    Box end ratchet wrenches

    I've been using the HF Pittsburgh versions recently (e.g. assembling their 1 drawer service cart yesterday). I have both the SAE and Metric versions.

    Is it legal to have 2 copies of your driver's license?

    When I got my Real ID a year or so ago, they let me keep my original nonRID license. Still got it.

    Auto transmission fluid change for 1996 Pathfinder

    The Xfer case has both a drain plug and fill plug. But the fill is up near the body, no room for a funnel and to pour. So some sort of hand pump like this:

    Auto transmission fluid change for 1996 Pathfinder

    Why yes, yes it did: it has a drain plug. :) I drained it out after changing the oil, plugged it back in and dropped the vehicle to tires touching ground. Refilled the engine oil, then got in and ran the engine long enough to run through the gears twice. Temp gauge was right below normal...

    Auto transmission fluid change for 1996 Pathfinder

    Any reason why? Also, Autozone says it doesn't "fit my vehicle" for whatever that's worth. Plus, I've already bought the Valvo Max-Life stuff.

    Auto transmission fluid change for 1996 Pathfinder

    Yep, the AT Repair Manual calls it a "Strainer". I watched this video; changing it out seems pretty straightforward:

    Auto transmission fluid change for 1996 Pathfinder

    This is what WixFilters says is the correct transmission filter for this vehicle, 58906: And this is the transmission fluid I plan to use:

    Auto transmission fluid change for 1996 Pathfinder

    Some good points. It's 4WD with the 3.3l 6 cylinder engine, has ~155,000 miles on it, just had the engine spark plugs and wires changed, along with the fuel filter and air filter. I bought it just over a year ago from a family whose Dad owned it since new. He had dementia, so I have no idea...

    Auto transmission fluid change for 1996 Pathfinder

    I don't think it has a drain bolt, so the pan has to come off. While in there, I'm thinking of replacing the filter. According to WixFilters, it takes a 58978 or 58906 filter; however Autozone says only the 58906 fits my Pathfinder. Not sure what the difference is between the two. About...

    Lucas 10005 "red n tacky" opinons and grease gun to get

    I just switched from RNT to Mystic JT6. I also bought the HF Hercules 20v grease gun. Man, that thing pumps some grease! I've never had one of my grease guns leak grease. :)

    Do you sometimes randomly pick up trash?

    I drive my Kubota RTV-XG850 around here on 1 1/2 and 2 lane rural roads picking up trash on the side of the road. I usually fill 3-4 5 gallon buckets, then call it a day.

    How do you guys manage tool batteries and charging?

    The Ridgid and Milwaukee chargers are on a shelf I built for them. The Hercules charger I just bought hasn't been installed yet; it's just sitting the bench. BTW, speaking which: I have an extra Milwaukee 20v charger that I'm not using. Anyone wants it; I'm 10 miles north of the AL/TN...

    Big Texan Steak House 72 oz steak challenge road tour- coming to a city near you?

    My son, his best friend and I ate the BT 72 ouncer one time. I mail ordered it and we grilled out on our outdoor grill. At around 12 years old, they ate the majority of it. It was a little tough, more like a chuck roast vs a steak, but we still enjoyed it.

    Big Texan Steak House 72 oz steak challenge road tour- coming to a city near you?

    My son and I and his best friend did the 72 oz steak in 2009 or 2010 or so. We did it in Madison AL after I mail ordered the 72 oz from Big Texan Steak Ranch (yes, you can order it online). We BBQ'd it on my backyard grill, then the three of us went to town on it. Yea, I and two teenagers...

    Mt Airy, NC

    Everyone was Happy in Mayberry because no one was married, except for Otis - and he stayed drunk all the time! Mt. Airy is always one of our stops when doing the Blue Ridge Parkway. We went one time when they were doing the annual "Mayberry Festival" (or whatever they call it). They had a...
