So I just bought a Warrior the other day and the plastics look a little aged. After seeing the prices of new plastics, I thought about just painting them. Any recommendations on how to do this? Which paints are the best for this? What about prep stages? Is it worth it, or will the paint most...

Normally I am all for stiff sentences imposed on drunks, but I don't know in this case. I don't know how close of friends the guys were.. he might be going through more of a hell right now that any prison could produce. If he is at home with a beer in his hand and laughing his ass off right now...

My dad bought a Nissan for dirt cheap that was squashed by a tree. I looked a lot like a Pathfinder, but it wasn't. It was basically a pickup truck and bed, with the rear of the bed and front of the bed cut out, and fiberglass panels between the two and for the top. After tearing away the panels...

Uh, the fishing licenses only went up to $44.35 from $44.16 last year for the combo, or $24 from $23.90 last year for freshwater. I really wouldn't call that jacking up the prices.... :stirpot: :flipoff: I want to go fishing in a certain stream.... I have to wait until June, and no guarantees...

If you are going to sell it, this is good advice :cool: Even an el-cheapo Macco paint job and fender flares will make it worth 10 Waggy's.... :fawkdancesmiley: (Or full size broncos :booo:)

I am sure that is a stuck he will never forget :awesomework:

Congrats! :awesomework:

Maybe Toyotas aren't are expensive as others make them out to be after all.... anyways, congrats on getting it back on the road :awesomework:

Is it that easy to kill a 'Yota?? Man... with the thefts and easily cooked motors, I am glad I have a Ford :fawkdancesmiley: Like the other poster said.. try replacing the spark plugs and see if that gets you anywhere... if not, remove oil cap, throw rest of truck away, roll new truck under...

Is this some kinda late April Fool's Day Prank?? Blue exhaust is a clear sign of burning oil... most likely a head gasket... Did you check the current rad coolant level? Oil level? What do they read? Does the motor turn over at all? If it just died at the stop sign it might be ok... but still...

I will probably be up in Packwood that weekend... :tumbleweed:

I have a stock 400 Ford with a regular circle style air filter on top... I went through a tank trap and the motor went dead. I don't know if it was from water shorting out the spark plugs, or sucking in too much water through the air filter. I would say it was silty stuff after I stirred it up a...

Shoulder belts have been around for decades, but they weren't mandatory in cars until around 1975. My '72 pinto had "optional" shoulder belts. The hooked onto the lap belt if you wanted to use them.

I agree.... You all suck.... Cause I am jealous too! :redneck:

Why is it so long? Looks about the same length as my buddies, but all he hauls is quads. He once towed a friends busted 1500 series pickup and the trailer almost broke in too. (The stock axles held the weight, the rest almost didn't)
