  Hello from CO

  By DroppinDeuces

  Hey all, New member here, glad to be aboard. Just picked up a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner and had to come introduce myself. This is my second B-body. My first was a Matador Red ‘68 with a 440/4-speed, and I never got over letting it go...I missed it so much I finally had to get back in the game. The new one is B5 Blue with black stripes and a numbers-matching 383 backed by a 4-speed. It’s an older restoration, so I’ll no doubt have plenty of questions as I go through it and get it dialed...

  Caution: Slee Brake Lines – Machining Issues, CYA Instructions, & Disappointing Support

  By Jwoodywild

  Hey everyone, I wanted to post a transparent account of my experience installing the Slee Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit (Part #STF1089) on my 2003 LX 470, as well as how Slee handled the situation when brought to their attention. I run Slee rock sliders on my truck and love them, but this experience with their brake kit and customer support was disappointing. During the install, my mechanic ran into severe binding on 4 out of the 6 lines (specifically the rear female connectors). The... Read more

  Accelerator clip location

  By 65Cuda273Rescue

  Where does the clip go? I found it just hanging down there on the bracket when trying to figure out my throttle linkage issue, which is a whole other story. It looks like it show go somewhere in that pivot area, but no matter where I stick it in it just seems to sit in there and not change anything with the operation of the pedal. Thanks!

  List the top three Mopars you wish you would have bought.

  By chargervert

  Over the years there have been a few Mopars I wished I would have bought,but timing or funds made it not possible. The first was an orange 1970 Superbird 440 4 speed. Lower quarters had rust behind the rear wheels. I tried to get a loan to buy the car,the bank said that old Plymouth will never be worth the 4 grand the seller was asking for the car. The second was a B5 Blue 1970 Charger R/T SE with a black vinyl top,interior and side stripes. The car was a 440 automatic survivor car with... Read more

  2017 LX 570 Front Facing Camera is Dark

  By zalc

  Just bought a (new to me) 2017 LX570 and couldn’t help but notice that the front facing camera on the screen seems to be very dark (see picture below). Is this the normal behavior of the system? It doesn’t seem to show on the top-down 360 view. Is there a way to adjust the camera settings to get a “normal” front view?

  Weather stripping under the hood

  By Banjer Picker

  Wrapping up the EFI install and wanted to weatherproof things a bit more than Ford did it at the factory since I now have lots more electronic and water-prone parts under the hood. I know most of the parts are fairly resistant to the elements but I’ve intentionally put a lot of extra thought and effort in this engine swap/EFI project. Just curious if anyone has put any effort towards the following: 1.) For fiberglass cowl hood- Has anyone come up with a creative solution for the cowl... Read more

  Mike K? ruin another volvo. 945 pickup build

  By Stiggy Pop

  My Dad and I got on the idea of building a pickup conversion out of a 7/9 as a fun winter project and for me something to haul my dirt bike around in. After some staring at pictures we decided a wagon was the best starting point and I picked up a 1994 945 turbo with 250k on it. It's in typical shape for a cheap 940, needs a little love but a good car to start with. We're not expert metal workers so figured this will be a good project to get a little more practice from. Will be doing lead (or... Read more

  Steering Wheel Upgrade 16+ LC

  By Zill

  I purchased a 2016 land cruiser which had some nicks on the steering wheel from the previous user. It wasn't the infamous peeling problem found on the 16-17 wheels, but it appears to be some nicks from a wedding ring on the left hand. I did wrap the original wheel with a loncky steering wheel wrap, but I was not a fan of how thick it made the wheel feel. Since the steering wheel is the one item you are constantly using while driving, I thought it was worth the $750 to purchase a new wheel... Read more
