My DH came with chrome lugs. They got replaced with a full set of Gorilla gloss black splined lugs. Thieves may still get them if they want them bad enough, but I figure they should be good and frustrated by the time they get to the 20th.
My lugs come off and go on by hand. On all my...
What the hell? Mine came with the car too, but only because I told them I wanted a cover and it was added to the out the door cost when we did the deal.
Kinda surprised no one has jumped on this yet. I'd take it if I didn't already have one.
It's a nice cover, and a steal at $150. Try buying...
Okay, so you're saying that...
If I'm driving 60mph (100km/h) without adaptive cruise control (aka: my foot is controlling my speed), if I turn on lane assist and allow the car to get too close to a solid line, I'm going to get lane keeping (ping pong effect). But if I then turn on adaptive...
Very cool! Welcome to the elusive, Three Pedal Society, miss!
And kudo's to you dad, for teaching her this, what I would consider to be an, essential life skill!
I suppose we should all be grateful that this is a skill certain individuals do not possess nowadays though. The addition of that...
I hear ya! I got mine a while back on the recommendation of a friend, before I knew anything about them or what they were doing. Hindsight being what it is, I would have likely gone with another brand.
Ooops!
So yeah, about them tri-pods. My buddy down in Colorado Springs says those things are an open invitation for the police to pull you over. Most of the cops down there, he claims, will pull you over just for having it on the car.
Any AR15 can be equipped with a forced reset trigger nowadays. :rockon:
Getting them to run right, that's another story.
But when they do, it's, for all practical purposes, full auto.
Lemme know if you want to see videos!
I have two from Rare Breed. 😁
If they're doing a Coyote, they're probably doing a lot of other stuff too.
Modern chassis, retro shell; sounds like fun!
And no, carburetors are not scary. They got us by for 100+ yrs.
Something one of my mentors said to me that I'll never forget.
"How you gonna fix it if you don't know how...
They should. just make sure the one you get is for the correct thread pitch. I'm thinking it's probably 1.5mm, but you can get 10mm bolts with a 1.25mm thread pitch too....so just make sure you get the right one.
No worries, man. Happy to help. I had something similar happen a while back...
Something like this is going to be a lot stronger.

Those are Heli-coil type. They're kind of like threading a slinky into the hole.
The keen-serts are more like a bolt with a hole through the center of it.
If you want to try and save the original threads, the drill bit you use to drill the bolt out will need to be the recommended size for a 10mm tap, or smaller. I just don't think there will be enough material left in the hole, once the bolt is out, to re-tap the hole at 10mm and be strong enough...
Okay. Just wanted to make sure.
So back to your question about tapping the threads to repair them.
The problem here is that the hole is almost certainly cross threaded. When this happens, the bolt is essentially cutting new threads in the hole, and when it does this it's cutting through or...
