    Ruger 1022 scope and mount recommendations

    I've got a few Nikon P-22s mounted and really like them. But I thought I heard something about Nikon getting out of the firearms optics game. Check out 22Plinkster on YouTube as well, he has some good recommendations on the very topic.

    Scan tool that will turn of AFM 2016 GMC 5.3

    I had one on my 2018 LTZ 6.2 8-speed and while it didn't quell all of the 8-speed craziness, it helped dramatically. The truck was traded and the range unit now has a new home, too.

    Anyone try an EBay stereo

    I put a Kenwood DPX500BT in my last car with 6 kicker speakers and it was a great upgrade to a [censored] car. Only had the whole setup for a few months before I ended up trading the car in. But the system was fantastic, the bluetooth worked great with both iPhone 4 & 5.

    Tires for the Avalon

    I had a 2000 Avalon that had over 200k on it when I sold her (sniffle sniffle). Found that Yokohamas were a good balance of price/longevity/performance. Used Blizzak snows in the winter and was unstoppable. Worst tires on there were some budget Fuzion that handled horrible and were a bit noisy.

    New Member with "new to me" 2010 Altima Hybrid

    An update on the Altima Hybrid. After 20 months of ownership, spending foolish money on trying to make it better than it was (new stereo/speakers w/bluetooth, etc) and it needed to go back to the shop for the 5th time. That was enough for me, I regretted getting rid of the 2000 Avalon with...

    Wifi router location

    In the most central location to where you need a signal. Make sure there are as few obstructions as possible between the access point and the clients, ie not behind the TV, in the entertainment center, etc. If it has external antennas, make sure they are vertical. Download this...

    First Street Bike for Large Adult

    Well, after many months of research and a few test rides, a choice has been made. This week I take delivery of a 2013 BMW C650GT scooter. I was leaning towards a dual-sport type machine since i've been riding off-road for 30+ years. The GS line is impressive, but cost prohibitive at this point...

    Perhaps the least safe car I've ever seen

    Anyone got a few spare cookie sheets? Those and a few rolls of duct tape and she's ready to roll again. This time put the gas can on the roof, Gravity feed the carburator.

    Everyone around me has nicer/newer cars than me.

    Look at it this way. Yours are older, possibly paid off and your family are just more enslaven to the bank that holds their vehicle note. According to my professional peers, I am 'slumming' it with my choice in vehicle. But its nice to know it doesnt have any payments. And it could always be...
