    Speakers shortage

    Head gaskets... make or break time

    i'm not sure Joey, unfortunately Driveways, and garages are one of those luxuries only dreamt about, and not so common in manhattan. though, i have done a good amount of work myself in an upstate residence, there is a point when you've got to get the damn thing fixed, and get it back on the...

    sitting on the bump stops

    i've found them a little cheaper, air shocks a while back i had some trouble with the airshocks, and replacing them every 2-4 years in the northeast can get costly. they say these things can drive from the north poll to the south, but the damn cold can blow the shocks! i found a cheaper and...

    Head gaskets... make or break time

    I've had my "99 Disco II for about 4-5 years. it was beautiful, and still is, but i need to know if i should get over it. (and the 1st thing i did was replace the xenons and get a basket, so no jokes) I don't drive it too often, no commute, mainly just drive around looking for parking in NYC...

    Strange vibrations at 60 mph

    local mech. giving me the ride i brought the truck in to my local guy, who hasn't really been the most knowledgeable and honest mech. i've known but for things that i've researched i can usually keep him in line. well, this is the guy that told me that he was 90% sure that i needed new tires...
