    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    Thanks for that... Assholes. You and your stupid "apps". Let me tell you something, if you call a computer program an "app", you have NO FUCKING RIGHT to complain if someone calls a mag a clip or an AR an assault rifle. You don't know what "application" means, and you don't know what "app"...

    How many of you would pay $15,000 for a billet Rover V8 block?

    Think about it hard... A "genuine" (potentially slightly improved) Rover V8 block that will suffer absolutely none of the problems associated with blocks currently on the market. It would be full custom and machined from scratch, but it would bolt right in; being set up as a 4.6. Anyone would...

    Powder Coated DII Intake Manifold Plenum

    I suppose it's a little bit of both for most now, but whatever. Keywords, and all. We are trying to peg a later "light Buick bluish greenish sea-foam" color, and this happened. I kind of dig it: Not bad for a "let's just see what happens" two-stage finish with a new primer. It's probably a...

    DII LT230 PTO Clearance

    Is there a problem fitting one of those to use a small pump? I seem to recall they didn't play well with the way the case was mounted, but I could be getting a bit mixed up. I've been considering moving to a hydraulic winch at some point, if I can use the transfer case rather than an ancillary...

    Mechanical Difference between DII Rear A/C and Front Only?

    What's the actual difference? Is the compressor, condenser, or anything else higher capacity? Sometimes that's how it's done. If so, moving to those parts and just increasing the fan output could do the job. I'm going to upgrade this air conditioner whether I've got to swap to an integrated...

    Land Rover Bullshit

    I don't know how to link a tweet, but Land Rover is up there bragging: "At Jaguar Land Rover we recognise the growing value of water to our communities. Our Brazil plant uses water balancing ponds to replenish ground water sources and prevent flooding concerns to our neighbours from the...

    Alibaba Fun

    Be aware, the link goes to Alibaba. While it's perfectly safe if your shields are up (and I've used the site myself many times), occasionally that site gets crafty if you're unprotected. Every now and again, I like to type strange shit into Alibaba to see what pops up. Try it. It's more fun...

    Captain Obvious

    As soon as this popped up, I had to screen capture it. The jokes write themselves. It's from the show "Gate", which is generally well-translated. Obviously something slipped through. Cheers, Kennith

    2019 4Runner Observations

    I was hoping to have a nice, long series of observations, but I lost interest entirely. Positives: 1: Relatively comfortable seat. 2: Driver controls are reasonably simple and easy to use. Negatives: 1: It's absolutely fucking gutless. 2: Tracking issues are notable and intrusive. 3...

    Custom Fusion 1911, Price to be Negotiated, but Quite Expensive

    I'm going to start with a letter I sent to Fusion requesting evaluation before a potential sale. This included the build details. After that is included their response in current cost to construct an identical firearm. Pictures are no longer entirely unedited, as I blurred the serial numbers...

    GM 8.2 I Believe, and How Would You Finish Cleaning It?

    I'm pretty sure this is a ten bolt 8.2. If I'm wrong, let me know. Most people that claim to know actually don't, so I just gave up and took a guess. Either way it'll work well enough, so it doesn't really matter. It's got 295s in the rear, but currently couldn't even dream of actually...

    NEW Tire Inflator or Air Compressor 150PSI 150LPM $20 Plus Shipping

    I had these made a while back. They are unbranded, but I worked with the factory to actually get them improved and putting out the power that was claimed. These are made on the same line as: 1: ARB 2: Viair 3: Masterflow 4: Superflow 5: Almost every other 12V compressor on the planet...

    DII Cooling System Confusion

    Too tired right now to think, but I've observed some strangeness. Head and top end gaskets have been replaced, and there is no evidence of coolant or oil contamination. 1: A slow coolant loss, presumably external. I never did find this last leak, but I think I was close to narrowing it down...

    Land Rover Discovery Outrider... Two doors, a bed, and a bad attitude?

    I can dig it. :p Cheers, Kennith

    Say it ain't so, General...

    Damn it all. General discontinued my favorite tires. After speaking with Continental, they contend that the tires were simply not required given the performance of their new mud-biased units. We shall see. In the meantime, I'm waiting for a call from General's product design guys to work...

    Excited about the 276CX

    I'm really looking forward to picking up one as a present for myself. I won't be able to use it for some time, as I'm back in health trouble, but whatever. I'll figure the shit out eventually, and in the meantime I can play around with it anyway. I love my 478, but it's at the point that...

    One of my favorite channels tackles the RTT.

    Here, they consider and test a number of tent varieties in brief segments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hXgq-fBFy0 They're a lot tougher and more intelligent than they act, I assure you. Dude's got several channels, and they're all fun to watch. Well, I like them, anyway. Cheers, Kennith

    Swap Frame to Make DII a "Custom Built Vehicle"?

    That 2.8 thread got me thinking. If I purchase and install a replacement galvanized frame for my DII, is there any reason to believe it couldn't be registered as "custom-built", to prevent irritating inspection inconveniences? If that's not good enough, what about just building a new frame...

    General Red Letter Grabber Update

    They're holding up just fine, even after a long period of sitting. Most others would be dry rotted to hell and back. Today, I deliberately drove through two containers of roofing nails spread across the road. It was the way least likely to cause a collision, as the other drivers around me...

    Maglite is the Worst Flashlight on the Market

    That being the case, does anyone know off the top of their head a light that doesn't suck, that'll just snap into a normal Maglite bracket? If not, what about how to find a bracket to snap one of those Nebo Slyde lights into? In practice, they seem to be the best on the market, but I can't...
