I use my Badd Turkel to pick up chicks....I have a little "euphemism" for it but I won't use it here....

For the price, look into the POR-15. I know 2 or 3 jeeps in my area that use it on homemade bumpers etc and swear by it. Requires very little prep and is a DIY job with a brush. Comes out looking good if you take your time.

Breakfree CLP can be found in spraycans at some autoparts stores too. I got a can at napa.....good stuff.....that and PB Blaster.... when I lived in NH we would undercoat the vehicles before winter. just a good (preferrably hot water) washing of the undercarriage, let it dry, and then hit it with a ...

Just an added note, I recently did an oil change (and hit 180K miles) and used Valvoline MaxLife 10-40 with a Mobil1 Filter. About 50 miles before the change I was about 1/2 qt low so I topped it off with some general use Castrol ATF (to clean it out.) Now (after the oil change) I'm getting a lot of...

My 83's federal 3AC emissions system is different than any of the flavors found in the 85 FSM floating around. I have a couple of questions: 1. If anyone has a true emissions diagram for an 83 3AC Federal 6spd I'd love to see it. 2. What is the "jet" that the emissions diagram sticker on t...

This one seems to be pretty loaded.....

Ok, Jan20 is out. That is my son's Pinewood Derby for cub scouts. I'm thinging of making a car for myself, too....shaped like a Tercel!

I'm going to have to move the Tercel weekend and I don't know when I am going to move it to.......have to ask the Fiancee.......

Now that would be sweeeeet for my Jeep. During the summer my oil gets pretty dirty (dusty trails and lots of pollen.)

I never got good heat 'till I replaced my failed t-stat and FLUSHED the coolant loop. I flushed with distilled (not tap or spring) water until it came out clear after running in a hot engine for about 5 minutes. (note, I only used water. If you use a cleaning product, follow the directions on the pa...

Garbage filters? Ohhh.... Kay.... I've found them to work better than the VW MANN filters manufactured by MANN+Hummel GMBH. I use the term "garbage filters" for the stuff you find on every shelf at every K-mart and on every red-neck's bumper, namely Fram. Frams are manufactured by Allied-...

Further investigation has revealed that Mobil1 filters are made by Champion Labratories (no, not the spark plug guys.) Champion Labs provide filters for lots of people, but the Mobil1 design is unique, and very good. Also, Wix is owned by the Dana corp, but does still operate as Wix.

I have found that the best oils and filters are the properly changed ones. My personal preference for oil is Valvoline. This is based on the personal recommendations of an old friend of mine who was a mechanic for 30 years. He showed me how to tear down my 1st engine. When we got it open, whatever w...

I'd love to help, but you'd realize after about 5 minutes that I'm not needed. I'd love to be there for moral support, though. Have to check my schedule. January and February are pretty busy months with my boy's Cub Scout pack (dad is asst cubmaster AND asst den leader.) I would recommend, though, t...

There are kits available for purchase for Jeeps that do the same thing. Only issue is the kits cost mucho bucks. The aftermarket kits replace the radiator top hose with a heat exchanger that transfers the heat of the coolant to water that is pumped through and out of a little shower head. Figure the...
