Took the Miata out over the weekend and took a few pictures before it gets too cold for the top to be down. I think they turned out pretty nice. [supsystic-gallery id=’4′]
The Miata
Growing up the Miata was never a vehicle I desired. I always thought they were silly looking and never understood them. As with many other aspects of my life, that started to change. Years ago i started reading about them. I started to understand their appeal. Light car, great suspension, …
Because Manuals are Better
I pulled the trigger. I wanted a manual transmission in my 01 XJ. If you are an XJ fan you know that getting a manual transmission in a 97+ XJ is a Jeep unicorn. the 84-96 XJs were a little easier to find, but the 97+ is a giant pain. …
Setting up Sagemcom Fast 4320 as Gateway
This wasn’t as straighforward as one would expect. Although the final step is really simple, it took me hours to get this done in the correct order when using Windstream’s VDSL2 Bonded internet. Step 1 Make sure you have the modem reset to factory settings. I noticed when I set …

Headliner Progress
Got to play around in the shop a little yesterday. First, I can’t wait to have the Jeep done. I love working on my Jeep, but this has interrupted my steevo bench build so I’m excited to move past the 5-speed conversion and start working ON the shop again. Anyway, …
Cleaned and Prepped the Headliner
I thought for sure this was going to take hours so I put it off a couple of days. I was wrong. Oh so wrong. I sprayed the headliner with Goo Gone, let it sit for about 2-3 minutes, and then lightly scrubbed it with my brush. Pretty sure the …
Removing the Headliner
To say that my headliner needed replaced would be a massive understatement. I should have done this a year ago. Or 2. The headliner was getting so low that 2 year olds could grab it from their car seats. Yeah … it was bad. Here’s the photographic proof: I started …
