Kind of like Aviation. Rich folks fly their own or hire private. The unwashed masses board a giant aluminum tube and sit shoulder to shoulder... Herded like cattle.

Long term goal. Short term goal. But wait. Isn't there a fast train boondoggle that's been milking taxpayer money for years in your own beautiful commiefornia? Aside from enriching politicians, they would claim efficient mass transportation...

Absolutely agree. My '95 3406E (5EK) would have run with those vintage big Cats and Cummins engines, and left them behind at the fuel pump. Trouble is the govt. never stops. When Caterpillar announced the end of production of highway truck engines, I was seriously bummed out. Now, we can't even...

^^^^^ Amen!!!

I've had a boner for diesels for 50 years... But, I've heard guys bitch about the smell of diesel in their garage. True on the newer heavy truck e-diesels. But, back in the day, Cat 3406, 3408, Cummins KTA, there was no fire without smoke. Much cooler time... Nobody needed a stinking laptop to...

I would upvote this post 1000 times if I could.

I'd like to follow it. Funny, I still have the 1950 Chevy 3100, that I bought at age 15. It's also in a build thread elsewhere. Major redo now. Fatman coilover front end, camaro rear, LS engine, etc. Bought the old truck for $175, in 1975. Drove it home myself and all through high school.

The run to abandon everything cool is everywhere. Peterbilt has announced the end of the long hood, western style chromed out truck, effective the end of the 2023 model. Talk about being out of touch with their core customer base. Kenworth tried the same thing a couple years ago with a modern...

Strangely, we have guys at our local airport constantly having problems with multi thousand dollar avionics. We sometimes (rarely) get lucky and a simple re-racking will correct things. Then again, I can buy a $125 CB radio that will last 12 years in hot, cold, dirty, vibration, etc without a...

This. Look what these fags are doing to the hemi powered muscle cars... They can't run fast enough into this global silliness! I hope they fail.

This project is so cool it needs a thread of it's own. My 87 year old Dad has a Chevy square body long bed he bought new with zero rust. Bought in 1982, he decided to replace his previous 1967 C10. Which replaced a 1955, 3100. Owned only three trucks in his entire lifetime.

Charging stations at trailheads... That's just queer.

Ok. I get it now. They are talking about the effects on humans and animals, etc. Not disposal. The talk about the brightness versus warmer yellower light. Dim, warmer yellower light makes most people sleepier and I guess that's what they want. That's exactly what I tried to avoid for 40some...

Interesting. I knew compact fluorescent household lights were a problem when they were no longer usable. I've not heard about the problems with LED. I consider LED lighting in transport equipment a wonder breakthrough. Low energy demand and extreme long life. We used to constantly battle light...

Nice Jeep. Welcome.

Welcome. I love the eye catching orange everything. Looks sharp. Beautiful home, BTW.
