    New Toys for the Road Force Balancer

    I remember back in the day the Hunter GSP 9700 machines were still early and I was working at BMW. They sent me and a couple guys to a two week (yes, 2 weeks/6-7+hr days!) training course to use these machines. They also introduced us to the new and great Hunter alignment machines on the last...

    Vevor Tools - What Is Your Experience?

    We just got a Vevor pump cart (cart with a water tank on it with a battery operated pump to water flowers.) It only lasted less then a week before the pump died completely and one of the tires spring a permanent leak :/

    Not impressed by Rock Auto

    I've gotten hundreds of pounds of suspension parts, brake rotors, calipers parts etc shipped here from RA across the border and not had any major issues with packing yet that I can recall over the years. The box for the links etc for my TJ front end came a lil beat up but everything was inside...

    Do they make any decent aftermarket lug nuts?

    I have had good luck with McGard. I broke a lock nut from them and the service was exceptional, they Purolated me another lock key and a bag for them even. Gorilla on the other hand sucked. Their lifetime ones were rusted in a year and service ghosted me. F them...

    Anyone DIY vinyl wrap a vehicle?

    Some things to watch for: If the paint is flaky, dry cracked etc it may not bond well and lift. Best to get the adhesive promoter for edges etc too? Some materials will show everything underneath too like paint does...

    Plumber's truck traded in Texas and ended up bringing up undesirable lesson

    A friend bought a used truck that used to be a rental, then a lumber company truck and then a plumbers truck then he got it. It seemed decently cleaned of stickers and he put his on it and now months later you can see outlines of all three previous places on it! :/

    Mom wants me to start doing maintenance/oil changes on her car (2017 Kia Forte 2.0L)

    The old oil filter that was on there needed to be taken off 'with extreme persuasion' :/ I tried all different types of tools/straps and ended up using an ole 'screwdriver through the can' method ;) The sealing rings on these filter are tiny/thin! I had to pull the whole plastic belly pan off to...

    Which New Walk Behind Mower You Would Buy Today?

    I just picked up an Ariens Razor walk behind (RWD 163cc), but thinking of selling it as our backyard has to many things to go around and tons of forward/reverse seems to be a pita with walk behinds :/ Unfortunately its overkill for our yard.

    Mom wants me to start doing maintenance/oil changes on her car (2017 Kia Forte 2.0L)

    It doesn't burn oil thankfully yet. Good to hear they can be long lasting, I wasn't consulted when she bought it and may have picked something different for her, but she seems to like it and its paid off. :) She doesn't drive much now and really short trips it and rarely gets it to norm temp...
