    Fixing an "uh oh" and what I've been up to

    You guys got me thinking now. It would require a lot of prep and taping, but I was going to get some of the textured rustoleum to touch up the powder coating that got ripped up on my rock sliders (keeps the factory paint along the bottoms of the doors from getting smashed up). I could probably...

    Fixing an "uh oh" and what I've been up to

    So I've kinda been MIA for a while. Mostly crazy combinations of managing to tweak an elbow or shoulder and not be able to do much detailing on the Jeep in the last 6 months or so. I'm back though :). So I stuck this here because even though it's also a help request, it's not really for...

    Cicada Cooking

    LOL I'd do it once just to say I did it. Yes, I have watched WAYYYYY too many episodes of Bizarre Foods. The thing is, he's right, I've tried some crazy stuff in the last couple years and been pleasantly surprised most of the time :)

    My Poor car

    Wow, ok that info related to Geico is making me want to jump ship to another insurer. Years ago (mid-90's) I had a car accident and was with Safeco at the time. (don't know if they're even still around) Their estimate was MORE than the body shop. I did not go to an "approved" body shop...

    Got a new car...

    LOL you got lucky. I took delivery of my Jeep literally a week and a half after it rolled off the line (ordered it). The new car smell was literally pretty sickening. I couldn't wait for it to tone down lol. Oh yeah, my sales guy thought I was nuts as well for telling them not to wash it.

    Proud to say, I got a new dog!

    Wow, isn't 6 weeks too early? Here in CA at least you can't take a dog before 8 weeks unless something happened to the mom. Nice looking dog though. We had a Springer when I was really young (up until around 7 years old) but he often escaped the backyard. The last time he never came back :(...

    My Black Jeep Wrangler.. When I first started detailing

    It's shade mesh that gets strapped to the rollbars. Knocks out most of the UV and keeps the temps down but you still get some open air feel. Note this is not my image, it's from their site. I don't seem to have a good picture of it on my Jeep from last season... Thanks :) It's not...

    My Black Jeep Wrangler.. When I first started detailing

    Nice looking Jeep. I bet that spiderweb shade comes in handy down there in the summer. Sure did last summer here in California.

    New Super Car?

    Looks a lot like a Lamborghini Aventador on roids to me. I like it though.

    New SS (2% increase) tax in effect

    I guess technically it's not really an increase. A temporary cut just expired and the SS tax went back to its "proper" level. I was hoping it would get extended again, but it doesn't look like it :(

    The One That Got Away

    Wish I still had my 71 Nova. It was my 1991 HS grad present. The original owner had it for like 15 years and was a car restorer so it was in great shape when my grandparents acquired it as the 2nd owners. I wanted to keep it and build it into a street rod but being in the Navy I had nowhere...

    Glass scratch correction anyone had to do this?

    Thanks for the info, I might have to try that stuff. My Jeep has a couple of windows that have a scratch all the way up them where some grit got caught in the felt where the window goes into the door.

    What's better than Rain-X?

    I'll definitely recommend Aquapel. I had it on my cars when I lived in Seattle and it would last 5-6 months before really showing signs of wearing off. It rains, a LOT, in Seattle too so it got a lot of use. I was going to try to get enough to do it myself on my Jeep on all windows (previous...

    What Kind of Dog Do You Have?

    Our Boxer puppy Bruno. He's 14 weeks old in this picture from a long Christmas day. He turns 16 weeks tomorrow and gets his final puppy shots on Monday so he'll be able to go out into the real world soon.

    Who does not?

    I solved the roof problem. I can't really buff mine lol. About all I can do with it is seal it.
