    Happy Fathers Day !

    Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there with children young and old. Both here and some whom have passed. I know I will quietly raise a glass to my Old Fella today as I wish he was still here. One of my favourite lines from him was when my daughter was young and teething. I asked him...

    Torsen or Eaton in a 7.5 ?

    OK OK flame on. I know I should not dump any money in my worn out Auburn 7.5 rear. It's a little sketchy now as sometimes both wheels hook, sometimes it's a single wheel. Makes a difference in the way you expect it to react around say a "wet"corner where traction may be an issue ...

    Rampage in NS

    My heart goes out to these people. Cannot believe that something like this has happened in the Maritimes of Canada. My Condolences to all. Obviously if the guy had a Mock Cruiser and Uniform it states a pre-meditation to the events that unfolded...

    Hydroboost Head scratcher

    Short story... lent my van to a friend for the week whilst his truck is in for repairs. Driving home in a snowstorm tonight he said brakes went to the floor in heavy traffic ( with his grand baby and son in the van with him). They pulled in to a parking lot and can find no leaks. Limped it...

    What is your legacy ?

    OK truth be told I am much closer to 50 than 40. I have 2 kids and neither are in the least interested in what I do for work, (and other than the Monte) the car I drive or any of my other possessions. Both parents are gone now and we as a family have gone thru all their worldly possessions...

    How to keep mice out ??

    Really don't want to leave the car in the driveway under a cover another winter. Dont have the scratch this winter to put it up in the heated warehouse I used to. I have a good friend who said I can park it in his barn for free but there is likely mice. What is the lesser of 2 evils ?

    Door bottom seam required ?

    Question for you panel beaters. Doors ( and cab corners ) on my work truck are rotted ( because fjord ). I picked up a less rotted set but they required replacement of the inner door bottom. The outside of the door is fine, but the inner on both were flaky and soft 6" in from either end and...

    Over 40 and thinking of a new career ?

    I am on the verge of signing another 1 year lease on my unit and for some reason it is really weighing heavy on me this year. 12 years ago I started my own company as the lone employee. It has grown over the years and shrank back to just me again 4 years ago. Wife has been 100% supportive...

    Removing Salt Stains ?

    Anyone have some tried-and true salt stain remover ? The last few years we get calcium sprayed on the roads in addition to all the damn salt. I get after my DD van a couple times a winter ( when it gets above freezing ) with some warm water / white vinegar in a 50/50 mix and the wet dry...

    I called looking for pricing and its all over the map. 5 gal pail is $207.95+ shipping one place and $ 609.21 at another. My local jobber can get it for $279 at his cost but he needs to make some $$ on it too. I can understand a slight variation in price but that's nuts. I fired off an email...
