    Ouch

    once had someone driving down a narrow road who started coming right at me (on my motorcycle). I had to swerve out of the way and a giant rock the HOA keeps RIGHT NEXT to the road hit my brake lever. (I think the big rock is to keep people from running over the flower bed) Anyways, this dummy...

    What did you do to the expy today

    "My car keeps shutting off at red lights" "It's a feature" "How much does a new starter cost with installation?"

    What did you do to the expy today

    I have been having a "snapping" or "slapping" type noise that seems to come from the rear end when I get to 30MPH and seems to go away by 40MPH. It isn't constant, it may only happen when driving straight or at a slight turn etc. Maybe I just can't hear it over the road noise at higher speeds...

    What did you do to the expy today

    I rode some new trails today, a couple were black diamond. It's good that I was decending on the black diamond trails because I'm not confident I could do the ascent. I scraped my running boards a couple of times but it did well besides that. A couple of people seemed surprised to see me, but...

    What did you do to the expy today

    I had my tires installed and my wheels aligned today, I didn't think to ask how much they were going to charge me so I got gouged like a mother-******. $150 to mount and balance 4 tires, swap my old spare, and a front end alignment. The whole job took less than an hour.

    What did you do to the expy today

    I made a compilation video mostly featuring The expedition on trails. I also finished installing my mevotech front suspension and steering kit I bought, just waiting for the tires I ordered so I can have them installed and aligned.

    Expy during quarantine ?

    After riding a trail the other day I stopped by a gas station to wipe down the windows and lights with a squeegee. I hardly bumped the turn signal lens and it just fell off. How is it supposed to stay on? There are no clips or screws. I don't want it to fall off on the trail. 1st gen

    PSI on tires - what do you run?

    I run mine at around 32, but I live two miles from work and I drive on trails every week or two.

    Child lock and auto unlock questions

    My child locks will sometimes be on, even though I leave them off. I don't know if my butt turns them on while I'm reaching in the door, (phrasing) or if they somehow do it themselves... Mine is a 99 though

    What did you do to the expy today

    Interesting take on auto industry woes/falling new sales

    My 69 gladiator was the best truck I ever owned and the most beautiful I had ever seen. besides the oil coming out from EVERY possible point, I had to redirect the exhaust from the side towards the ground because I was spraying oil on people's cars, hahahaha These new vehicles look like...

    Interesting take on auto industry woes/falling new sales

    I wish there was a solution for those of us who want a newer truck without ALOT of technology. Disc brakes and FI are a great feature and I guess I don't mind ABS even though it adds parts to the engine bay. Cruse control is my favorite luxury. Power seats and windows are less reliable than...

    Locking Fuel Filler Plug

    I've always just put these in my larger vehicles. They won't do anything for contamination though. //youtu.be/zmft3ZZN9AM

    What did you do to the expy today

    I replaced the valve cover gasket on the passenger side. I removed many pounds of the A/C system since I don't use it anyways, same with the window washing resivour. I had to take the battery out to make room for tools and hands so I cleaned up all the contact points with sandpaper and added a...
