yes it was and sadly other than that episode and a few others they are fun to watch until they destroy classic cars or rare items. i just want to know one thing when they did the snowplow episode why didn't they use a fullsize pickup with a solid front axle or a awd subaru insted of an eagle?

Beats me... They could've even used something like a 90's Ford Taurus, I can't stand those cars and see way too many of them.

Well at least I can save mine! (or try to). Put on a new license plate bracket from the "bay". Looks a lot better than the old rusty one that was falling apart. Don't worry, the rear windshield is just reflecting the tent it's under.

Haha, I saw it as soon as I took the picture and knew that's exactly what people would think. The windshield is just fine, no cracks whatsoever.

I tried taking pictures from behind the crossmember earlier today, but they didn't turn out so great.

Oh, duh, that's what I was missing! My phone always shuts it off for no reason and won't let me change it. I was kind of in a hurry too I believe. And thanks Prafeston ;D

My differential cover gasket replacement and paint job:

Before



After


Not the best paint job, but it should work. I used a rubber gasket and sealed it up with RTV.

Also painted my grille. It's still cracked, but looks better.
