Any of you vintage garage guys interested in something like this? It's an old school explosion proof trouble light, but the reel is rated for 460VAC/250VDC at 15A. There's one on ebay for $450 right now, I guess there's demand but I'd send it to a goon for significantly less. it's a little dirty and has some tan paint splashed on the other side. I'll post more pics if anyone really wants it. Shipping will be crazy because it weighs probably 40 lb or so. The patent was granted in 1937 and this design matches the patent drawings. https://patents.google.com/patent/US2074305

Yeah the problem I see with it is that it's so ungodly heavy with that aluminum guard and glass bulb on it that if you were to use it around a car you'd 100% bash a body panel in with it at some point. Otherwise I'd use it. I figure someone who likes the look could just put a real bright bulb in it and use it as a regular light fixture. I'll probably do that if nobody wants it.

Stock C2 with 993 twist rims. IIRC, 225/40R18 in the front and 265/35R18 rear. ALSO, I lied.  Phone posted and didn't notice the RS - mine are 71R, bought just before they were discontinued. Still great though I'm sure.

I have only driven it on DWS06’s so far cause WINTER, but I can’t wait til spring. My NC Miata is on RT660’s and that tire seems to be unflappable. I’m eager to compare them, despite the massive chasm of differences between the cars themselves.

Guessing no one's gonna want them, but before I give them to a random 240 drift kid at the parts store. Anyone want a set of FREE Toyo proxes RA1s for a NA Miata? They're like 205/50r15s I think. I'd say about 1/8 to 3/16 tread remaining. Pretty old and not dot approved tires so expect to be using these as burnout or drift tires and then binning them. I would probably not drive on public roads with them and definitely not in the rain. Located in Port Orchard WA but can meet anywhere along 3, 16, or 5 between Shelton, Tacoma, Bremerton, and Centralia if our schedules align. Bring a set of bare wheels they'll fit on to my place and I'll even mount and balance them for you. kastein fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Apr 6, 2024 |

FREE MINIVAN ALERT Does anyone want my family's 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager EXPRESSO? The engine suffered a catastrophic oil loss at redline up a hill and spun some bearings. This thing was bought new by my parents in 1999 and was maintained pretty well. Even before I could drive I was obsessive about keeping the trans fluid maintained (why no, I didn't read every page of allpar.com no I didn't nope nope nope) so this thing is still on its original transmission, that felt awesome up until the engine's last moments. It's been sitting outside for the past several years but is in decent shape and will clean up nice. White, grey interior, captains chairs, alloy wheels. It was pretty loaded, I want to say it was close to 30k new. Anyway, I hate to see it go but if a goon wants it (and won't be scrapping it... I can do that myself), it's available for free in 97007. Yes it will start and drive itself onto a trailer. Two original sets of keys and title in my name.

I went to look at a 2022 vehicle today, it was listed as used with 1,300 miles. Turns out it was never titled, just brought from another dealership location that closed down. So technically a brand new vehicle, used as a parts runner or loaner or whatever. How exactly does this work? I understand that manufacturer incentives are limited to a specific year, so none would apply. But I get a better interest rate from my credit union for buying new versus used. Should I expect them to complain because it's a 2022? Does it qualify for federal EV rebate? It's fully electric by the way, and definitely did qualify back in 2022. Should I expect any other issues or problems because of this disparity? Thanks in advance

There's a car buying thread in ask/tell https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3213538&pagenumber=574&perpage=40 I'd ask in there. This is more the SA Mart for sweaty car nerds to pass track prepped miatas around.

