    Truck rocking when coming to a stop

    Got a weird one going, when slowing to a stop I can feel the truck gently rocking forward and back slightly as it slows down and you're applying the brake pedal. No vibration felt in the steering wheel or brake pedal, had the front rotors turned just in case, didn't resolve it. Checked the...

    ARB bumper pad mounting alternate ideas?

    I've repowdercoated my ARB deluxe bar and in the process had to take off the rubbery bumper pads. The bolts were rusted and the way they're made is by placing a slotted bolt with a nail welded to it (so it can't spin) in the material during manufacture. Well, 7 of the 8 on mine stripped out of...

    Firefox pasting image fix

    Had a weird one lately - using Firefox, I've always been able to just copy/paste any image straight into a post. Few weeks ago something happened and it was requiring me to attach every image before posting. Today I logged out of Mud, logged back in - fixed. Sure easy to post from like a...

    Looks like Sankei 555 is now offering complete upper and lower control arm replacements for the 100. Looks like stock caster, but great they include the joint and bushings already, huge cost savings over OEM. @cruiseroutfit they in stock and available?

    Rear brake caliper piston wedged

    Was replacing rear rotors on my truck, had the caliper off and sitting on the axle. When buttoning things back up, noticed the piston was almost all the way out of the caliper and was wedged a little off angle. Tried tapping/coaxing it back in with a c-clamp, no luck. Removed the brake line...

    ARB valve caps no good

    Let's say your boy goes to work for an ARB vendor, and let's say his first check he wants to get something from the shop, and let's say that something is ARB valve stem caps. Then let's say we fast forward a few months (about enough time for a dissimilar metals reaction to take place), you will...

    Storing gas power equipment

    Been poking around online at best methods for winter storing gas power equipment (2 stroke weeder, chainsaw; 4 stroke mower) and of course there's polar opposite opinions. Run them dry, don't EVER run them dry, etc. @D'Animal or others in the know, what do you do for longer term storage?

    Impact socket loose/wear?

    While doing some work on the truck last weekend had a new one, the impact socket I've used for years (22mm for the 100), the lug nut bound up in it. Had to tap a couple of them out from the drive side. Just need a new socket or maybe the lug nuts are rounding a little from the years? I know...

    Tool battery wth - back to life

    Someone who's smarter about batteries splain this to me. So I have a couple of B&D 40v lithium batteries for a blower/trimmer setup. One battery decided to stop charging past two bars last week and the charger instantly blinks red. Look online, find a vid of a guy, also with B&D batts, saying...

    Portable shop heater

    Simple question, which style works better? I've heard from buddies that love both. Seems like the can would be more ambient heat and the torpedo would be directional, but any first hand use of one or the other people have preferred?

    Time for my own starting issue

    Appears it's finally time for my own starting issue. As I've watched similar threads over the years here haven't noticed anything with these symptoms. It's cold here finally, teens at night. About a month ago, got in the truck after it sat in the garage overnight, went to start it, got a half...

    Adding shower to existing tub

    Our 70's house main bathroom oddly doesn't have a shower, just a tub. Adding one in for teenage kids so they'll stop using ours. Pulled out the surround and drywall and am looking at this. Am I correct in thinking I can put pull the top plug, thread in an adapter and pipe, run that up to a...

    HF floor jack leaking

    My 10 year old HF floor jack is leaking pretty good. I wiped it down to see if I could get a read on where specifically is leaking, it appears to be from where the jack body presses into the base. I doubt there's a seal in there, seems like it would just be press fit? I thought it would more...

    Echo blower help

    Neighbor brought me his Echo PB251 blower. It would idle and occasionally be able to throttle up, but once it was at max, it would die out. I figured it was the carb and ethanol gas. Ordered a replacement kit off Amazon, replaced: - carb - spark plug - fuel lines - fuel filter - air filter...

    Can't post pics using Firefox

    May just be me, my PC, my ISP, who knows, but maybe someone else is seeing this issue. The upload file button in Firefox (latest version 49.0.2) is a white box. I can still click on it and it gives me a file explorer for my PC. If I select an image I get this. No issues in Chrome. Just...
