I do all of my own routine maintenance, like up-keep and whatnot.
Oil changes, spark plugs, radiator flush.. etc.
Sometimes I do bigger stuff, but it's difficult because I don't have many tools
even I'm not daunted by things like oil changes and spark plug replacement
fluids are some of the easier things to maintain
things like when I wrecked my car, I mean I like DIY and all but I'm letting a professional take care of that
Engine work I'm no genius in.
Bodywork,electrical,interior I can do.
Thank god I recently got a AC'd shop that I can work on my cars.

Ohh and I'm at work, when I clocked in there was over 200 cookies and like 600 donuts for us to eat.
2 hrs later CRUMBS
I wanted a cookie :(
free food is guaranteed to be gone before you get around to getting some
so get your free food before you try to get free food
My job has no break rooms, or vending machines, or anywhere to sit for breaks (except the lounge for customers) :(
We have free starbucks coffee here though, so there's that at least :v:
Damn it, still no PCM in sight, no mails back, what the christ. Motor's not yet in the car, but is ready to. Picture I took before readying it yesterday.

All that time.. and money.
At least you don't have to worry about having problems with your fan anymore? v:v:v
Sure it's the alt not the idler pully?

[QUOTE=The ad translated.] Engine-wise it's in great condition, the gearbox is a bit worn but it works. Just painted it orange (real fucking neat) call or email for more info![/QUOTE]
Mileage: ~111800 miles
Price(converted to USD): 4 551,24$
Requested more images, especially of the undercarriage and the interior. But since the seller is from the northern part of Sweden where they hardly ever (never?) use salt there is a small chance of it being rusty.

I always would never want to wash my car for this reason, but with that logic, why clean anything

Next week im super-cleaning the exterior and RainX'ing the windows
alternator shall be picked up tomorrow morning
Video of me singing or something borderline gay in my jeep when its back on the road possibly incoming.
I need to rain-x my windows too
everytime so much as the sprinkers go off the water leaves all kinds of dirt and shit on the windows. I've had to run my wipers every time I've turned on the car this week
FYI: Rain-X Interior Defogger is bull shit.
[editline]24th August 2012[/editline]
Just reseal your windows and turn up the heat.

Because jews.
defogger? who the fuck actually buys that shit
Not me...naw, I bought some back when I first got my truck because my windows fogged up something fierce. It's literally just rubbing alcohol. Turned out the seal along the top of the back window was bad so I sealed it back up, now I can't slam my door with both windows rolled up.

if its not the 350 or some other motor dropped in, its pretty much worthless.
ok maybe not worthless but the v6 was literally awful and i guess the 305 can be decent with a lot of mods