Hey, everybody: I'm selling our 1996 Toyota Landcruiser Prado TZ. I know I COULD post it on SA Mart, but I'd rather float it out to car perverts and JDM FREAKS instead.         Posting this on Facebook Marketplace and other local listings for 21k USD, but open to goon pricez. It's been a fantastic truck, and we are sadly selling just to move ourselves into a healthier financial place: no crisis, just want to be in a better place with money. I modified (with permission) the fantastic sale post for a J90 Prado Kaker did a while back to give more info. Enjoy! The Land Cruiser Prado started as a more street-oriented, comfortable adaptation of the standard 70 series Land Cruiser. If you are looking at this Prado and think it looks familiar, that might be because this is the beginning of the Lexus GX, itself a minor divergence from what the rest of the world gets as the Prado. Forest Green paint with a silver lower panels set up a very 90s look right off the bat. This truck has a tall, athletic stance with excellent ground clearance. JDM rain guards over every window, front-mounted fog lights (with TOYOTA proudly emblazoned across each light) attached to an inboard bullbar with the corner-mounted mirror bleed even more distinctive vibes. Radical Toyota-original 6 spoke wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich KO2s white letters out complete the look. Top it off with great side rails able to handle rooftop tents, ski racks, luggage carriers, and/or more, and you have yourself a fantastically capable, excellent daily driver that can handle what you want to tackle. You're getting the top end trim this car was fit with, with two tone grey, blues, and reds dotting the door panels and seats. As such, the seats themselves are comfortable fabric affairs, with great bolstering. Warm in the winter, cool in the summer. Standard instrument cluster up front, amazing visibility all around and a functioning sunroof above your head. Above the center stack is the ‘Field Monitor’, a sort of digital information pod that includes an inclinometer, pitch/roll indicator and a digital compass. In addition it can display temperature, elevation, barometric pressure, digital speedometer (in kilometers of course) and a timer. Below this is arguably the star of the show, a 4 speed automatic transmission along with a low-range selector and locking center differential. The glorious JDM headunit was replaced with a great modern USDM headunit that allows you any CarPlay of your choice. Automatic climate control and a little drawer, along with an analog clock are here as well. You also get dual front airbags and ABS which is a far cry from the “not at all” available in the last generation. Center console can swallow all sorts of things under its lid, including four drinks in its various cupholders. Backseats are clean and comfortable, with rear climate control (IN 1996!) with a smaller set of third row seats (fold out "Trooper" seats) in the very back. The cargo area is large on its own but can be made significantly larger if you fold the rear seats forward. The KZJ90 series of Land Cruiser Prados are excellent, incredibly engineered vehicles. Fast enough to comfortably sit on the highway at 70 miles per hour all day, absolutely capable to trudge through whatever offroad hell you send its way, and overbuilt to last decades into hard use. This one is a clean, fantastic to ride in, and will leave you constantly wondering "why didn't Toyota sell this HERE?!". Everything works, it needs nothing and is ready to go. 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado KZJ95-0014053 KZ 3 Liter Turbo Diesel w/ Intercooler Engine 4 Speed Automatic Transmission 145000~ Miles (234000~ km) Full-Time 4WD Low Range with Center Locking Differential Dual Airbags ABS Excellent Original 6 Spoke Wheels Barely Used New BF Goodrich KO2 Tires Air Conditioning Bullbar w/ Fog Lights Side Racks Sunroof No Corrosion Right Hand Drive Clean Utah Title and Registration Exempt from Diesel Emissions Testing in Utah SapientCorvid fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Apr 22, 2024 |

That is amazing! It's almost exactly what I want for a camping/trail vehicle, almost reminds me of the 98 CRV I had but 1.5x bigger. Still crazy that it's held so much value over 30 years, but it'll probably outlive me (and is certainly more valuable, too). Free bump, unless I convince my wife that a trip to TX sounds fun. Edit: I read TX because I'm a moron. Utah is actually way further and far less likely

2006 Chevy Silverado 4x4 Extended Cab Roughly 240k miles, but in pretty decent shape. DFW Area (roughly near Firewheel mall off of President George Bush Turnpike) 5.3 Vortec 5300 HO (L33 engine) The good: Seats and interior are extremely clean for a 2006 with this many miles Paint is in decent condition Decently nice Sony radio that supports android auto/apple carplay. Manual floor-shift 4x4 AC blows cold, heater core works. Recently flushed coolant when water pump died Many of the GMT-800 high mileage failures have been addressed: Oil pickup gasket replaced oil pump replaced with high-flow model Oil pressure sender replaced Water pump replaced Transmission cooler lines replaced Both front impact sensors replaced rear main seal replaced about 15k miles ago Transmission is solid and happy New shocks about 15k miles ago Tires at about 60% wear or so Headlight and parking light lenses replaced, and are not fogged. The bad: Cab corners and rockers suffered Chevy Rust, which was removed and had OAM slipcovers put on when when got it. Minor surface rust on undercariage, the body is otherwise solid. IT's pretty basic: No power doorlocks. Aftermarket power windows, because the rollup windows kept going off the tracks, so I just replaced them with an aftermarket power window set which has been perfect ever since. (No, not the cheap crappy ebay garbage that puts a gear around the manual winder, ACTUAL power windows) Has some piston slap I put in a mirror with the compass and external temp sensor, but it's not stock. (the HAM radio will not be staying in this truck, btw, it'll be removed) Goon price is $5500       DM me for best responses
