So I'm on vacation in Worcester, MA seeing a college buddy. We go to the bar and the next thing I remember I backed into some jeep and bend the rim all to hell on it. You should have seen it, I only hit the rim. It was the weirdest thing. Funny thing is it looked like the jeep was used for plowing snow and it was going to snow there the next day. Of course I hauled a$$ out of there as soon as I could before someone called the cops.

That's kind of F'd up.

I was hoping for a back story cause as it is it sounds really fd up
-
Nice John. That is why I love you. But yeah. You didn't back into it. You f**king hit it going like 50. Move the thing over a foot. Oh yeah and it had a pLow on the front. Oh yeah did I also mention. We are getting 8 inches of snow tonight. Ugghhh. WTF. Now I have to have a buddy do the lot.

Creamed the side of a brandnew ford pickup with a Dodge fullsize van in a parking lot my first winter here 8 years ago, damn straight I hauled ass.
Karma is a bitch though because I had my jeep hit twice while parked , hit and run.

:P . . .

Hey I just bought a 2000 Laredo I am restoring it to original, the jeep is bad ass fully loaded and was thinking about a plow, think it can handle it?
I should take some pics of an awesome trick I learned. You know the plastic cladding on all jeeps it fades to light grey over time, well the best way to bring it back to black or dark grey is to use a heat gun. I bought one for four bucks at a flea market and it works awesome, its like painting it works so well.
-
Wait, do you use a heat gun at the shop? I use them to flash left chests or to flash prints while setting them up. It's a great spot flash.
-
It has also been mentioned that a heat gun can be invaluable in the ink room to check color mixes.

I keep 2 around. Get the wagner guns from walmart...

the heavier ones are a pain to use on a regular basis.

@ Inkman did you know peanutbutter brings life and shine back to your plastic fenders...just use some creamy peanutbutter a little on a rag and wipe it down and it allso protects the plastic.

Thanks Daryll I might try that. After I heat gun all the plastic back to black i was going to try a product called Mothers Black its supposed to protect the fading from happening again but hey peanut butter who knew lol.
-
Well, since it was Sam's jeep... ;D

Mothers Black is great, but peanut butter? You'll have every dog within 5 miles licking your fenders.

Which is another way to keep the plastic hydrated!

That's what I was thinking... maybe that's how it keeps the fenders so shiny. :)

carb cleaner clears up foggy headlights

I did both head lights. I bought four different grits starting at 400 ending at 4000. Then I got the buffing wax and buffing pad to finish it off, they look brand spanking new! Used a drill and attachment and wet sanded all stages to keep the heat down. Do not waste your money on one of those restoration kits for thirty bucks for about ten bucks you can buy all you need and have more than enough to get the job done.
