    You can get a whole parking brake assemble from dornan with new backer plate and everything reassembled, for the 10.25. That’s what I did when I had to replace the backer plate, saves a lot of time. Need to replace the wheel bearing seals though to take off the whole assembly. Also requires a...

    Workshop manuals

    The B series manual is more expensive because it’s a used paper manual. The first link is for a USB with digital copy on it. Used hard copies can be expensive. Check to make sure you’re getting the whole thing. A lot of times there are multiple volumes for the manual. Plus the electric is...
