I have 2 old B&D Workmates, one I got new as a gift in the early 80s, and another I found at a flea market for $10 that was missing the movable jaw. Very handy to have. I made a jaw out of a piece of scrap 2x6, and used that thing many times. It...

I am pretty sure in over 47 years of driving, I've never paid for an oil change. Always done it myself. I like doing it. I have the exact pan that @bloc posted above, and the Fumoto valve with the drain hoses posted by @lx200inAR above. I set...

Queue all the whiners about how "hard" it is to change the oil... :rolleyes:

303 Protectant is my choice. Put it on wet, let soak for a few minutes, then buff off. Not shiny or slippery.

Yes, this is programmable. I think the default is to only unlock the driver's door, but the rest of the doors if you hit the button again. You can change it so all the doors unlock with one press. Check the Owner's Manual.

Floating tenons, in mortices you cut with one of these: https://www.festoolusa.com/products/domino-joining-system/domino-joining-machines/576423---df-500-q-set-us#Overview

Just finished this today, case for the GF's mom veteran burial flag. This one is spalted curly hard maple. Joints were done with Domino tenons. I'm honored and humbled to make these for those that served, it's too bad they never get to see them.

Have the bulbs been swapped out to LEDs? This is a known issue with cheaper LEDs, they produce a low level RF that interferes with the keyless system. I swapped all my bulbs with LEDs from Superbrightleds.com. Much improved lighting inside and...

Swap plastic oil filter housing for aluminum Venza housing Upgrade front diff fill plug

Mine opens all the way with just poking the rocker switch. :meh:

It's right dead center between the corner of the tread and the rim. I don't think it's safe to plug or patch. Called TireRack, they said anything over 2/32" difference is not recommended. They can sell me the same tire shaved to 8/32", it's only...

GF has a Honda CR-V AWD. Pulled a huge nail out of the sidewall of one tire last night, not repairable. Michelin Defender tires, measure ~8/32" of tread, the new tires have a spec depth of only 10.5/32". Don't wanna hear the usual "gotta buy all...

Wait until a day when the wife isn't home, run it through the dishwasher on a "Quick" load. As soon as it's done, get it out and blow it off with compressed air.

I have a 50L dual zone NL and love it. Mine sits on a tray behind the drivers seat (no more 2nd row in my truck), so my passenger van reach in while under way. Never going back to a cooler. The additional benefit I love about it is when we are...

You have to use some sort of wrench to hold the shock body to keep it from rotating. I use a strap wrench.

2011 I traded in: 2015 I traded up for, photos taken same day, March 2018:

I did this exact thing, went from an '11 to a '15, and was very glad I did. Both were white, but otherwise much improved. Unlike others, I really like and use the radar cruise when I can, and the Bluetooth audio connection is appreciated. Plus...

I'm also gonna disagree with the "avoid AGM" argument. I'm on year 6 with my duals.

Assuming you're talking about the spring preload on the fronts, I didn't adjust mine, I left them at the stock 10mm, and I don't think the ride is harsh, seems nice and firm to me. I don't have a front steel bumper (yet), the only additional...

Your patience is admirable. That truck would not be coming back to my house, this would be the end of the line for me.

Somewhere in Alabama, I don't remember where, early 2020 before the SHTF

Tap into the trailer harness.

Here's a helpful garage cleaning tip. If you're being lazy about cleaning up spills and have random stains and dirt in the corners, just drop a full bottle of car wash on the floor, so it busts open and makes a huge puddle. Then you'll get the...
