Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

'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?

The Gearhead Consultancy knows how.What's in there? Capability VS Capacity VS Manageability. Is your home secure? Are you willing to practice and train? Are your family members ready? Are you able to be honest with yourself about risks, threats, consequences and what lines you're ready to cross?

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?
