More Powerwagon

Prep for Moab

Moab Time

Posted March 15 2010 07:16 PM by Willys

It has finally hit me that I head out for EJS next week. So I am now downloading maps for my Delorme PN-40. I'm hoping to be able to get a bunch of usable GPX files of the trails of Moab for future reference.

Learn Something New

Old Dog New Tricks

Take a cherry picker, a hand truck, and a new TJ axle, and have them all on a driveway with an incline... and even with wood blocks and custom welder stop, what do you get? A hand truck hitting a 715 40 feet away and a...

"Passing Lane"

MOVE OVER!

Posted March 11 2010 10:44 PM by Willys

I've been putting some miles in recently and I've noticed something. Prius drivers are not only oblivious to the world outside their car, but they apparently have never heard of the concept of "passing lane".

How To

Posted March 8 2010 12:30 PM by Willys

One of my neighbors is restoring a Jeepster with his son to be the son's first vehicle and they came by to borrow my pressure washer. I got curious as to why and went to see what progress was like.

Change of pace

mmm food

Posted March 4 2010 12:40 PM by Willys

Ok, so micro-brew isn't really a change of pace. But a breakfast pizza and a salad are definately outside my normal purview.

Conspiracy!

Posted February 26 2010 03:27 PM by Willys

I stumbled across this article titled "7 dead or dying car brands" and thought it'd be a neat read. It is, but largely told me stuff I already knew. (spoiler ahead)

Airplane Graveyard

Posted February 25 2010 10:34 AM by Willys

Here's another time-killer for ya. Got this airplane junkyard as an email, and thought I'd share. Apparently it is visible on Google Earth but I haven't checked.

That will buff out.

No it won't

Posted February 23 2010 08:44 AM by Willys

I go to the site "that will buff out" about once a week and saw this there this week. Something tells me that won't buff out. Note the Michigan tags too.

Coolest Pick-up Ever

Its a good thing I don't have more cash laying around or I'd own this right now. And I need more vehicles like another hole in the head.

Funny cause it's True?

stereotypes are cool

Posted February 21 2010 12:25 AM by Willys

Sometimes stereotypes are funny. And, I'm a big fan, even when stereotyping things like Jeep owners and magazine editors. Here's an email I got about other forums I found quite amusing. To the cops out there, sorry......

Hundred Bucks

Tons of Tires

Posted February 16 2010 07:59 PM by Willys

I don't know that I've ever seen more military tires in one place before. I recently picked up some HMMWV wheels from the 100dollarman in Lucerne Valley, CA, and man, does he have tires.

New Spyder, Old Spyder?

Richochet Rockers

Posted February 11 2010 10:02 PM by Willys

I got one of the first set of Ricochet Rockers in existence for my YJ way back in late 2005/early 2006. They were so early and so rare, that come EJS that year, the owner of Poison Spyder was standing at my Jeep when...
