50% ATF + 50% Acetone = better than any commercial penetrating oil

I've heard this from numerous people but never tried it.

I lost a race to a 67 Chevelle 396 SS lol. Watching him go around a corner at 60 with his front right tire almost off the ground was nerve racking though

Did the same thing but i tapped out!!! I was so close too. I knew i didnt have the driver to tighten the inverted torx heads so i threw n the towel acter i got my ignition lock off. I couldnt get the assembly to slide off. Just wouldnt come. What size of inverted torx is that anyway?

I found out I am in a love/hate relationship with my grand cherokee. When she works fine I love her but when she breaks I hate her.
Today I've given up on the O2 emissions issue, I figured that when I got my Jeep she did not have catalytic converter, therefore, no oxygen sensor in the pipe! Hence O2's always been high in levels. I'm planning to pass the inspection with 4.5% hopefully.
So in the meantime and to compensate, I've changed the boot for the front right axle which was leaking grease, and the 4 bushings! bill keeps on going up.

Fixed my headlight angles so the cue-tips. Don't get crabby when my headlights hit their rear view mirrors. As we speak I'm putting 4 rear tj flares on to replace my stock ones and pass an inspection.

(cue-tip; noun- slang word for old ladies with white hair an a ridiculous perm)

Reinstalled my front fender flare and then went and picked up my Dad from the Hospital. He had heart surgery Friday morning. I'm sure he didn't enjoy the ride. It's no cadillac. Thats for sure and Oklahoma roads are bumpy as hell.

Noticed a grinding in the right front when I turn left hard or hit. Bump. Pretty shure its the wheel bearing. Black Betty is starting to **** me off and make me go buy a civic to drive every day. :/
