The outdoor slab is also useful when the garage is taken by a vehicle that came in for a two hour job two months ago.

Any California goons want to meet up in a month? We’re flying into Santa Barbara the last week of February and driving up to San Francisco. Planning a week in Santa Barbara, a week in the bay area, and a stop at Pinnacle National Park in between.

We got another 14” overnight; I think we officially broke the record for snowiest January. Though the 62.8” in three days was what really messed everything up.

Darchangel posted:Finally ordered a jet kit for the Weber 32/36 DGEV on the AE86, since I was already ordering a phenolic spacer to hopefully help with the dieseling presumably cause by it being directly coupled to the exhaust manifold (non-crossflow engine, and the factory manifolds are literally joined, for quick warm up/atomization?) At least in the Land Cruiser world, which has a similar manifold setup, the Webers are known for running rich AF. The 32/36 is (was) fairly common even though it doesn’t quite flow enough wide open but it was still either rich or ran poorly. That makes me wonder if one of the knock-off Aisin carburetors would work well. They’re all desmogged and I would think the carb for a 20R or 22R would flow enough plus be decent with side loads on long curves since they run decent rock crawling.

I’ve heard good things about those knock-off carburetors, with one caveat - you should immediately take it apart to make sure no metal shavings are left inside. If your Aisins are like the truck models they’re quite good carburetors, even as cheap copies. I forget, are the Webers mechanical or vacuum secondary?

I’m right at 3.4 miles per kilowatt hour in the Leaf. Hit 130,000 miles on Friday and at an average of around $0.08 per kWh that’s $3,060 in electricity over a decade. The first time I was filling up the FJ62 in SLC the gas station attendant came over with a baited question: “So…What do you think about electric cars?” “How do you think I can afford to drive this thing?!”

It’s more power than the 6.2 and less stressed in a high-load application. Ford says the 7.3 can tow 5,000 pounds more than similarly-equipped 6.2 trucks using the SAE J2807 tow test ratings.

kastein posted:Get one of the nice USB rechargeable ones they make now with the battery pack on the top or front of your head, they're much nicer to use on a crawler than the battery pack on the back ones. I have two and a custom spare battery pack I made so I can have one or two charging while I'm using one on long projects because I found that just one will run out too fast at just 4 to 6 hours. We splurged for Petzl headlamps a few years ago and they will take AAAs if the USB-chargeable battery dies. The removable battery is also handy for traveling with them since it doesn’t add much to my carry-on.

Safety Dance posted:That's just a Ford Ranger, isn't it? *twitch* 1993 was when they started selling a rebadged Ranger (which was actually an older and far less refined chassis). I have been known to enter 1992 into parts searches to be sure I find actual Mazda parts, but I need to be careful because 1989-91 they used a different DOHC 2.6 made by Mitsubishi that Mazda then basically copied for the B series and MPV. This is the truck in question:

BuckyDoneGun posted:I wonder with logging, obviously getting crushed by a tree aint good, but if the fact that so much logging goes on in remote locations means incidents that might be survivable in the city aren't in logging because of the delay in getting medical care. I wonder what all falls under the ‘logging’ category because when I worked at the zipline our insurance classified us as loggers.

Like, we could even do it right when we did finally use metric. Couldn't just use the already-established JIS standard. Nope, gotta be dumb. My Toyotas use hardly any 10mm but a ton of 11mm (or 13mm) since that’s the JIS head size. It’s a running gag now that I get 10mm sockets every Christmas; I have a drawer full of them that I’ve never used. Many of those are still in the packaging.
