Kinda depends on where you live. I did a lot on a bicycle in a dense city, not so much anywhere else.


If were talking motorcyles, moat are only cheap if you do your own maintenance.

 

In winter on the Palouse? Fuuuuuuck that.

 

Someone’s gonna find him on the side of the road with hypothermia

 

I might just wanna get some winter tires for it I guess. I’m not really sure how much snow Moscow actually gets that sticks on the road.

 

Yeah I don't know how it is out there

But I rode for some 3-4 years and it was some of the most fun I ever had

 

In the spring when the snow melts.

Through snow drifts and below zero wind chills?

 

Caught one, not in a steel bracelet so feel like I can post it

 

Dealing with the deer damage and hanging new doors…

 

Deer suck. lol. This was shortly after cleaning up the paint on the miata the first time a couple years back. Car was in the driveway -- darn forest puppies just live in the driveway, yard, side yard, canyon, street, everything here.

 

aaaaand -- deer; this was not long after getting my taco - just pre-covid actually (now that I'm looking at the dates on these photos). Hit one on the way to work ~40mph. Little doe, instant ded after conkin it's head on the hood.

Had just replaced the headlights and corner markers. Didn't have any tools or sharp objects -- had to tell the COP 17 billion times, yes, please cut the wire on the side marker...I'll fix it later.

Purdy stock then. Got my APR bumper and several upgrades from this little doe.

 

Pretty simple fix anyway

 

That’ll do pig, that’ll do.

 

He drove a Gladiator for a couple of weeks that I got to drive for an afternoon. Way too much road and wind noise from a lack of aerodynamics. I'll stick with a 25yo 100.

I'll say that 70 to 80 percent of wranglers I see on the road are driven by females with at least 8 ducks on the dash. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

To hang on to a shrinking market, Jeep allowed the product to be sexualized as a Barbie vehicle.

It's cute until it's not.

 

oh yah - just nice to have insurance money back a few mods. lol.

 

I smacked a buck in my 99, zip tied the headlight and made the bumper stay put. It road till I had to park it b/c the frame was ded

 

An old man who cut me off paid for my steel bumper in cash lol

 

That's common in some areas around here; lot of non-insured drivers.

 

@Speedytech7

Did you happen to keep any small emissions-related goodies from your old Z?

 

Not a one, but there's an 84 z 31 in my local junkyard, saw it today actually

 

Ah shoot, appreciate the pic though super helpful.

What I was going to look for was an AIV solenoid which sits in that void where that unplugged connector is up front.

I know EVERYONE deletes it, along with the EGR. My goal was to have one in hand to diagnose and install once I got a downpipe.

The FSM shows how it's connected to the intake, along with the exhaust tube, and powered by the computer but wasn't sure what voltage reads coming off the relay when it turns on. So wanted to have an extra part to diagnose/troubleshoot.
