Cheap and convenient.
TL;DR - I love this simple modification and it's made cooking with the propane stove much more enjoyable.

Leave a CommentAn avocado a day...is better than an apple a day.
TL;DR - if you're a fan of avocados, a little care can keep them safe and unbruised for up to 10 days.
5 CommentsYou've served me well, but I'm still a little disappointed in you.
TL;DR - The top, military wrap half-leaf on the driver side broke in two places. I'm not sure what I'm going to do as far as replacement goes, but I have two options.
Leave a CommentNearly a full tank of gas.
TL;DR - I recently added a third jerry can to my pack-out for certain trips, and it's been great.
Leave a CommentI've already picked up the replacement transfer case I'll be swapping in.
TL;DR - I need a new transfer case.
Leave a CommentIt's amazing what a little metal glue can accomplish. This fix was a huge success.
TL;DR - I've put 10K miles on my reinforced axle housing and it's working great. I'm really in no rush for my new one to arrive.
Leave a CommentTo say I was not happy upon noticing this would be the understatement of the day.
TL;DR - My rear axle housing cracked at the passenger spring perch. I've ordered a new axle housing.
Leave a CommentReady to protect the paint for another bunch-o-thousand miles.
TL;DR - Just a little bit of maintenance, replacing the insulator under the hood. Easy and done.
Leave a CommentIn this photo, note the clearly defined beams of the fogs and Hellas, with a nice transitional area between the two. Additionally, note how much yellow light reaches the mountainside some quarter-mile away.
TL;DR - I love these lights.
Leave a CommentIt's always fun to drill a square hole.
TL;DR - I finally got off my butt and fixed the skid plate by cutting a square hole so I can use a carriage bolt to secure it to the transmission crossmember, rather than the small welded ears that kept breaking off.
Leave a CommentThe Hella's (and the related HID components) were never the actual problem.
TL;DR - My Hella's are working again, and the problem wasn't the Hella's or the HID upgrade at all. It was my Bussmann relay/fuse block.
Leave a CommentIf you have a garage, this is a great way to get in, conveniently.
Leave a CommentA few seconds with the grinder, and I've reduced the threaded section by 1/8" or so. Problem solved!
TL;DR - The NMO mount on my Ham Antenna was just a little too deep, and the antenna would contact the roof when it was tightened down, leading to rust. I've fixed that with a bit of judicious grinding.
Leave a CommentMy first experience with the new chair was blissful.
TL;DR - I've traded in my low camp chair for a normal-height one. I'm liking it so far.
Leave a CommentTime for more new bushings.
TL;DR - Replacing my LCA bushings didn't resolve my squeaks. Time to start thinking about UCAs and rear leaf spring bushings.
Leave a CommentThe dreaded leak. Perhaps I'll rebuild it once the new rack is installed.
TL;DR - I noticed on the NMBDR that the steering rack was leaking. I'm going to replace it with a new OEM Power Steering Rack (44250-35042)
Leave a CommentI'm not as happy with the HIDs in the Hellas as I was when I initially installed them.
TL;DR - My Hella's are working less and less now; I'm biding my time until the end of the year, when I hear that Diode Dynamics may have something fun coming.
Leave a CommentAll the bushings I replaced.
TL;DR - All the new bushings I installed recently seem to be doing great.
