Working my way through some small repairs on my vehicle. My floorboard has some rust issues, nothing major, just a few holes scattered about. The biggest one is about the size of a quarter. I've read some methods on the internet for repairing such holes using fiberglass puddy. Has anyone out...

My commute looks like this: Drive down the mountain about 3 miles, hit the highway, coast about 15 miles to the base, and then roughly two miles to work. Then of course the opposite at the end of the day. Not too much starting and stopping overall. Except for a few months of the year, I'm...

I moved to Alaska and purchased a CUC-V for weekend fun in the mountains. I'm not much of a car-guy, but I'm determined to learn this vehicle so I can maintain it all on my own. I've downloaded the TM's, but does anyone know of a link that has a walkthrough for changing all the various fluids...
