2018 Lexus GX460 Build: Wheeling With American Racing AR172 Baja Wheels
/

comments
Wheels are about more than just appearance; they impact performance and, crucially, durability. When choosing wheels, you must balance factors like finish, weight, and offset while keeping the price reasonable. American Racing has expertly balanced quality and affordability for decades. Our experience with their AR172 Baja wheels confirms this. Despite many new wheel options for…

NONWICK – Prepping my 1967 Ford Mustang for Fresh Wiring
/
/
comments
Disassembly is complete. Disassembly was pretty easy. The hard part is all ahead of me, and that bit of project car anxiety is creeping in at full speed. Especially since I’ve opened the box and started unfolding all of the wiring that’s about to go into the car. It’s a whole lot of colored bits…

1967 Ford Mustang Project NONWICK: Pt5 – The Quick Update
/

comments
Man, life sure gets in the way of stuff, right? Regardless, the project continues because I’m not letting this one turn into the wagon (which I still own, believe it or not). So where do we stand on my 1967 Ford Mustang project car? I’m almost done with disassembling all the bits that I think…

My ’67 Ford Mustang Project NONWICK: Engine OUT!
/
/
comments
I wasn’t planning on pulling it this day. But when I glanced in the engine bay, I could see that the only things keeping it connected to the car were a linkage and the engine mounts. So I hooked up my hoist, removed the remaining connected bits, and started cranking. And here we are… the…

1967 Ford Mustang Project NONWICK – Pt 3: Removing the Transmission
/
/
comments
I’m diving more deeply into any past project I’ve owned, at least while under my own supervision. My 1967 Ford Mustang is now separated from its radiator, starter, driveshaft, exhaust, and now the transmission. It took a few days of work, mostly because I’ve got a full plate of other work, a day job, a…

My Montero is back…

comments
It was dead… and now it’s not. That’s a nice thing about cars. As long as they’re not crinkled into oblivion, they can be brought back to life. Regarding the fate of my Montero, the cost of bringing it back from the brink was pretty high. But in the end, I deemed it worth it…

1967 Ford Mustang Project NONWICK – Part 2: Fluids Everywhere
/
/
comments
My 1967 Ford Mustang project needs prepping before I can pull the engine and transmission. That means it’s time to drain fluids and start moving other parts out of the way. As you might expect from a project where I’m doing the wrenching, I am excellent at making easy tasks a bit harder. But things…

This Lexus GX470 is the replacement for my JDM Land Cruiser Prado

comments
Last summer I sold my Japanese-market 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. I really liked the Prado; it was unique, cool looking, reliable, and functional. You can read about it here (part 1), here (part 2), here (part 3), and here (part 4). But there were also some things about it that put it into my…

NONWICK: My 1967 Ford Mustang Project – The Real Part 1
/

comments
This is the real part one for my 1967 Ford Mustang. I’ve already introduced the car, but it’s time to actually get started. You can’t finish if you don’t start. So I started and I’m diving right the hell in… but ripping out the wiring. My plan is to rewire the car using the kit…

DUHKAR: My 1991 Mitsubishi Montero is Dead

comments
I love this truck. Of all the vehicles I’ve owned, I haven’t felt much of an emotional connection. I’ve enjoyed them, certainly, but when it’s time for one to shuffle off to a new owner, I’m okay with that. The Montero, however, is different. I’ve taken this one on adventures. My daughter has grown a…
