We are on our way to CA on vacation and my 80 has lost a rear axle seal and is losing a lot of gear oil. Not sure I was to try to make it to Tucson. Anyone know of a place to get it fixed in Benson? I can do it myself, but don't have all the tools or parts needed. Any help or suggestions would...
Just. made a pit stop in Benson, AZ and discovered that my right rear axle seal has failed and is leaking badly. Don't have any spare seals or a seal puller. At the rate it's leaking, I not sure if I can make it into Tucson or not. I could repair it here if I had parts and tools. Will likely...
If anyone is looking for a set of these for their 80, the Discount Tire on MacArthur in Valley Ranch has 3 of them in stock and can get a 4th. Seems that when they ordered me a spare, they put in 4 instead of 1 on the order. :doh: Took a month to get a set of 4 and 6 months for a spare.
Set of five of the old style Goodyear MTRs. Tread depth is 10 to 12/32s, except for the spare which has 16/32s. Quite a bit of rock rash, but no plugs. Spare has only hwy miles. Asking $300.

Anyone have any recommendations on a good a/c shop?
I need to replace my dryer and the expansion valve on my 80. I will likely do the installation of the parts myself, just need a place to recover the freon and then do a evacuate and recharge after the new parts are installed.
Since it now appears that my employment here in the Dallas area is likely to continue (as least for the near future) I need to find some shop space for my toys. Since we will probably continue to rent an apartment until we can sell the house in Kansas City, I need to find some shop space to rent...
As some of you already know, my job at Sprint was eliminated earlier this year. Since then I have been unsuccessful at finding any suitable work here in the KC area, so I have accepted a 6 month contract position with Fujitsu in the Dallas area starting Aug 4.
I have really mixed feelings...
Justin and I arrived at the park at a little past 8:30 Sat morning to find that we were the first to arrive and other than a couple of hardy mountain bikers and the park host, we were the only ones to arrive all day!
That's right, gentle readers, for the paltry sum of $10 each, we had...

Do you ever look at a piece of hardware and wonder, “Why, oh why, did they build it like that?” This is what I’m thinking as I look at my 2001 Volkswagen Passat, a car that is now completely dysfunctional because of an unfortunate (yet easily foreseen) intersection...
Here's my Bi-week rig:
Purchased in 2004 from a friend who was the original owner. It had 250k on it, completely stock, except for 31" tires. First pic was taken just after I installed the lift and Marlin Hy-Steer. Engine is original, except for a new timing chain and guides. Still runs well...

As part of their "Under the Hood" series, a group of engineers from Tech OnLine did a teardown of a brand new Prius.
