Some guy at my office used to daily a Prowler and it looked like a Korea vet's idea of a hot rod PT Cruiser and in the parkade when I'd see him drive by it sounded like an automatic V6 engine that redlines at about 3500 rpm.

Ferremit posted:The only thing I dont like about those slee/Kaymar rear wheel carriers is that stupid camlock latch. They SUCK in the rain if your trying to open and close them with something in the other hand. The ARB rear bars use a slam latch like a normal car door and its brilliant. Hey I guess I should check this more often - Slee claimed they made the latch for this 200 series bumper new, as in this is the first bumper he's installed this particular latch on. I don't mind it as-is. re: back seat club, no sorry, I have 3 little boys who own everything from the middle row back. My oldest sits in the back on the left, and the only cargo space we really have that doesn't get trampled on a regular basis is the rear-right side of the truck, so yeah, it is what it is. Opening the rear isn't difficult, it's another 15 seconds for the couple times a week I throw stuff in back. re: reverse lights, Slee installed both Rigid red LEDs on the bumper as well as white reverse LEDs that really do light up what's behind you (at least what's on the ground) very well.  Kind of a poo poo picture and I didn't have anyone else around to put it in reverse while I took a pic - probably not the best thing to try alone - you can see the reverse LEDs to the bottom-right of the license plate and below the spare. Probably going to leave the bumper alone aside from a basket at some point and bolting on a Rotopax or two behind the spare. I did get an interesting offer today from the maker of Gamiviti roof racks, so I may well have one of those on the truck soon... Also trying to figure out how to ~*~HACK THE PLANET~*~ and put Bilstein 6112s (Tundra) up front and 5160s (FJ Cruiser, revalved) out back (with SPC UCAs up front to get it back into alignment, and probably OME 2721 or 2722 springs out back) to lift it, even though Bilstein doesn't officially offer a 200 kit yet... Would like to get that done soon but am waiting on Bilstein to confirm this plan of action and then I'll be the guinea pig but spend less than half what I'd spend if I went with BP-51s.

First time using a topside fluid extractor to do the oil change on the B8. It wasn't as glorious as the forumboys made it sound. A lot of pumping a little sucking, took forever to get all the poison out. But it was a lot less messy!

Lots of deep puddles and harsh terrain to climb over.

A fumoto valve would be way faster and easier than this thing, save for having to drive the car up on ramps or putting it on jackstands. Also, is the oil filter removable on the B8 without having to get under the car?

Filter is up top, inverted near the back of the supercharger. A Fumoto Valve would suck just as much as a normal oil change procedure, in that I have to remove the dozen or so fasteners and pull the front belly pan. So at that point, I'm fine with a normal oil pan drain plug. I have a lift, but still. This was fairly fire and forget.

Nice, clean E30. The blacked out kidneys give it a real Mk2 VW vibe in the head-on shot. Those projector roundies are hot, too. edit: which mk2 Garage2Roadtrip fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jun 8, 2017 |

Turns out fitting even the smallest carseat in a Nissan Juke is basically unfeasible so my wife wanted a new car. Criteria: AWD, fits a car seat, not a minivan, budget 10-20k.  Heated steering wheel? Also, the Germans definitely have creative places for buttons.

Very nice! My first E90 was that color, I miss it quite a bit. Not only is the heated steering wheel button in the dumbest place, it came with an aluminium shift knob. Since swapping 6MT knobs is easy, it got an M sport leather one immediately. And if you're curious, the heated steering button is still in the same, terrible place in the F3x models.

Since the 996 is off the road until I can get it inspected and the 968 wheels and tires blow I swapped the 996's BBS LM replicas over and drat they look nice. It'll be hard to go to anything else now.
