    Is Ceramic Coating worth it? (Yes!)

    I’ve had 4 vehicles ceramic coated now and people ask me why I spend the money. Well, here’s why. I had the truck done over 5 years ago when it turned 10 years old. I’ll admit I haven’t kept up on it like I should have since then but it’s done it’s job and last month it paid for itself when my...

    Summer ready?

    :lmao:  I'm waiting till after Easter to even think about dragging the ol Ski Centurion out of it's hole and taking the cover off to see what kind of disaster is waiting for me under there... @nzulmer Nice Sunesta! I've got my future eyes on one of those or a pontoon with a proper size...

    I can't drive 55.

    Unless you head into a bunch of wind, you should def see a noticeable drop in fuel consumption. With our Winnie, if I set the cruise at 57-58mph, it puts the Cummins ISL right at 1500rpms where it seems pretty happy. Once I run it above that, it really seems to kick up it's drinking problem. She...

    Towing with class C motorhome

    We went from a 38' 5th wheel to a 35' Four Winds 34G super C on the 5500 Kodiak chassis with the Duramax. Power and brakes were amazing, ride and handling were awful. I pulled a 16' flatbed with a Jeep ZJ on it, scaled about 6500lbs so total combined was just shy of 26K lbs. Problem with most...

    How is your view from work today?

    Dual clutch trans out of this 2018 RS3 today for a trans fluid leak. It’s turnt to the moon on E85 and I already put a new engine in it 12k miles ago after #2 rod knocked holes in the block. Turns out the main input plate for the dual clutch finally got tired of the repeated super aggressive...

    Lifted jeeps in weekend warrior 5th wheel

    Sounds like you’ve got the frame part handled. As far as the rear jacks, are yours the scissor style or the single leg? The scissor style is what I had and they can deal with actually supporting the weight and still be able to be cranked back up after loading the Jeep in the trailer. I don’t...

    Anyone else Hot Rod their motorhome?

    Took a month but finally got the muffler. aFe MachForce XP. Nice unit that’s bigger diameter and much more heft than the Aero muffler. Sounds much different too. Haven’t taken it for a drive yet to know if the shriek is gone but much less “fart” type exhaust note and a whole lot more turbo...

    Stackers- Universal or Santek

    I don’t have any experience with stacker trailers but have towed numerous trailers for people over the years. This monster Santek gooseneck was by far the nicest towing trailer I’ve ever pulled. Even completely empty it was an absolute hoss but ran smooth and straight as could be up the 5 to...

    Buggy Hauler type trailers

    Doing research, still a ways off from upgrading but curious if folks have feedback or suggestions on brands that make 18' deck length 10k rated wide-deck buggy hauler type trailers. A couple that pop to mind right away are the MaxxD H5X Buggy Hauler and the PJ B5 Channel Buggy Hauler. Not...

    Tennis Elbow (Lateral epicondylitis)

    Being a mechanic for the last 20 years has taken it's toll and have been dealing with it in my right arm since latter part of last year. I wear the brace thingy and have tried to be mindful but it persists. Short of going to the doc, curious if any of you have had any luck with remedies or ways...
