    Some scumbag broke my driver side mirror, this is after someone ripped off my passenger side (sidewalk side, and stole half of it) a couple months ago. At least this time it looks like they passed too close with a vehicle, maybe not maliciously. How do I replace just the glass in the mirror...

    Feel stupid asking but I'm tired from work and annoyed which usually is not a good way to work with a vehicle in my experience.. Check engine and rough running, I know how to jump the wire and count the flashes but can't find the dang plug.

    I know for a lot of you the RBV IS the toy, but some have other fun stuff as well. In my case my Ranger is the DD/ski beast so my 06 Mustang GT (with a few mods :D ) can sleep safely all winter. So let's see your NON-RBV toy (be it a car, bike, atv, etc)

    D35 discs, bearing race replaceable?

    My 95 4x4 D35 has eaten through bearings AGAIN, I am getting 15,000 miles out of them if I am lucky.
