Great How-To Detailing Videos

Not sure how many of you are subbed to the /DRIVE channel over on Youtube, but they occasionally run this guy's videos. He's an amazing auto-detailer out on the east coast. Definitely seems to know...

Re: What was your biggest pos car?

1986 Chevy Nova was my first car. It was a solid little car, but definitely not going to turn any heads. This was the exact color scheme just in a hatchback.

Re: Homebrew Thread

That right there is amazing. Well done sir. I thought we were sitting nice with our coolers and Blichmann kettle.

I'll snap some photos later tonight.

Re: Sas turning my truck to a crawler

If money isn't much of a concern, you could look at something like spidertrax. Their Spider 9 axles are sweet stuff. Spendy, but can be built super tough.

Re: SAS 98 ford ranger HELP!!!

If you are doing an SAS, it's all about customizing it. Sounds like you are just looking for someone to hand you a parts list and bolt everything on. That ain't going to happen. You can get lift...

Re: maggied6.0ranger - Buyers beware

To be fair, he bought the kit from me originally over on RPS. I've removed the thread from RPS per their classified rules, but you can find a copy of the same listing I had over on R-F.

Re: Fusible Starter Link

I don't really know why they'd want to add one unless they have specifically had issues with Rangers before, or if in your case something happened with the wire that was connected to the starter and...

Re: Homebrew Thread

I can vouch for that. I've moved kegs before. Previously, when I wasn't living with my girlfriend (now wife) we'd brew and age at my place since I had room, and then just keep the kegs on tap at...

Re: Homebrew Thread

Any reason you guys don't just have wort chillers? We made our own for like $50 bucks, most of which was getting adapters to hook it up to our sink. Not too bad. I think a new one from Midwest is...

Re: Minnesota

Doesn't that scratch your arm up when you use it as an arm rest? Or did you do something different on the arm rest part?

Re: "Monster" 2004 4.0 4x4

IMO, that's all the more reason to stay away from this truck. If the guy has no idea what is actually on his truck or what was done to his truck by a shop, that's not good.

Re: Coby's '99 Ranger XLT (always a work in progress!)

If you have more questions, I'd say open up a new thread. Don't want to load up Coby's thread with off-topic stuff.

But from what I remember the kit just came with some adjustment brackets. ...

Re: "Monster" 2004 4.0 4x4

Agreed. A 3" Suspension lift with an excessive exo cage don't make it a "Monster". And I'd want to really look over those welds.

Don't know how it'd be different. It's just 3" pucks between the body and the frame. :)
