OH HAIL NO!

With all the craziness that has been going on over the last few months, getting out into the great outdoors has never been more critical. With this in mind, a group of friends from across the state of Colorado met up just outside of the mountain town of Alma to celebrate Independence Day the best way they know-how, enjoying the beauty and challenge of our local mountain trails.

AND WHEN TO USE THEM

EXTRA-TECH: HOLLEY CONVERSION

IF you’ve spent any time off-road with a carbureted vehicle, it probably didn’t take long to find the limits of a bowl of fuel sitting on top of the intake. Angles are not friendly to this dated, but effective, technology. You can solve this problem using an electronic fuel injection system that replaces your carburetor with a more efficient throttle body injection. The Sniper EFI, provided by our friends at Holley Performance Products, is a complete solution containing everything needed to complete the job.

A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE: FLYING DRONES

We’re always interested in the latest toys; if we’re not spending money on our rigs, we may need something to photograph them on the trail. Enter the Drone Zone. Let’s explore all the fun we can have with drones.

Replacing the Bullitt for 2021 and effectively replacing the GT350, too, is the reborn Mustang Mach 1. It’s to be the track Mustang for folks who can’t swing the note on a Shelby.

STOP BUYING THESE CARS!

Too many cars are overpriced, and I’m here to do something about it. I’ve picked my top ten most ridiculously overvalued old vehicles, and if we stop buying them for six months to a year, demand will evaporate and prices will plummet. Are you with me?

Hot Rod's First Primered Cover Car

It was a bold move to put a primered car on the cover of HOT ROD in 1982. That prime piece of car magazine real estate was supposed to be reserved for the hobby’s brightest, most pristine stars. Cars with nice paint, anyway—like a 1972 ’Cuda with a retina-sizzling color combination. But check out the other car on HRM’s cover from November 1982.

FLAT-TOWING CJ-5Q I am buying a ’74 Jeep CJ-5 from a buddy of mine. It’s in pretty good shape, but I’m going to be flat-towing it about 500 miles to my home. What gear should I put it in to flat-tow it safely? Transmission in neutral? Transfer case? Is there anything else I should be concerned about?C. ROY VIA EMAIL
