    Anybody with hot water heater knowledge?

    Any water in there? I had one recently where a pinhole in the tank was leaking down and putting out the pilot.

    Vehicle painting?

    Yeah, I think you're supposed to stay on top of a plasti-dip paint job and add additional coats or something before it starts getting too crappy. So definitely more maintenance than other options. I did the center hump of my ratty looking hood on the 80 and it came out not looking so hot, but...

    Vehicle painting?

    Anyone plasti-dipped their vehicle? It's pretty cheap, supposedly easy to do, and non permanent.

    Hypermiling while on your expedition

    Can't tell if this is a dumb question, or an intentional and well-crafted very funny RME inside joke. Either way... it's awesome. :rofl:

    Hypermiling while on your expedition

    I have the scanguage and it works for my needs, but I would not get it just to monitor mileage. It isn't worth the price. And honestly it is pretty outdated. I bought mine maybe seven years ago and they still sell the exact same one. I bought mine to monitor coolant temp more than anything...

    Hypermiling while on your expedition

    Another way to put it: Get better mileage: -Keep your truck as stock as possible -Lose weight -Drive slow -Spend more money than you will save (diesel conversion, regear, new tires, etc) Get longer range: -Any of the above -Carry more fuel Having fun is the ultimate goal, so I vote for...

    Hypermiling while on your expedition

    Trying to save money on gas by making expensive changes to your vehicle is a waste of time, especially if you have a gas hog to start with. Regearing, buying new tires (retireing?) etc would all take forever to break even, especially with fuel prices the way they are. Do them if they help you...

    Wanted Anyone have a source for Scepter MFC viton gaskets?

    Looking for viton gaskets for my Scepter MFCs. I think I had rubber gaskets in all mine cause all the cap flanges are broken now. So I need cap flanges too. All the places I'm finding with google will cost near $100 to get my four cans in good shape.

    Request for info Providence Canyon - Logan

    Well, how was it? It's been forever since I've been up there. Definitely a fun trail. I figured it would be paved by now, so I'm glad to hear its still in bad shape. :greg: Is that the case? Post pics!

    Had better luck in Wyoming

    There are no animals or fish in Wyoming. There are also no good trails, no good camping, no mountains, or cool deserts. Utah got all the good stuff. Might as well just stay there.... ;)

    Small trucks - tell me what you know!

    Has anyone ever seen a US toyota pickup with a factory diesel engine? I've heard rumor of them, but never seen one. Are they actually around? Not as powerful as a 20 or 22R I assume, so nobody wants them? Wonder what the mileage in those things is...

    79-83 Toyota fenders

    Still got mine for free if you can come get them at the end of next week.

    looking for bigger grocery getter....

    For that price range its definitely gonna be high mileage, a lot of maintenance, and more of the same as what he's got. I love my 80 more than anything, but it doesn't have tons of leg room, is really slow, horrible mileage, and overall really really bad for city driving. Tahoe sounds like...

    Windshield Replacement

    Since we're on the topic of glass: Do local glass shops buy their windshields from OEM, or is it all aftermarket? Is it as good quality? I need one for the 80 but I'm afraid of things that don't say Toyota on them.

    Which Shotgun to get?

    Also of note, some shotguns come with something in the magazine tube to prevent you from putting more than 3 in there to be legal for bird hunting. It can be taken out, but make sure you have it in when you go hunting. If you don't have one, cut a dowel or something to length. Its easy to...

    Which Shotgun to get?

    The two basic good choices of 12 ga pump shotguns are the Remington 870 series and the Mossberg 500 series. Both come in every length, finish, shape, magazine tube length, etc that you could ever want and both are very modifiable as far as different barrels, tubes, stocks, grips, etc. Both are...
