    Scary lesson to learn

    Its kinda hard to blame the shop though. I mean really the shop can say the previous owner made the mistake. Im not sure if I go to the shop with the receipts not even in my name what they would do for me. If they offer a discount theres no way id even use it, why get more poor service from...

    Scary lesson to learn

    I bought a used jeep cherokee last week and gave it a good once over before driving. I didnt see anything wrong with it before I bought it or during the once over so thought it was cool to drive. I had to make a sudden sharp turn, after that turn the front end was making a thumping sound and...

    Buying an older jeep cherokee

    I did forget to mention which ever I go with it will be automatic for certain. Ive herd they are pretty much bomb proof. Everyone Ive ever known with a jeep says they have had manual trans issues. Also the rear diff. I read the chrysler(the case is flat on the bottom?) is way better than the...

    Buying an older jeep cherokee

    Max offroad like I said likely just some trails or dirt roads. Ive never had a 4x4 before so Im not sure how much Ill hit offroad. Again no serious rock crawling or anything. I know theres tons of desert trails around here I can go find. Id like to be able to tow a trailer with some dirt...

    Buying an older jeep cherokee

    So, as if the supra doesnt eat all my money and effort Im looking to add another vehicle to the mix. I was set on a regular mid 90s i6 cherokee 4x4, I really liked the boxy look of them. Now ive flip flopped over to the grand cherokee v8 4x4 and its sexy curves. I keep holding out to find the...

    2004 Honda CB 600 - Buy for $2000 ?

    Well a bike thats been riden hard can end up being garbage. Alot of wheelies can leave the motor oil starved. Coming down hard from the wheelies will screw up the front springs/frame. Alot of launching prolly has killed the chain and worn the clutch. Most likely it will need new tires, I wouldnt...

    2004 Honda CB 600 - Buy for $2000 ?

    Personally I would never buy a sport bike thats been 'ran hard'. It most likely spent more time on 1 wheel than 2. If its been dumped then theres chances of frame damage that you may not be able to notice. I knew a guy on a bike forum that dumped his bike a few times and didnt think anything of...

    Poor paint, wax question

    Ya Im going to repaint eventually but not any time soon. Money for me right now is better spent on making it run better than look good lol. At the same time though if a coat of wax will help Im all for that. I just dont wanna strip off the rest of the paint in the process.

    Poor paint, wax question

    Ill try to get some, but I mean its just maroon and you can see a goldish shine in parts. Im guessing the gold is the under/prime coat? If you rub your hand on the roof or hood your hand turns maroon lol. Dam arizona sun has killed my paint.

    Poor paint, wax question

    Ok, when I wash my car the paint comes off leaving sponges and towels maroon. Im considering a wax job on it but wondering if its gonna help or makes things worse. I want to use a power buffer(non orbital low rpm and all that). Im just worried if a sponge takes paint off how much paint will a...
