    Subaru Crosstreck vs. Honda CRV

    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...

    Weber Carb Gurus Wanted: "Bucking" Issue 38DGAS

    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...

    Cornwall 301 Right Angle Die Grinder - Help With Setup

    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...

    Hit A Deer - - Dent Pull Possibility ?

    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.

    Hit A Deer - - Dent Pull Possibility ?

    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 -...

    Good Source for One Off Sockets, Wrenches ?

    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.

    Heat Shield and Vapor Barrier Replacement

    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 -...

    Tap and Die Set Recommendations

    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...

    Moving Phone Jack/Wire Splicing

    Our cable modem, router, etc. is tied to a wall jack that is in a bad spot - I would like to move it. Access to the wire is easy, it is in our attic space. Comcast's contractor already spliced the section feeding the jack when they installed service years ago and it wasn't a pretty job. I am not...

    Rear Brake/Rotor Recommendations: Lexus GX470 (PowerStop On the Front)

    I ordered Advics from Rock Auto. I typically know who makes the factory stuff - in this case I did not. I was always happy with Toyota Rotors/Pads on my 2006 Tacoma as well as my son's 1998 4Runner.
