U-bolts are a critical part to a truck or car with a leaf spring rear suspension, but sometimes the aftermarket doesn't offer the size or length u-bolt that you want for your application. Maybe you're lifting your truck more than any kit, or lowering it with a large block. Either way, building a custom u-bolt should take about 30 minutes to do.

Keeping your car in top aesthetic shape may not be essential in keeping it operable, but it's still a worthwhile endeavor. One of the easiest ways to tarnish a car's appearance is with a scratch or scuff. Such imperfections will immediately attract the eye of anyone looking at a car. While deep gouges in a car's paint will require a more comprehensive job, small scuffs or scratches can be repaired by buffing your car.

Your car has a thin, clear protective coat over the paint to help prevent rust and other damage. However, after you wash your car or even during a rain storm, water may find a way to work underneath the clean coat. This water needs to be removed as soon as possible, otherwise it may damage the clear coat or even begin to form rust.

Nothing can ruin your car's look more easily than a bit of misplaced paint. Whether it's a vandal's spray can, dollops of house paint or some other kind of stain, paint on your car can be an unsightly mess. Luckily, there's always a way to clean up your car's surface and return it to its original sheen and color.
