  1. What car should I get?

    I had a Volvo a long time ago. Old beater I paid $500 for. Honestly, it was the absolute best car I ever owned. Worst cars were Mazda and Mitsubishi followed by a VW. I have been driving a Tacoma since 2006. Really reliable, and very few problems. Plenty of places online to talk with others...

  2. Who knows old cars?

    What do you want to know?

    Can a Jeep be too high

    It looks good. 2 concerns: Do you need a rope ladder to get in, and is it tall enough to keep a wife out?

    My new bug out/shtf vehicle.

    Those CUTV/CUCV (can't remember the acronym) Chevys sure were hard to get started on the really cold Korean Winter mornings. Had a real interesting jumper cable. I had an old Dodge pickup I drove all over the country (checking on antennas on top of water towers) like this one, but without...

    My new bug out/shtf vehicle.

    Saw a Kia with a roof rack today. Had an old metal coleman cooler and luggage strapped on. I think it was for that certain look, not for use. I sure would like to get one of those first generation land cruisers. The one that looked like a Jeep.

    New (to me) car

    Koreans have always been good at faking stuff.

  7. What can i do to make gas mileage and maybe horse power better?

    Surrender your manhood! Buy a Prius. I've been driving Rangers and a Tacoma for 15 years. Except for parking lots, I really miss real trucks. I just looked up the K&N system. $330?

    Whats your favorite American muscle car?

    I worked for a farmer who had a 63-1/2 Ford Galaxie 500. Guy was reserved as hell...Until he got behind the wheel of that thing. I totaled a 66 Mustang and a 68 Coronet with a big block (I think a 383) in it as a kid in the early 70's. I had the chance to buy a Nomad with a blown engine...

  9. I need to make a jig/table/bracket/???

    Thanks guys. I think I have it figured out.

  10. I need to make a jig/table/bracket/???

    A member was kind enough to PM me about McMaster-Carr. No luck. What I would like to find are brackets with nylon bushings that will ride on chrome rails. I hadn't thought about the radial arm saw. That might work for part of the project. I'll have to go take a look at a few.

  11. I need to make a jig/table/bracket/???

    I need to make a machine bracket/brace that slides on dual spaced rails. I need to make it glide easily with virtually no wobble or resistance. What I am visualizing is brackets with nylon bushings sliding on round rails. Does anybody know where I can find this kind of stuff locally? I...

  12. time to cut my losses?

    Don't like the color? Candy apple red? Flat black with candy apple flames? A real truck is meant to be used hard on the weekends, not taken to the car detailer. Scratches are like scars; the basis for good stories.

  13. time to cut my losses?

    If you sell it on Craigslist put 2lbs of black under the drivers seat with a proximity switch in your BVD's. That way if they kill you and steal it, they won't ever have to worry about colo-rectal cancer. :D Just kidding. Wouldn't it be cheaper to rebuild it than start from scratch on a full...

  14. Any input of 2004 VW Golf 2.0

    My AC dumped cold water on the passengers feet. Then the AC went out and the defroster was stuck in the on position. When the paint started peeling off the hood, I sold it.

  15. Any input of 2004 VW Golf 2.0

    I had an older VW. I was also told to do so because if the belt failed, there would be major engine damage. They said they replaced the water pump at the same time because it was more cost effective to do it while the belt was being replaced due to labor costs.

  16. Need info about EMP resistant vehicles.

    5 ton with a plow blade to get past everything else stuck in your path. Remember last winter? :) Speaking of winter. When I was in Korea, I got issued an old Dodge truck while everybody else got the diesel blazers and pickups. Can't remember the nomenclature (CUCV I think). I was the only...

  17. Honda Element or Ford Ranger?

    Don't know about that old of a Ranger, but after I got the Tacoma extended cab I realized unlike the Ranger, it is big enough to put your gear, and your wife in the back seat. If she really gets on your case, you can throw her in the truck's bed. With the Element, she'll keep crawling back up...

  18. Replacement Fuel Pump Question...

    Just had a learning moment concerning the innate stupidity of man at the Marietta Toyota service department. Not everyone is totally new at vehicle ownership, and will fall for their BS. I'm thinking about getting an old Jeep as well. Something old enough to work on without relying on two bit...

  19. Replacement Fuel Pump Question...

    Oh for the days... My grandfather was blind. I remember him riding in my dad's Rambler and making comments like "Running a tad rich, don't you think," or Idlin' a touch high, don't you think." The response was always, Yes Sir, I'll take care of it." My uncle told stories of having car issues...

  20. Ford Ranger... whos got one?

    Has a couple. Would be driving one now, but the dealer perturbed me so I went across the street and bought a Tacoma.
