Best upgrade I almost forgot to do! Fuel Injectors!

August 5, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Little back story here; I purchased a ’90 Jeep XJ two years back to replace my aging ’85 CJ-7. Bought the Jeep with a rebuilt lower end on the motor and over the last two years I have slowly upgraded and tweaked everything you could think of from suspension, armor, to engine upgrades as in cooling system, air intake, exhaust, performance plug wires, etc.

The one thing I failed to think of was the injectors which were probably the ones that they stuck in the motor when it was assembled in 1990, and if not they looked old. I decided considering what feels like I should get more out of my motor and that my fuel economy is for crap, is to replace the injectors.

So priced them out at auto stores at $60+ each, or $360+ for all six, ouch!

Looked around on the net and found these guys on ebay; PRECISION AUTO INJECTORS .

Trxus M/T’s; a review 15 months in the making

September 29, 2008 By 4 Comments

My personal opinion here; I hate tire reviews written a month after they put them on. A review for a specific tire should be written after you done wore them out.  So here is mine……….

I am a long time BFG fan. In 10 years I ran two different vehicles and four different sets of BFG’s on them. (1) Set of BFG A/T’s which are great on everything besides mud. (3) Sets of BFG M/Ts which are an all around great tire which I managed to abuse quite regularly and still got 60,000+ miles on each set. They only sucked on the street on snow and ice until I had them siped which kind of helped, but there is no perfect tire for all terrains.

Last year I had an epiphany; “How do I know if there is anything better if I have never tried them?” So I decided to try Interco’s Trxus M/T’s. I read plenty of reviews of satisfied customers who ran them and I thought I will give them a try. I bought a set May ‘07 and it is now September ‘08. They have taken plenty of abuse as I have put 30,000+ miles on my XJ in almost a year and a half and they have also been on eight off-road trails in Colorado since putting them on. [Read more...]

Boy Scout Popcorn

August 25, 2008 By Leave a Comment

I don’t ask for much from any of you. I’m not asking to support me, maybe a click on a google ad from time time. Maybe a request to order some stuff through my Amazon link.

Now I ask for a small favor. My boys are selling Boy Scout Popcorn this year. 33% of the money you spend goes directly to their Pack. 33% goes to popcorn costs. The rest is used to buy prizes and promo stuff used to get the boys excited about selling.

By the way, the popcorn is pretty tasty too.

Chris’ ride for the Lance Armstrong Foundation

January 28, 2008 By Leave a Comment

picture-1.png Times are tough, I know. When a worthwhile cause comes across my desk I try and pony up.

Every year the girls in my family get together to walk in Denver’s “Race for the Cure”. I think it’s high time the men of the Paulsen family back something just as worthwhile.

Chris is a Jeepin buddy of mine. While I don’t know his background with this disease I think it a pretty worth while cause. He has dedicated his time to race. Let’s back him up.

a caged Daily Driver?

December 17, 2007 By Leave a Comment

Not related to Jeeps, but I will do my best to figure out a way to relate it.

All of you with “Trailer Queens” have daily drivers. Your “Queens” probably have cages, would your homebrew cage hold up this well?

When SmartCars were first released I thought they were a great idea. I’m not really all that “green”. I liked them because they looked easy to park and the gas mileage would save me money.

I saw probably more TV coverage than the average person did on these things. FoxNews had them on one of there morning shows, probably about 8-10 months ago. They asked a lot of questions about the frame, tube cage, etc. Some very good safety questions. I was fairly satisfied with the answers. Since I have never seen one in person I was a little hesitant at defending them when someone started bashing them from a angle of them being dangerous.

After seeing this video… I would drive one; and if I was in the market for a car right now I would seriously consider buying one.

This is an amazing video.
