    First sortie with my X

    I've got my X for what.. 2 months now. I've done a bit of work on it by myself, low budget. Yesterday I've went out with an offroad club near my town. Lot of dirt and sand pits and even rock climbing. I bought my X to be a winter truck and maybe going offroad. I'm hooked. Hook line and...

    That's a lot of rust. Help? Ideas?

    I'll look into it! I was already to go to a garage for winter anti rust treatment for the underside, to slow things down at least. So far, there is surface rust but not going through, I thought a anti rust treatment could slow it down at least Thx for the tip!

    That's a lot of rust. Help? Ideas?

    Me too. I liked the orange. But there were so much damage everywhere, to have a good unified paint. I would have to re do it all, at almost 4 times the cost.. budget is tight. I've had to stop work for 2 weeks because of a back injury. That's why I has to cut down on paint cost and get a used...

    Idle problem

    I've changed the oil and the problem drasticly lowered. Maybe it was just that, too much old oil gunk in the system.

    Hello from the weird french Canadian north

    I'm more. North than lot of Americans, that's north enough for me ;) -50 with the river wind is my kind of fun. I wish I could keep the orange. I really would LOVE to keep it. Maybe one day if its keeping working long enough so I can have the dough to have it repainted professionally..

    Hello from the weird french Canadian north

    It's a beautiful color but I wont have enough money to keep it that way... it's sad I know.. To have an uniform color and get rid of the rust spots and try not rusting soon, might have to resort to that. I really like that gray tho
