    weird failure more of radial trailer tires, lots of wires sticking out (pictures)

    there is nothing more. the wires are from the tire. i clipped them before driving back and they grew longer since. i'll pull on them tomorrow just for fun of it.

    weird failure more of radial trailer tires, lots of wires sticking out (pictures)

    single axle. never deflated. they kept the nominal pressure of 50PSI despite wires sticking out. i cut the wires and didn't pull on them as i needed to drive to the place with replacement wheels. I can pull on them tomorrow.

    weird failure more of radial trailer tires, lots of wires sticking out (pictures)

    it's a long story, but to make it short, i took my boat to a lake an 1hr of interstate driving away. tires are fairly new, 2.5 years old with a third boating season. low miles with tread like new. proper size and load rating. the tires were in great shape and properly inflated before the trip...

    need an advice on neighbor and dog issue, please

    Wow, I didn't know the thread was still running. Thanks again. I did write a letter to the HOA and met with the president to make them aware of the problems with the neighbor and his dogs. All they will do is to issue a remainder to keep dogs locked or on a leash. I'll get a some kind of body...

    airless spray gun lube question

    Update: U used the sprayer this weekend for trial run and it worked great and put down a great quality (very smooth) of cabinet paint film, even though i didn't thin the paint (it clearly says do not thin in instructions). Being a BITOG member, i'm meticulous about lubing and cleaning and this...

    airless spray gun lube question

    never mind, i found my answer. turns out you can search HF reviews. i searched for lube and one of them had the answer: Quote This is a really cheap paint gun, but does not come with the best instructions. There are a few things you need to know to get the best results this sprayer can provide...

    airless spray gun lube question

    i bought it for doors and cabinet doors painting and for it's price I don't have high expectations. i'm good with spraying, but not so much with brushes/rollers.

    airless spray gun lube question

    I picked up an inexpensive airless (electric) spray gun at HF. I haven't used it, but read instructions for pre-use, use, and post-use cleaning. A bit confusing and I think this is why a lot of people fail with those and give one star review. Lots of 5 stars too. Anyhow, they mention application...

    Used Valvoline VR-1 10W30 SL oil, why so thin?

    I used it for the first time. Poured in from 1qt bottles and it felt runny, just like 0W20 oil I use in another car. It's also light blue (can't see it on a dipstick). The oil that I used before in that car (several OCIs) was QSUD, also 10W30 and similar specs in terms of viscosity but seemed...
