The gas door on my truck has become the bane of my existence. After all, at $3.50 a gallon, going to the pump isn’t fun anymore — in fact, it irritates the hell out of me. If I had an ‘07+ Tundra though, I could make the gas-getting experience a little more fun with the […]

After 13 years of sun, the stock rubber moldings across the rockers of my ‘95 Chevy Silverado had peeled and turned brown. Even though I knew it wasn’t going to be pretty and perfect under the trim, I also knew it would look better after I took off the old stuff. As it turned out, […]

I’m old. Not like dinosaur old, but once I hit 30 it was all downhill from there. Knees feel achy, my hands cramp up, and I’m heavier — oh, the benefits of aging. The BedStep by Amp Research is one of those accessories that I thought was retarded when I was 20. […]

Last week we talked about how after five months of trying I finally sold my custom ride, and just before that we talked about shopping for a good tow vehicle. But as of Friday my wife was still jobless, so I changed my mind about dropping $20k on a truck — it just didn’t […]

A few months ago I wrote a post titled “How To Sell A Custom Car,” in which I outlined the different options for custom car owners who’re trying to sell their ride. Well, no one was biting, even after I dropped the price $5,000 from my original price point.  But when my wife lost her […]
