Hank Watson's Garage Hour Podcast

There is no Zuul, only Dana (50 and 60). The Garage Hour goons dove into a Dana 50 steer-axle on an F-250 and it was easy (never done it before). Career guys might laugh, but there's plenty of geeks with tool-skill who might be skeered to take one apart.  Don't be - and the Gearhead Consultancy is here to help. From parts sources like West Coast Diffs and AutoZone, Ventures Truck Parts and Denny's, to the comfort you can get by picking up the phone (geeks unite!), the Dana 50 is easy, and any geek will do (it).

We're here:  It's Colorado time.  Garage Hour goons finally found a free hour (with all the minutes next to each other) to chat beer at Trinity, and it's siptastic.  Hostus Maximus Justin Fort even pinned down Matt Dettmann, the new captain of this beermaking cornerstone, and then it was trube this and yeast that, with Trinity's XToberfest, Wrath of God, Dark Passenger, and guest appearances by Inda Kunindra (YOU spell it), Quadrangle and The Compressor. Because the Gearhead Consultancy is always looking out for you (and what you did wrong), there's also getting beer to India (not just for IPAs) and asking pro brewers and other geeks for help. Called it.

2020 hindsight is still coming to get you, but the Garage Hour goons are in the best place to catch it on the back foot - a gun store in Colordo.  The 2A is back and we're here to help, with Green Tip, the Russian, Wolf, and special guest The Compressor. When the die-down won't lie down and die - it's a more legitimate second wave than the Chinese bat plague ever managed... There's also the usual awesomeness: mixing concrete (not with your hands, Marc), recalling Gov. Know-It-All, the Mask-Fart rule, putting your debris in the dumpster, and why it's stupid to shoot your TV unless you're watching at home.

Put professional gearheads together and good tales from the crazy old days (back when SEMA was still business and not a car party) flow, with the Gravedigger, OE rules for dollar trucks, and all the plans Matt has up his sleeve to rescue 2020 from itself.  Find this guy if you're in the Chicago area - he's one of the best. Matt Dinelli of Attitude Performance (with Mini Matt on-air too, whether he likes it or not), the Garage Hour talks about the new shop, attack racoons and trash pandas, lizards in the walls, musical cars, boating accidents, and why the Chicagoland metroclot is a suburb in search of a better city.

Used cars and trucks - tons of fun get-theres and gearhead entertainment from the candy stores at Craig's List, Bring A Trailer and 100 other used-retail platforms... Americans and geeks of all stripes (Garage Hour listeners, the lot) want to get out and do stuff because they're done with their useless governors' useless masks.  We have a good idea why - let's skillset this thing together. There's a lot of good buys out there, from indestructible luxobarges to undefeated SUVs, handy econoboxes and heavy-duty trucks - and NONE of them are a hybrid.  Let's go drive stuff.

The Garage Hour goons know where to go when your favorite gun store tells you that nice new Glock you ordered will arrive some time in 2021. It's all about the private sale - which forums and web platforms can help, how to use an FFL to make sure it's a good deal, when you can take a risk, and how to cultivate a good relationship with your local firearm dealer. From GunBroker to GunsAmerica, ArmsList to TacSwap, OpticsPlanet and MidwayUSA, Brownells and Palmetto State, we've been there and bought that (then shot that) - let our experience get you to the pew pew you need (or just want, but pretend you need).

So much good (hillclimb) stuff!  The Garage Hour supported this year's PPIHC as a race official and, like usual, lending a helping hand also provided one of the best seats in the house for this iconic American race.  Drivers, racecars, crashes, a lot of stunningly powerful hillclimb cars (OE-based and homebrew specials) and a little bit of weather, everything from ethanol to diesel and race-gas by the gallon - so much good race. This might be one of the cleanest PPIHCs in decades - few crashes, with legit winners and mind-blowing car-control, and the Garage Hour goons were there.

#Becauseracecar!  It's hillclimbing season (when isn't it?) and the PPIHC is running its chop fluey-addled rescheduled race.  It's a little weird being fan-free ('cause kung flu), but the racers are here to race - folks like Dallenbach, Vahsholtz, Zwart, Yoshihara, Donahue, Schranz and more are running everything like a carbon-fiber Z, JZ'd BR-Z, open-wheel this and 50-year old that, Camaros and Mustangs, factory Acuras, and Porsches by the pound.  Power is thick: V8s from the junkyard, blown everything, twin-turbo'd straight-six Buicks and VQs, with diesel power, ethanol power and even - heh - nine-volt power. Jump on board - Hostus Maximus Justin Fort is trackside and grabs as much as iPhonely possible, which turns out to be tons of surprsingly good audio.  Now you go do something fast and awesome.

Don't be a Carl - or any other guy (or gal) like the ones we've all run across.  You know the type - paying more attention to the phone than the road, devicing all over the place, less there than Joe Biden, and making themselves a hazard to everyone they're in traffic with...  Distracted driving kills, and we're here to yell at you about it.  Well, we'll yell at the Carls. There's a lot of basic math going on here - distractions cost lives, whether they're installed at the factory (then hack the crap out of your phone) or put there by ignorant drivers who'd rather pay attention to their ex-girlfriend's twits than the cars in traffic around them.  Oh, and there's also barbecue sauce.

The Gearhead Consultancy has determined that 2020-hindsight is coming to get you, too, so you may as well stock up (you prepper you). More pistols, more gun food, more practice, more burying (nothing) in the backyard, and more safety-blanket buying because it makes (panicked neophytes) feel better.  What could possibly go wrong? At Freedom:30 for another day of gunly goodness, the Garage Hour goons were joined by Green Tip, the Derailment Monster and Thom Billpson (because Vietnam vets can kill you with their cane).
