    Oil on spark plug

    Thanks for the replies. I will leave it alone for now and check the coils and plugs after driving for a while. I have a new pcv sitting around here somewhere. I'll get that done for good measure.

    Undercarriage coating Chicago land

    I also used the fluid film spray gun kit. I've never had any problems with overspray or dripping. This stuff is pretty thick and sticky. If you did need to clean up, any degreaser should do (such as Simple Green). And yes, wear old clothes.

    Lightest AT 275/70/R17

    I have been stuck on this subject of trying to justify 275's working for me as well. I gave up. Not looking for E load. I'm going with 255 75 17 in the cooper at3. I still get about a 32" tire without the weight or mpg hit. Plus better in snow. Unless the magic tire comes along in this thread.

    *solved* Transmission mount please advise.

    Curious what led to replacing the crossmember. Assuming a hit of some kind, if so how do you think it held up? Every now and then I catch a glimpse of mine and think something is falling off, then I realize how low it hangs compared to everything else under there.

    Best "just plug in" headlight upgrade?

    I just did the H9 and 9011 conversion yesterday. Trimming the bulbs took all of 10 - 15 minutes, taking my time and all. Replacing the bulbs takes about 5 minutes, even with my shrek hands. I'm very happy with the upgrade. To the OP, when people say modify, it's as simple as clipping off...

    Car Camping in the 5th Gen

    I bought a cot from walmart for $40. The kind with 3 hooped legs. The legs closest to the front can be partially folded to rest on top of the flipped up seat. I can store gear, snowboards etc under it. I'm 6' and sleep fine. This setup works great for 1 person but for 2 I would use a dedicated...

    What do you guys think of my new wrap

    Great job with the wrap but I don't like the trees in the background so you're going to have to get rid of the 4runner. The internet has spoken.
