That title is probably over-selling it. Whatever the end result is, it will probably be a lateral promotion. The steel wheels are pretty rusty, so needed quite a bit of cleanup. They had also apparently been roughly painted with brushed on gray house paint at some point. They...
With a truck load of tires and wheels, I drove down to my local tire shop and waited three hours while they got everything mounted up. Back home, the Empi wheels went straight on. They spent far too long stacked up in the basement. I love them. The offset is super-tough lookin...
After refurbishing the seat frames a couple of years ago, I was amazed at the price of these replacement chintzy vinyl seat covers. So, I slapped the old covers back on, hosed them down with some vinyl lube, and called it a day. Here we are, with past problems announcing their...
So, I never listed the beetlebug for sale. I still have mixed feelings about it. But, here we are... The car came with two sets of "new" tires when I bought it. The ones on the Empi wheels, I'm pretty sure had about 100 miles on them, but were eight or ten years old and had dr...
I inherited my dad's 2001 Tundra and after installing a modern stereo, I decided to add a backup camera. Uhhhh...

As clearly seen by the lack of update posts here, I haven't been investing much time on the old girl. Nor have I spent much time enjoying her. After my dad passed away at the end of 2023, I have been spending increasingly more time out of town, staying at my mom's. But when I'...
So, SELL THE RANGER ALREADY, WOULDYA? My dad's Tundra was still sitting in Thomasville, so to make that process work out, I would need to sell the Ranger in Thomasville, to be able to drive the Tundra back home. Coming home from the grocery store one night, I pulled into my pa...
So, this is the state I left the wiper arm in last time... I'm tired, boss. I had bought a new set of springs at the hardware store and finally got around to installing them today. Looks more promising, more beefy, feels tighter. Let's give it a whirl... Newp. Doesn't wipe fer...
My dad passed away last year and I inherited his truck, since it was otherwise going to sit unused. I hesitantly got my Ranger cleaned up and ready to sell. I had shopped around for a long time looking for that specific model - 2000 with 5 speed, 4x4, and a 4.0 liter engine. V...
