I'm trying to help a family member decide between these two cars and wanted to know if there were any prevailing opinions here. I own a 2022 Crosstrek Sport and love it so I am biased. This car will be used for a 40 minute work commute during the week, nothing off-road. Probably a used...

I have this carb in my 1987 LandCruiser. It's about one year old; the truck runs GREAT except... It will "buck" around 35-40mph occasionally. I believe it only happens after I add any quantity of gas. Letting off of throttle stops the issue, increasing throttle causes massive power loss. I can...

Yes that was it. I feel a bit foolish but I got it loose! I need to get a couple of air tool thin wrenches. Thank You.

I picked up a 230v 30 gallon compressor and have decided to get some air tools. I was gifted this Cornwall 301 grinder and I’m confused on how to set it up - there is an attachment on it that isn’t stock (at least based on the pictures I've seen) and I cannot remove it. The manual is of no help...

Avoiding a claim is a must. My son wrecked a truck two tears ago and our rates are unsustainable as it is. I have located a quarter panel of the same color so I may replace the panel, door, etc. I’m proficient mechanically - usually lol.

Swiped a deer last night in my Lexus GX470. Damage very minimal, just a dent running lengthwise from the last bit of the left passenger door to the gas cap, and it is not very deep at all; it runs just below a crest in the body panel(s). Wondering if it’s possible to just pull the dent out -...

Curious if there’s a way to get one off pieces, such as a 10mm hex, from snap on / matco / other recommended top brand without investing $$$$$ in a whole set. eBay, Facebook Marketplace is where I’ve been looking so far.

I saw some made by Summit Racing: https://www.summitracing.com/search/brand/heatshield-products?srsltid=AfmBOoqxpkf--maR0Kv3Q7idogXstxvcjzi_quRev_yA5EiU1w92CET9

Sort of random, I know. My GX470 had a loose heat shield above the exhaust which I removed. I was looking at stick on replacements and didn’t know how much $$ should be spent… I see some on,one from Autozone that pair with a spray adhesive and then for more something from Summit Racing. Also -...

Nice airplane choice!!

This is something my toolbox lacks; I probably have a need 2-3x per year. I seem to run across mm moreso than SAE but a dual set would be great... I am looking for recommendations on a kit. I do have a $75 Harbor Freight gift card... Icon? I was also looking at some used sets from Matco on...

I agree. Like I said, Comcast contractor. I will be cleaning their mess up.
