Hank Watson's Garage Hour Podcast

You don't crawl, carve, peel or plink your way into the dog days of summer without a little preventative maintenance (and some expensive new parts).  The Gearhead Consultancy took a few minutes to break down the cleanup of K&N (and K&N-style) gauze-based filters, including a few tricks from the diesel universe about getting your cotton (elements) their whitest. There's more than filters in this one: tales of exploded radiators and exploding neighborhoods (stop trying to blow up your neighbors and just give the fertilizer to the plants next time), primers of upcoming episodes (shopping for gun parts in a seller's market), and other assorted Garage Hour goodness.  #Becausegearhead!

There's plenty of theory and reason supporting the hypothesis that how you drive is a good look into the issues that you haul around with you (or don't).  When you descend into a trancelike state-of-traffic that isolates you from the road and removes you from your mortal presence, all kinds of creepy stuff comes out! The Gearhead consultancy takes this episode to peel a few layers back from your Fruedian freeway behavior, but it's only a start - your problems run pretty deep.  Let's hope this episode gives you and your enablers pause, and possibly the motivation necessary to revisit what you call driving but those in the next lane view with horror.

The firearm retailin' folks from Freedom:30 joined the gearhead consultancy for a chat about what to shoot at when you're shooting, including pieces of AR500, hanging targets (like Freedom:30's new mining-bit targets - only in Colorado), and nice junkyard freebies like brake rotors.  There's also yelling about cleaning up once you're done. Because there's more to life than guns (hopefully), this episode's got more: oil leakage, Japanese engines, bench-pressing transmissions, and Yes, we catalog a few more reasons not to buy sh!t made in China.  Then Hostus Maximus Justin Fort bleeps himself.

Sure, sometimes your kids don't fit, but a good day off-road just screams for accessories. Why not bring the child-units along and teach 'em what matters? The history, the technique, the parts and the how-tos - all of it makes smart boys and sharp girls. Better yet, they can't escape. It's in there - basics like what truck and what tires, maintenance guidance, standards and rules to make a weekend with the wife and kidlike objects go right. ...And the Garage Hour is happy to welcome F:30 - that's Freedom:30 Arms of Woodland Park - to the party (pal). Because guns matter.

Gearheads love freedom - freedom to roam, freedom to experiment, freedom to build a Porsche or Chevy or Toyota or Yugo, freedom to blow up pricey parts and then buy more and blow them up too.  The Gearhead Consultancy got together at Freedom:30 Arms to figure out what to set loose - explosively or otherwise - on THIS Fourth of July. How about some recreational shooting?  Family guns?  Camping in the woods (versus glamping and tramping)?  American flags (and where to put 'em)?  What about your freedom to vacation somewhere and stay there?  ...And introducing Silent Sean.

'Tis the season for more 'froading, but too many rock and bonkers tend to ignore a key bit of maintenance: cleaning.  It's not just ball bearings anymore, and the dirt you don't deal with can destroy your truck as much as you will.  Fortunately, the Garage Hour can help you get over the hump on "why" truck detailing matters. From the experts, we've got answers on the important elements:  What soap?  Which water?  Two buckets?  Yellowed headlights?  How to wax?  Polish for powdercoating?  Tire juice but not snot?  What's a dirt sponge?  Can you protect grease?  What about the rubber?

You don't hit the junkyard to look at stuff, it's about parts. Oh, wait, you totally go to geek out on cool bits you don't need, then rush to get everything you came for after wasting an hour fiddling with a set of pulleys that don't fit anything you own. The Garage Hour goons are here to help: a list of tools you need to succeed at the bone yard. Don't worry, it's easy - not what you should get, but what you should bring. There's also a great layer of rock and/or roll, with Primus (Lee Van Cleef!), Dire Straits, Tom Waits, Living Colour, Snail, Sword, Faith No More, Piece Machine, Megadeth, Volbeat, 16-Volt, Perfect Circle and Man Or Astro-man.

Make Sunday funday a run to remember, or country road playtime will wind up being something to regret. The Garage Hour goons are pros at a few things, and a little gearhead gusto on the two-lane blacktop is one of them - the curvier the better. We'll get you a few of the basics in this episode, including obvious stuff like knowing your tires, and weird bits you might've missed (straightening the curve and looking past traffic included). When you're done eyeballing the brake juice and kvetching about the cost of another set of stickies, let's think a few other thoughts about going fast for fun: Who's giving you advice? Who are you running with? Can you ensure your car can take a beating and are you prepared to give it?
