    UAP hearings

    I just finished watching all of the hearing, there was a lot of "I can't discuss that in an open setting" or "yes biological material was recovered but I'm not authorized to discuss that here". So when and where is a setting these "people in the know" can discuss what they know? They get right...

    Carvana rant. Not even 10 minutes off the truck....

    I wouldn't put aftermarket parts on an Audi, the OEM parts have been engineered to perform to their design specifications, the aftermarket stuff not so much. The reason aftermarket equivalents are cheaper is because they are inferior parts. I wouldn't worry about some shocks/struts that are...

    Just an idea if you dune alone sometimes...

    In the past my spouse and I have made trips by ourselves with the buggy, sometimes we just had no one else to meet up with so we loaded up and went to the dunes. When we're by ourselves we try to keep it toned down a notch or two, we've never had an issue that we couldn't get out of. I think...

    Carvana rant. Not even 10 minutes off the truck....

    Those Audis are neat cars. We had a V8 with the dual clutch trans on the lot about 2 years ago, it was different. This one had some kind of exotic German aftermarket wheels installed on it, I had to replace 1 of the tire pressure sensors. The drop center of the rim was on the inside so that...

    Carvana rant. Not even 10 minutes off the truck....

    Im a used car recon tech nowadays, chunks out of the sidewall is something I deal with on a daily basis. While I always recommend new tires on a car that has that type of damage, not all of them get new tires. There's no concrete rule about it, it isn't written in stone, it's pretty much up to...

    Calling All Weddle HV-24/HV-25 Owners...

    My 2nd gear shift has always been a little clunky with even a bit of grind when cold but it's nothing i'm worried about. There's never been any serious metal in the oil other than the usual metallic sludge on the magnet. I have been using the Maxima oil and it did seem to help. I dune while...

    Do You Use GPS/Navigation In a Sandcar?

    We use the Lowrance to mark points of interest and things like that. Its also useful to get a general sense of where you are. If someone breaks and we needed to go back to camp to fetch a part its way easier to accomplish that with a waypoint. Mine is a Trophy 5M, it was like $495 or something...

    Register RV in AZ

    Ain't nothin cheaper in Az anymore. The Montanna LLC thing sounds like a good option, until the state you actually live in finds out. I don't personally know anyone who does this or has been caught with Montana plates, but I hear the fines are making it too risky for a lot of people. IRV2.com...

    Double disc clutch adjustment

    And by all means add a stop to the clutch pedal, there is no sense in pushing on the pressure plate fingers any more than is necessary to let the disc slip. And to take it one step further for those who have super heavy clutches, it's never a good idea to keep the clutch pedal down while the...

    Small Twin Turbos vs Supercharger - School me Please

    Understood. It's just a preference, run what you like it makes no difference to me. FWIW my LS2 engine is N/A with a carbureted intake manifold, a Holley throttle body EFI and great big old school air cleaner, everyone said don't do it like that it'll never work right. In reality it works...

    Small Twin Turbos vs Supercharger - School me Please

    One of the guys we used to dune with has twins on a 406 in his Tatum, it ran good when all was good but there were more days when it wasn't right and it ruined more than one dune trip for the group. It was professionally built and tuned. Had the engine out with the heads off a few times, retuned...

    What do you do for work?

    I've been an auto mechanic for 37 years, was with GM most of that time. I've hated almost all 37 years of it, I've worked with some true motherfuckers over the years. We make just enough money to keep coming back. I didn't get into making a lot of money until just a few years ago. Now I'm old...

    Race Radios - School Me - Music Quality

    We dune too hard to listen to music through the headsets. We rely on the car 2 car communications to keep everyone in the line and shiny side up. Besides that my spouse is the best navigator and always has her eyes on things I don't necessarily see when driving hard so shes on the mic...

    ABS Brake Issues - Chevy Truck

    So your loose front hubs caused the reluctor wheel to grind away at the sensors? I never would have mentioned checking front hubs, I would have assumed all of the obvious things were looked at first. Glad you found the problem.
