    BEWARE: Geico Claims

    Oh, to get back on subject... Gieco didn't screw you, you screwed you. Understanding the legal parts of contracts is something a majority of people don't do. Just now, you probably clicked the "Accept" on updating your iTunes, I guarantee you didn't read the part where you give Apple...

    BEWARE: Geico Claims

    Except loss ratios is a huge part of lessening your tax burden. The higher a business's losses, the more they can write off on end of quarter taxes and lower the overall owed amount to the IRS at end of fiscal year. As long as the adjusted income/earnings figures to their investors, stock...

    Four bad shock/structs?

    Change them all, if you can't afford something fancy like Bilstiens, get something cheap from AutoZone or something. Anything is better then busted, especially when your talking braking in wet weather. Tires will eventually become damaged ("cupping") because of wheel hop on the highway. They...

    What did everyone pay for their 4th gen?

    Need help!!

    Meh. If the lights are off on the dash and the vehicle is driving fine with no engine shutter, strange shifting or anything else out of the ordinary, I wouldn't worry about it. That computer is measuring lots more to self-diagnose then your code reader is going to disclose.

    Front Axle leaking grease

    If you turn the wheels completely to the right and left and you don't hear clicking while your driving, then I'd keep those puppies as long as you can. Don't replace them until you hear the clicking, (even then, you can drive those things for probably 15,000 miles after the clicking starts...

    MPG affected that much by tires?

    Thats about what my 6 banger is getting with my current size tires. 15mpg on a good day, I also commute around 40 miles one way all highway as I live and work right off the highway. But the on-board computer says I get 17-18mpg. That don't match me common-core math though!

    Snow and the 4th gen TRs

    These are what I've used in the past for my other 4x4's. Spectacular tires! Cheap, great traction, quiet and most importantly, last a long freaking time :) I've been really impressed with Continental for these tires. These are also the brand of tires I use for my Acura car. They've lasted...

    How to install new CV Axles

    CV Shaft Seal FAIL! So, just the seal was leaking on the driver's side. But leaking a full quart of gear oil every 2 days. Knocked the outer CV Shaft from spindle and then tried to pull the inner knuckle from the transfer case. NOPE. Big pry bar didn't work. Ended up using a hammer and...

    Photos of 4th Gen ARB bumper

    ARB look, Someone asked what it looks like from the inside looking out with these ARB bumpers; while this doesn't really give you the full effect of the overall look, hopefully this helps. Oh, and try not to judge my Acura... she's old and 400,000 miles... I know, put her to pasture... sheesh...

    Photos of 4th Gen ARB bumper

    Wing guards My only complaint so far about this bumper is the lack of "wing" plates underneath the sides of the bumper. You need to trim the Inner Fender Well Liner (IFWL) to fit, however once you do, the forward part of the IFWL has nothing to anchor to... it’s a big gaping hole that...

    You will have to re-wire your current turn signals and splice the existing wires to the new blinker housing. Even if you don't know what your doing, it should take 30 min to do.
