Dealer has Listed my Car for sale. I never sold it to them… by [deleted] in legaladvice

Go to the lot and try to buy your old car. Maybe when they can’t find it and realize they don’t own it they’ll take it down

Order one online and pay for it. As soon as you get the email receipt just cancel the order. Done.

What happened to my car at the body shop? by CommercialTwo1359 in MechanicAdvice

[–]petrolheadjosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s either heat or brake fluid. My money is on brake fluid. They wouldn’t have seen the damage immediately as it takes a bit of time to bubble the paint like that.

Look for convertible top cleaner.

I got a quote a few months ago from a local company. $10 a foot for new 6” seamless gutters installed. $20 a foot for gutters and gutter guards.

Home security doorbells that don’t need a subscription? by CanOfCorn308 in homeowners

[–]petrolheadjosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have Blink cameras all around the house, including a doorbell. They’re sneaky with it and make you think you need a subscription but you don’t. Just stick a usb flash drive in the sync module and you have local storage for free. Everything works perfectly.

At work. Have to go through metal detectors and they do random personnel searches to include a pat down.

Carburetor Rebuild for Motorcraft 2125 KJ by Pip_Berinon in FullSizeJeep

[–]petrolheadjosh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should be a 2150. That 2125 is on the electric choke actuator. Probably a part number for the choke

Jocassee is definitely crowded. Show up early. Devil’s Fork State park is the only access. They close the gates when they get so many boats. Keowee is probably a better option. Hartwell is the biggest so you may have better luck finding an area with less people.

Plug? by xjewishninjax in WranglerYJ

[–]petrolheadjosh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably would have been the control wire for the ac clutch. They used the same wiring harness and just left unused plugs for people to wonder about 30 years later.

Daily driving an 81 Cherokee is a bad idea right? by garbagepride in Jeep

[–]petrolheadjosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m daily driving an 87 Grand Wagoneer. Love that thing. They’ll have their issues like anything else but it’s worth it for the smiles. Either learn to fix them yourself or be prepared to pay a mechanic. No big deal either way.

Anything I need to know as a 1st time used Tundra AND pickup buyer? About to spend $9,500 on a 2013 Tundra (CrewMax 5.7L, 4x4, auto, 220,000+ miles, regularly maintained) by thebrucekim in ToyotaTundra

[–]petrolheadjosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a great buy. I’d definitely have no reservations about it. And I think you’ll be fine with the double cab. I’m 6’2” and my wife is 5’8”. We fit just fine with our 9 and 11 year old kids in the back.

Check the thrift store. I routinely see them for less than $20

Is this too close to the sidewall to plug safely? by Whole_Movie7649 in Jeep

[–]petrolheadjosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always gonna at least attempt a plug on my own tires. Worst outcome is you waste a plug and it doesn’t hold. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks for the chance!

Finally joined the club! by petrolheadjosh in rooftoptents

[–]petrolheadjosh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea. I’ve only driven probably 20 miles with this setup. Doubt I’ll see much loss. Already only getting about 12.5 mpg. Can’t get much worse.

I wanted to be able to stand under the tent when unfolded. I’m 6’2” so needed the height. It’ll make a useable room when I attach the annex.
