    HUGE line of police vehicles on I-15 this morning?

    I was coming northbound through Sandy this morning around 7:15, and southbound there was a HUGE line of police vehicles, all with their lights going. I don't think they were speeding, but there had to be over 100 vehicles. They seemed to be from a lot of different agencies too, I think I even...

    The better half wants to join Gold's. I want to get the best deal possible on a contract. Is it possible to haggle with them? Tips? Tricks? I'm horrible at haggling with people, so any help would be awesome. Thanks!

    Will old gas cause white smoke?

    My Wrangler has been sitting for over a year. I've started it once every few months and let it run for a while and never noticed anything odd. Today I started it up and it's blowing white smoke - lots. The gas is around 15 months old. If it's not bad gas, apparently coolant in the engine causes...

    Which tow rig would you choose?

    It's come time to upgrade the Corolla to something a little more family-friendly, so we're looking at SUV's. Buying a truck isn't an option, and I don't seeing us being able to afford buying one in the near future. We've got it down to either a 05-07 Toyota Sequoia or an 05 or newer Nissan...

    Who sells Bilsteins?

    I'm going to be buying shocks this week and need to know who to buy them from. Any local shops keep them in stock? I know Wayne Hartwig was trying to sell his online store but never heard the end of it. He still a good guy to PM for prices? I'll be getting the 5125 series if that makes a...

    Anyone know who sells Cragar wheels locally?

    I'm looking for some Cragar Soft 8's in the 17x8" flavor with a 5x5.5" bolt pattern. I can get them from Summit shipped to my door (a set of four) for right at $300. Who sells them locally? -Devin

    traction bar peeling my housing back!

    My traction bar is starting to peel my housing apart. How would you go about fixing this? Can you just weld it back up? I knew the F8.8 axle tubes are a little thin, but not this bad! What caused it in the first place? Bad welding? Thanks for any help.

    37's on 15" or 17" rim?

    There's a chance I might be getting new tires in the near future, and I'm having a hard time deciding what rim size to get. I already have 15" rims so I wouldn't have to buy new rims if I stayed in that size, but I understand there's less tire wrap* with a larger rim, meaning it'd be less prone...

    Ultimate Taco-ish fenders

    Has anyone ever built fenders like they had on the '04 Ultimate Adventure rig, the Ultimate Taco? I want something like what they built so I can hack away at my tub in the rear and get some tube fenders in the front and still pass inspection. I'd make them removable, obviously. They look simple...

    How much weight does...

    How much weight does a typical DIY beadlock add to a tire/wheel combo? I'm researching tires and I want the weight to be as light as possible to help with breakage. The 37x12.50r17 BFG KM2 weighs 72lbs and the comparable MTR weighs 82lbs. Would a BFG with a beadlocked wheel run roughly the same...

    Iroks or BFG KM2s?

    I'm thinking of getting some new tires but can't decide between Iroks and the new BFG KM2s. I'm looking at the 37x12.50r17 radials in both styles. What are your opinions? Which is better offroad? Are the KM2s still too new to get some good feedback? I'd also get Cragar Soft 8's in the 17x8...

    Motorcycle age limit?

    So I'm heavily considering buying a motorcycle soon. One of the major things holding me back right now is that I have to take my two-year old son to the babysitter's three times a week. I can take back roads and never have to get above 45mph, but is it legal to sit the little guy in front of me...

    Who does your taxes?

    We finally got all of our W2s in the mail, now we need to find someone to do our taxes. Who do you use? Are places like Hewlitt-Jackson and H&R Block reliable? Or do you stick to a tradition accounting firm?

    modding an original xbox?

    Does anyone know anything about modding original xboxes? I don't even know where to begin looking. Which chips are the good ones? I never plan on playing xbox live so I'm not worried about having a switch. I would like to upgrade the hard drive and be able to store games on it, nothing too...

    Any Cingular employees?

    I'm picking up a Cingular-locked Motorola SLVR today. I have T-Mobile. Any hook-ups to help me get this unlocked? I'd rather not pay some online company $20 to do it for me. Devin

    DirecTV?

    We're moving into a condo and the programming that the HOA decided on is DirecTV. So how bad am I screwed? Anyone know anything about DirecTV? What are my options as far as a DVR? We're looking at getting a ~40" LCD, what are the package options for HD? Do they have a DVR that records HD? Do...

    reminder to practice safety

    Brandin worked with my sister. He was working on his jeep and it fell off the jack stands and crushed him. His girlfriend found him a few hours later. Just wanted to remind everyone to be as safe as possible, it's horrible he had to go this way. :( Devin

    sunflower seed flavors?

    Now that I know the general consensus of your seed-eating habits, I figured I'd start a flavor-review thread. What is your favorite seed? I'm rather partial to Spitz' Dill flavor. Their Spicey is pretty good, but their Smokey BBQ is downright nasty. Before the Dill craze hit, I was a...
