    Mosquito Repellant Skin Spraying Technology

    Never been able to find anything that competes with DEET. 25% seems to be the trick, never noticed the 40% stuff to work that much better.

    Toe plates for truck tires?

    Yes those abound but I’m thinking it would be more accurate to measure toe while the suspension and hubs loaded

    Is Arizonan still budget king?

    Looks to pick up some budget 225/60r16 tires and back in the day the Arizonan was pretty well regarded. Are these still a go-to or do we have better options in this price range now?

    DIY Wheel Alignment Jig

    WHAT is this? I wonder if it works well? Surely its far easier than the parallel string method but is it actually accurate?

    Toe plates for truck tires?

    Looks like all the toe plates I can find for DIY are sized too small for my trucks with 33+ tires on them. Anybody know of somewhat affordable toe plates to use with larger truck wheels. Nothing crazy, just 33-35" range.

    Inner CV Joint Grease

    Picked this up a number of months back for bicycle bearings. Seems to be really high quality grease and the datasheet is impressive. But I would differ to others on here whether its a good choice for this application.

    Walmart 700c ozark trail g.1 explorer drop bar gravel bike

    ****, thats cheap. How does it hold up to use (assuming one reassembles it correctly after purchase)?

    Is Schrader an OE for Ford TPMS sensors?

    Need to do this on my 2011 but not loving the $265 at discount tire. Are the aftermarket sensors good or you get what you pay for?

    Best air filters these days?

    What are the top-tier OE style replacement filters these days? I've always trusted Wix and, surprisingly, fram based on testing I saw here a long time ago. And of course, OE replacement like Motorcraft. Have times changed?

    Pitman Arms for GM application

    Lot of hate on Moog these days, I'm not sure its warranted. My theory is that the rest of the market (or at least a lot of it) has improved to the point where Moog isn't much better bot that they are worse... And/or there is confusion with their R-line. That said, I AM testing this...

    Naturally. Same black pearl EP1 (polyurea EP waterproof grease). Pics are the dirty/before just after I split the case.

    Troy bilt LE720 edger head

    Interestingly this one is just a basic clamshell and doesn’t appear to be intended for a grease bath with semi liquid. No sealing or gasketing just open bevel gears and half sealed bearing cartridges. The outer face is rubber sealed and the inside face of the bearings is open. I used my EP-1...

    Refreshing an older Mountain Bike

    Should work great. I’ve always wondered how often one should reapply oil to prevent wear and corrosion…. But I’ve never seen a “dry” shifter issue either

    Stihl Superlube FS

    Isn't the Superlub FS something like an EP0 or EP00? Seems tough to find in homeowner sized quantities outside of the over prices big-brand micro tubes. I wonder how well a good NLGI 1 polyurea would function....

    “Husqvarna Special Grease”

    I wonder if a NLGI #1 polyurea like Chevron Black Pearl would be a good alternative?

    Troy bilt LE720 edger head

    I’ve had this for a number of years now I was going to do some PM but I dont see any grease ports. Is this head serviceable?

    Refreshing an older Mountain Bike

    Late to the discussion but gummed up Shimano trigger shifters are a well known thing in the bike world. Everyone has their favorite way to address them and I've tried many products and techniques. Hitting them with CLP (I use Breakfree) and letting it soak for as long as possible- days to...
