i use the old orange junk in the big tub. feels like laundry soap basically, never failed to clean my hands/arms yet. also, if you dont wear gloves its a good idea to scrap your fingernails across a bar of soap before working. the soap keeps junk from building up under your nails. when you wash...

i was asking in another forum about compressors. seemed the general conclusion was capacity isnt the end all answer. if you have 80 gallons but it cant refill that 80 gallons fast enough its wasted. it will take longer to build up the psi you want on a bigger tank also. you want something that...

so whats a good way to protect the radiator and still keep good air flow? i pulled the AC so now my radiator is just out there exposed. i have a ton of debry that builds up pretty quick, lots of potentially harmfull junk hitting it. i plan to go with a nice aluminum radiator soon and dont...

well ok, i pulled the termostat out and thought it was the correct one being 160degrees. i guess the previous owner put the wrong one in, could explain alot of my problems right there. im going to order a stock toyota one and replace it as soon as i can find someone to buy from.
