Shannon and Jess are back at it on the FJ40 this week and this thing is coming along nicely. If you like a Landcruiser, you’ll dig this one.

Doors that shut and wheels that turn might not sound super exciting, but they require fabrication and time in order to be right and that’s what we dig. This project has been fun to follow, and we can’t wait to see it out on the rocks having fun too. Shannon is back at the fab work on the FJ40, and man this thing is really coming along. In this installment we are sharing two videos that cover making the doors fit, fixing steering issues, and more. There is a lot of fabrication going on in this p

If you missed this FJ40 project that Shannon Campbell is working on, we’ve got a link below, but if you are back for the next installment in this build series you are in luck as well. In this new video you’ll see the chassis go under the FJ40 for fitment and some clearancing of sheet metal. I think this is going to be a fun project, because I love FJ40s, but if you have any ideas of building a custom chassis for your FJ or Jeep, you should check this one out.

Shannon is back at the fab work on the FJ40, with the rear bumper continuing to take shape in preparation for fender flares. These two go together, so the bumper has to be just right if the flares are to take shape the way he’s envisioning them.

The Storm System Shifts East The severe weather system that battered the Central Plains on Friday is now pushing eastward, bringing a fresh wave of hazards for Saturday morning commuters and weekend travelers. As the cold front sweeps across the country, the primary threat zone for intense thunderstorms is moving directly into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, extending down into the Deep South. This system is packing a significant amount of moisture and energy, setting the stage for a highly disr

Flood Warnings are active across Mississippi and Alabama today, Thursday, May 7, 2026, after a slow-moving cold front delivered 3 to 5 inches of rain overnight from East Central Louisiana into West-Central Alabama. The Weather Prediction Center flagged the corridor with a Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall through 7 AM CDT, and NWS Jackson and NWS Mobile have followed with active river Flood Warnings on Tallahala Creek and the Chickasawhay.

There are going to be some of the most epic Ferrari’s in Formula 1 history at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, and this right here is one of them. The crew caught up with this car at the Monaco Historics race and man we couldn’t be happier that they did. Ferrari has been racing in F1 for 75 years now, and that mean’s they have seen some things and done some things. But while all these Ferraris are epic and cool, some definitely stand out from the rest. These cars were from a different era

Charging EVs on the Move As the current decade unfolds, more and more solutions are being introduced to help eliminate what's known as “range anxiety” in electric vehicles. Over in Florida, the state is constructing a new expressway built with an integrated charging capability, allowing EVs to receive power without needing to stop and plug in. WFTV Channel 9 was granted early access to the construction site and shared the latest developments. The expressway, which will connect Orange and Lake co

The media is full of doom and gloom these days seemingly more than ever before, but that doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of inspiring stories. They do exist, but they’re usually buried under the torrents of bad news. A good example is the story involving a man from Fort Myers, Florida, who had lost his only way to get to work in December after police confiscated his car, deeming it unsafe to drive. No wonder police spotted him, as he was driving his 1999 Honda Civic without a windshield and fron

You know you’re in for something really crazy when internet legends ‘Florida Man’ and ‘Mustang Driver’ collide, all the more so if they are one and the same person. That was the case on Wednesday in Daytona Beach, Florida, when 58-year-old Brian J. Parker crashed his seventh-gen Ford Mustang GT at high speed through a locked and secured gate of the local airport. Suspect Admitted to Alcohol and Drug Use Before Chaotic Incident He then drove his blue Mustang across an active runway, nearly hitti

When EVs Meet Water Electric vehicles (EVs) and water tend to spark dramatic headlines, but the truth is they aren't natural enemies. Modern EVs are engineered with sealed battery packs and weatherproof high-voltage components, often proven in everything from storm floods to deep-water wading tests. For the most part, EVs aren't fragile electronics waiting to short out. That reputation didn't hold up for one Hyundai Ioniq 5 owner in Florida. According to a WFTV report, a simple 20-ounce bottle o

I love vintage RVs, and especially eyebrow Winnebago RV’s. I know several people who have built custom versions of these, and also love them when they are just a survivor or restoration. But this one here is really something special. Built to be the ultimate hot rod hauler ramp truck, this thing is really something special. They call it the Rampabago which is funny but fitting. Check it out in the photos below and let us know what you think. Video Description: The RAMPABAGO Winnebago Car Haule

If you squint and imagine this 1960 Oldsmobile lowered, with a freshly painted set of steelies and caps, you can see yourself driving it down the highway on Hot Rod Power Tour. This thing could be cruising perfection with just a few tweaks. If it was mine I think I’d lower it a couple of inches, I’d freshen up the wheel and tire combo, and I’d screw a street sign to the floor to “fix” the rust and be on my way. Maybe, if I was feeling ambitious, I’d install a Sniper 2 EFI and swap a 700r4 or 4L6

There were a ton of awesome cars and trucks at the 21st running of the Street Car Super Nationals in Las Vegas this year and I was in love with several of them. I can’t get enough of the awesome rides on hand each year and it is one of the reasons I love this event so much. The variety is great. But one of the cars that really stood out for me, and probably flew under the radar for many because of its sedate looks, was this killer Chevrolet Nova that had the look of steelies and center caps whil

A lawsuit against Ford, relating to allegations of widespread 'death wobble' incidents on the 2005-2007 F-250 and 2017-2019 F-350 Super Duty trucks, is going back to a district court after it went to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and it seems that plaintiffs may be on the back foot. The seven-year-old lawsuit has changed several times over the years since it began, with the current iteration including only the abovementioned vehicles purchased from dealerships in the states of

Ford has come to learn that not everyone wants an EV, shocking, we know. With demand declining and sales falling short of early expectations, the Blue Oval appears to be searching for "creative" ways to rein in costs. Instead of replacing plush leather with scratchy plastics, Ford now stands accused of shortchanging its own dealerships. A new lawsuit claims two franchised dealers were left severely out of pocket after completing EV battery replacements, with a gap of roughly $20,000 per vehicle

Airbags save thousands of lives per year in car crashes, with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reporting that 4,330 lives were saved by frontal airbags in 2019 alone. So, when airbags are found to be faulty, a recall typically follows quickly. That’s the case for two Ford models—the Bronco Sport SUV and Maverick pickup truck—which have been found to have potentially faulty front passenger airbags. The issue appears to be with a series of sensors rather than the airbag unit itsel

Ford and Carhartt want to promote real "Carhartt-type" work If there is one brand that is synonymous with both white- and blue-collar workers, as well as construction sites and the world's fashion magazines, it is none other than the American heritage brand Carhartt. Born in Dearborn, Michigan, in 1889, the workwear brand has been known the world over not just for being a go-to brand for style influencers and fashionistas, but more so as a tried-and-true brand that has produced tough, long-lasti
