Re: "Rice Rocket'
For me on mpg I try to average a few fill ups. Record your starting mileage. Then on your next fill up, record the mileage and amount of gallons to fill. Then on the next two do the same thing. After the three fill ups you can come up with a good average by dividing the total miles driven by the # of gallons used.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
next time to avoid locking up pump the brakes. With standard brakes that keeps them from locking up. On newer vehicles with ABS, the vehicle basically pumps the brakes for you. That's why you will feel the gas pedal "shaking" if you slammed the brakes on a new car. It's basically pumping them super fast.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
Got a parking brake cable on the line!!! Hopefully I that fixed/working in the comming week!
Worked on my hitch today, its REALLY rusty in between the metal (sandwiched). So I cut the welds and and grinding to bettter metal, then welding it all back together, wire brushing and bedlining it, and using GRADE 8 hardware to install it on the truck! Then I'll have to find some 4-5" drop springs and ditch the jeep springs (bottom too easily). Hubscrub, interested in jeep springs for almost next to nothing? Comming soon: Parking brake cable Trailer hitch Headlight relays (Kind of scared lol) Hood letters And hopefully a bath! Going to be mid 60's!
