He took very good care of it

I've a '14 Ram right now with a 345cid Hemi. I love my truck.

I had a ‘12 with the 5.7 it was a sweet ride

Got into a wreck and decided to not make another vehicle payment though

We got our son a '14 Jeep Cherokee in February and today he paid it off by totaling it.

Oof that was your pic from before

What did he end up hitting

He dozed off and hit a guard rail at 60mph. They brought part of the guard rail to the tow yard.

The beauty of a crumple zone. It absorbs a huge amount of force

I've never seen so many airbags.....it is like there were airbags inside of airbags. He walked away without a scratch/cut/mark save for a small airbag burn to his left forearm.

Thats impressive. They've definitely come a long way in safety

Last summer there was an accident outside the shop i work at. Prius Tboned a volvo C70(convertible coupe) at about 45-50. Hit directly on the driver door of the volvo. Kid was shaken up but completely fine. Lady in the prius we had to cut out because the airbags were completely casing her in. She also didnt suffer any injuries

Let's build some technicals

I’m picking up a 97 F350 tomorrow 🔥🔥🔥

Dually? 7.3?

Noice

@[VA] JediComms my buddy hit a dump truck cuz he dozed off doing 60 and was fine

@Shane_NA6 Yep!

No car or motorcycle guys in here?

@Anonymoose you rang?

Both are 1100s.

My first 1100, bought back in '91. Still have it, but currently stripped done to the frame for a resto-mods.

Another 1100

Mopar or no car

Very nice.

I'm going to have to get a car first for practicality sake. Bike will follow soon after.

Ive owned a good few. Current fun car is a 90 miata because Im a hairdresser than I want to get another bike

@Anonymoose - get the toys before the woman. I had three bikes and one Muscle Car when I met her. Two kids and 22 years later I now have seven bikes and the two cars pictured. Next will be a workshop to take the cars down to the unibody and resto-mods them as well. Bikes require less space and cash so they get attention right now.

Nice.

i dont know alot about cars next to land cruisers and jeeps bc thats all ive been able to get my hands on so far

all i can say is *dont buy a 91-92 FJ80*

unless you like bullshti

Its all just nuts and bolts. The only thing that changes is where they are and what fasteners they use

see

but when the car is 30 years old had a dozen owners and 250k+ miles like most land cruisers do

well

bolts change

bc some dumbfuck didnt use emtric

and some other dumbfuck used lock tight

some other asshole used a air tool

etc

Well yeah

That just comes with old cars

well im talkin specifically bc they last so long and people beat the shit out of them

especially now bc dipshit hipsters buy them bc "le cool campy camp asthetic car ehhehehhe"

but yeah youre not wrong

i just think its worse with LCs

also EPA can burn in hell

I suck at regular cars but I do pretty well with these

How the fuxk do you get into that??

Ive been trying to get in with Lutz for years since theyre personal friends but theyre always in Oklahoma now

Doors lol. Sometimes you have to borrow them

Also that isn’t my car. I just work on it. I’m a poor

I have been racing for a couple years and just made the right friends

Y'all ain't ready for the mfing mom car

@hunnarounds i meant more into getting into racing. But that makes sense

@goofy_murican they made supercharger kits for those little shitboxes. They were still slow though

Interesting

minivan technical when?

I may or may not have toyed with the idea of sticking the dorsal turret from a B-17 that I may or may not have found some guy selling in place of the sunroof

@Shane_NA6 buy a shitbox (foxbody, new edge, fbody, or third gen camaro) buy an LS and th400. Put a cam and a turbo on it. Run a Holley system and just go fast lol

I mean yeah hahahah

Trust me, i am well versed in the dark magic 👹

Satanist? cringe

No, SBCist

Anyone a wizard with 7.3l powerstrokes?

> especially now bc dipshit hipsters buy them bc "le cool campy camp asthetic car ehhehehhe" @MrCaviar don’t be dissing on Toyota’s now. FJs are fucking TIGHT

I just wish the same hipsters were as into the pickups as FJs because I need these gone

Yeah but then have fun trying to buy em for a decent price

Steam powered killdozer anyone? https://youtu.be/nFxXqr-6Sdc

A must have for every Technical?

Could bad injectors cause a gas smell under the hood or would that more likely be a gasket valve or fuel line?

*valve gasket

@[VA] JediComms sign me the fuck up

@[TX]TexasPatriot0930 on what? Injector seals could cause that but theres a lot that could. Would have to do more investigation

On a 2002 altima

Friend is saying there's a gas smell toward the front of the vehicle. Haven't had a chance to look at the vehicle just trying to figure out some basic spots to check once I get to the car

make sure any and all fuel lines are secured, and not cracked, things like that

always start with things you can see and easily work on, then worry about causes that entail taking shit apart

Thanks for the advice man 🤙

no problem, my guy, done everything from brakes, to wheels and tires, to taking out and putting in engines and transmissions, nice side hustle

even some body work

mostly on older cars and trucks though

Nice! Glad they made this subchapter for vehicles.

i know, right?

Its all about the KISS method

Keep it simple, stupid

😂 My CNC programming instructor used to preach KISS like it was the Bible

My foreman drilled that into my head when I was an apprentice

3.0 V6 Supercharged with smaller supercharger pulley and larger crank pulley. Upgraded coolant pump with larger intercooler in the front as you can see.

Should be around 400awhp

@Big Igloo Ben where at

Nice my dad just got the RS7. Thing has just about 800hp he also has an S5 convertible in the copper color. He’s insane

I'm a big fan of the audis. no im not biased because i work on them

Tbh they're the most comfortable/best looking of the European big 3 imo

Yea I love them. I had an A6 a while back. That’s when my dad learned he liked Audi more than ford lol

RS7 is a beast. The new RS3 is a rocket. It can hit like 9secs in a 1/4 mile with just bolt ons

@tstonge central Illinois

@Big Igloo Ben too far for me. I'm always looking for parts for mine

The rs3 is nice. We have one at work right now
