    PCV Valve - Rubber Grommet

    Listen very closely, because you're in the same situation I was in when I changed my PCV. The grommet is really dry-rotted, and will come off in small chunks which can fall down into the hole, potentially clogging an oil passage. Mine split clean in two then I tried to pull it out, and the...

    3rd Gen Running 33" Tires with No Lift

    Rear end Rust/leak w Pics..

    Brush Guards and Tail Lamp Guards

    I bought a brush guard. I hate it. As soon as it contacts something at speed, it's gonna crunch right back into your grille due to the weak mounts.

    In Need: Recommendation of plastic-to-metal adhesive

    If your fender is that rusted, then the frame around the lower rear control arms is most likely roached.

    Smittybilt Tail Light Guards Question

    Tail light guards that mount to plastic? You're better off just risking a rock kncking one out, as mounting the guard into plastic will do nothing.

    98 Rotted Rocker Panels Replacement?

    If your rockers are that rotted, make sure to check your frame for rot. The frame typically rots before the body starts to.

    Extremely rusted brake calipers. Pins stuck?

    If your calipers are that rusted, then your frame is probably roached. Make sure the vehicle is structurally sound before putting any money into it.

    You need a small subaru car if you wanna save on fuel. Plus, it'll have AWD to help cope with the winter conditions.
