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

No fartin' around here: straight from the garage, the Gearhead Consultancy discusses its newfound free-to-we old-school monster Snap-On toolbox, as well as how to haul it without murdering all the people in traffic so unfortunate as to be in our rear-view. The Garage Hour goons also dig into toolbox values, weight, dimensions, cleaning, lifting and unloading, how many guys it takes (and how many b...

It's all ball-bearings nowadays, unless you're a gearhead on the Garage Hour: too many projects + not enough arms = late uploads.  Thanks for waiting around (we're worth it). This one's a late-night special - Chef Jeff and Gringo Rich support Hostus Maximus Justin Fort's occupation of Protector Brewery's tasting room in the Beeralani Maker's District, but that's the only part that followed the pla...

This is the inaugural Garage Hour Dude Food Chili Showoff, live from Protector Brewery.  This is also gearhead awesomeness. #1:  Do you like chili?  We made four.  Ruben from Smoke 'N Aces' watermelon chili beat Chef Jeff's pork cushion chili verde for "People's Choice" by one vote.  Mr. G's salsa and two-bean chili and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort's two-meat chilis were popular, but could not measu...

You can't get this kind'a gearhead awesomesauce without a license... or a warrant...  The Garage Hour goons assembled at Location A for an hour of hard parts and broken bits.  The Diesel Ayatollah and Gringo Rich performed a complete Harbor Freight compressor teardown during the show, much to Hostus Maximus Justin Fort's chagrin (poor bastard was trying to run a show...). Once the fleer diaphragm...

If you're a gearhead, a shooter, a vinyl fan, a brewer, if you like music or computers or old stereo equipment or hand-loading or woodworking, you're a geek - you dig your hobbies a little more than the average Joe.  Congrats, you're one of us, and that makes you a target of the bureaucracy.  Time to protect yourself by voting right: the Garage Hour is here to help.

These no-notes episodes are candy when they go right.  This Garage Hour reload has all the good stuff - NASCAR road racing, Colorado 4Runner Jamboree, camping on the hotel's lawn, cute chicks from New Zealand, engine racism, the cyclops eye, 3.55s versus 3.73s, old motocrossers trying new trucks, the Subaru Brat ("Trucknically, it's a car."), and ballahs with dollahs.

You head out to your favorite trailhead for a fun day-run and BLAMMO! There's a yuge tank gate. Who installed it? Who locked it? Why's it there? Is the universal key enough to open that door or will you need an actual tank? What's already a big problem in San Diego and the third-world kleptocracy of Kalifornistan can become a problem for you because your loss of access is driven by a mindset and a...

Don't let the delay fool you - the Garage Hour goons have been up to their necks in parts (the good kind and the bad), but you can only do so much.  The Diesel Ayatollah, Dustin V2 (Mr. Pink?  You decide.) and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort got back together in the Jeep Hole for an hour of tales from Tierra del Sol's annual Desert Safari, and this episode happened. What's on tap for this episode?  One...
