    1989 Isuzu Trooper

    Hit it on the side with a BFH. Brace the control arm as best you can so the all the force of the hammer strike goes to the knuckle Don

    How to do two tone paint when the darker color is primary?

    Seeing as we are talking about a Ford I always liked the Eddie Bauer edition Fords. I had a 93 Bronco Eddie Bauer. That dark tan went well with all the colors. It also helped that there was a red stripe to split the colors up Don

    Crazy dealer add on

    Oh I forgot. When purchasing a new car if I see add on charges I don't like I flat out tell them I am not paying for that. They try and do their up sell and I just tell them no. I haven't lost buying a car yet. They always remove the charge Don

    Crazy dealer add on

    I have decided that my next car purchase I will tell the salesman/finance guy that I will not pay the doc fee. I remember back in the day before doc fees existed. I want my next purchase to be doc free. Hopefully that works. These doc fees are bogus. Always have been. The paperwork and such used...

    No SRX this year

    Well Mr Evernham is involved but I do not know to what extent. Ray was apparently a very key member in the building of the IROC cars back in the day. That is pretty much what the SRX series is. An IROC series. I really hope the SRX series isn't dead and gone. That would suck Don

    No SRX this year

    So I saw yesterday that the SRX series will not run this year. It did not say that the series has folded just that I guess they are having sponsorship issues. I was hoping that this series would start taking off as it is enjoyable to watch. Hopefully they will be back in 2025 Don

    Would seeing Valvoline Instant on a carfax deter you from buying?

    Every car that I ever bought with more than 100k miles I went into it knowing that I will be replacing all the fluids. Coolant, oil, brake fluid, ps fluid etc. I also replace all the coolant hoses and thermostat as well. Spark plugs and wires were also changed. Brakes were gone over and if...

    Can you build a small-block V8 faster than a high school kid?

    Oh and every part on these engines were brand new including all bolts. And no RTV to be seen. No oil or coolant. Don

    Can you build a small-block V8 faster than a high school kid?

    Well the title is misleading. Wasn't a high school kid. It was teams of 5 high school kids each. Crankshaft, camshaft, oil pump did not get removed. Did not see any lifters come out either. Surprised me that they actually used torque wrenches. Impressive none the less. Don

    Billy Idol Eyes Without A Face

    Love this song. Grew up in the '80's so I know Billy Idol well. Eyes Without a Face is classic. Anyway I have a question that may not be able to be answered. On this song Billy goes off on a 3 verse rap. When I hear this song on SXM the 2nd verse of this rap section is omitted. I cannot figure...

    Driving At Night

    I had cataracts removed from both eyes last year. I could not believe how muted colors had become. Since the surgery night vision has improved greatly. So much so that even the brightest headlights no longer bother me. Don
