    Craftsman Replacement Parts

    There was a Craftsman tool guy at the swap meet I go to every year selling mostly used but sometimes new/unused tool sets at really good prices. Sockets, wrenches, ratchets, etc. but the sets were all complete so every year I would inventory my tool box and make a note of what I need.. 1/4"...

    Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

    Found 3 baby squirrels hanging around my house. Kept an eye on them for a day and momma never showed up so I boxed them up and took them to the wildlife rescue nearby. They were approx 4 wks old so unable to fend for themselves as far as food and with the hawks, etc around here they would've...

    4wp got got by me

    I've actually seen quite a few people posting requests for help or just questions that garner offers of help on some of the FB forums from people who live around or near the person. Mostly unaware of the outcomes but now and again you'll see good pics of the results.

    Self etching primer prep

    Topcoat would be anything like a paint, bedliner, undercoat, etc. that fits the area you're working on. Personally I wouldn't use a bedliner material because that stuff would easily hide years of rust and trap it making it worse unless you completely sandblasted that frame or panel and again...

    Self etching primer prep

    Think of how it left the factory is the best way to describe it. Closest you can get back to that within reason, longer it will last. Primers are meant to be topcoated. It's what helps protect the metal and allow the topcoat to adhere better so you're sort of just stopping midway through the...

    What are your favorite license place relocation mounts and lights?

    In my opinion the curved license plate idea is still awesome and definitely a cool Jeep thing. Not all like it but first time I saw that thought it was great.

    Self etching primer prep

    If you don't remove the rust, the rust is still there no matter what you put on top of it. And unless you're planning on topcoating the primer you put on, it's only temporary.

    Alternative outdoor cooking

    Made one of those myself out of a plow disc. Saw a guy at a campground with one. Just sets it on top of a propane burner and cooks everything on it - breakfast, lunch & dinner. Season it well and would last forever.

    Hello, red Jeep here. Based on the OPs avatar, I believe there are a couple, maybe 3 other things to address first. I'll leave the discussion now. Good day.

    California Will Start Testing for ECU Tunes During Smog Checks Starting Next Week

    Kinda figured it was more about who he was working for and I can't remember the station either. It was in Astoria. Guess it is a job kids could have if it's a requirement, not that kids want jobs these days.

    California Will Start Testing for ECU Tunes During Smog Checks Starting Next Week

    Same here! Didn't know and started pumping and guy didn't run, just saundered up and said hey you must not be from here. I kept pumping and he just leaned on the car and started telling me where all the breweries were but then he ended up taking over and said I best finish this before I get in...

    Best automotive crimpers

    I've been happy with the style of crimper that ratchets closed. For some reason it's like a correct self-torqing/tightening as opposed to the ones like pliars you just manually squeeze.

    Steering: How loose is too loose?

    Almost exactly like mine is. And funny because I'll wiggle the wheel everytime I'm driving like that as if i'm going to be magically surprised at some sort of change in looseness.

    Show us your sticker cabinets and or collection

    What's funny is I never used to put stickers anywhere but in a large ziploc bag. Then I couldn't fit anymore in so one rainy ass day sitting in the garage I started sticking them all over the tool boxes. Airplanes & beer make up the bulk and i'm not even halfway through emptying the bag. I...
