From the day I bought her until now.

$3.05/gallon on my way home today. Lowest I've seen it since September.

Traded in a 1999 Audi A4 Quattro for my Libby. Loved that car but it's not something the average Joe could work on in his garage. Besides, German cars aren't meant to be owned beyond 50K miles. I've yet to find something on my Libby that can't be accessed and replaced quite easily. Would do...

My tread began coming up through the base, too. I got a slightly larger diameter tube about 2-3" long and slit it length-wise and placed it over the break in the factory tubing. I then used a butt load of zip ties to tighten everything down. So far, so good except when I use the "auto down"...

I called my dealership back and asked for the clevis bolt and the kid on the other end said he didn't know what a clevis was... Yes, that's right... Anyhow, I found the part number for the bolt and was able to figure out the nut. They can't get the bolt until tomorrow and they're not even sure...

But I do need the lower clevis bolt, right? Is there another name that they would call what we call the lower clevis bolt?

Thanks for the pro-tip! I just called and confirmed with Fastenal that the bolt is 10.9 but she said the flanged nut is not. Would I be OK using a 10.9 (if they make it) nut and washer instead of the flange nut? When calling up the dealership, I asked for a lower clevis bolt/nut and told...

So I'm installing my Ironman lift kit and as I got to my last bolt, the lower clevis bolt with the metal tab and the head was rounded. I used map gas on the nut with a breaker bar and had no luck. I eventually split the nut with acetylene and banged it out. Called up the jeep dealership to...

Hey Tom, I just read in an Australian forum that you used a cutting board as a shim under the top plate. Is that true and is so, have any advice?

I just had the same issue a few weeks ago. Ended up getting a replacement bearing at Autozone for $22. It's completely possible to replace this yourself if you're a little handy but you should take care of this soon. If you don't, you could ruin the nose of the compressor and that's some...

I made a roof rack from some iso struts and conduit I had lying around. Ill eventually use a bedliner to cover it but I'm still trying to find a non hazardous way to etch/prime the conduit. If you plan on this route, make sure you DON'T weld conduit!! The fabrication was pretty straightforward...

I dropped my cable down the front defroster vent and fished it out through the stereo. I then pulled the trim on the right and left of my steering wheel and ran the cable under the wheel, zip-tying it along the way. From there I tied it into my stereo fuse.
