    Which fastener?

    I need to hang a new Vevor air hose reel on the wall in my shop, not sure which type of fastener to use. I have 3/8" x 3-1/2" lag screws with washers, or these new Simpson WS22 x 4” Timber Screws. I have plenty of both. Reel weights 23 lbs but is also subject to being tugged on to deploy the...

    Looking for a counter for a project...

    Need a little help here. I have an idea for a project here at home, and I need a counter device that will count how many times a 120V device runs each day. I don't need to know how long it ran (hour meter won't work), just a count of how many. Cumulative is preferred, I don't need/want it to...

    Great deal if you use Makita 18V tools

    Home Depot (and a few online places) are now offering a smoking deal on a really nice cordless circular saw setup with four 5ah batteries, for $299. That's like buying four batteries and getting a saw, bag, and double charger for free. I've been using this saw several times over the past couple...

    Buying one tire for an AWD vehicle

    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 new tires" from the tire store, they're less than...

    Bug:  Did the Alerts thingy get broken?

    I use the Alerts (little bell up on the menu) every time I open MUD. It's really great that it shows me all the replies to threads I'm watching. In the past, it would show a number of alerts, and as I clicked through them, the number would count down until I read them all, and the next alert...

    For Sale  NH: Older Jerry can holders

    Wondering if anybody could use these. I believe the silver part is made by Smittybilt, based on this link: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/smt-d8007 As it is, it will only work with 5 gal metal cans that have a "lip" on the bottom to sit on that rail part (ie: it will NOT work with...

    Bluetooth madness with iPhone

    Trying to figure this one out. I'm not an Apple/iPhone person, and don't intend to start comparing Apple vs Android. But this is pissing me off and makes me want their products even less. I have a Google Pixel 6. GF has an older iPhone, I think a 7. Every time she gets into the truck ('15 LC)...

    Can't find source of weird noise, driving me NUTS

    For several weeks now I've been suffering with an annoying tick-tick-tick-tick sound as I go down the road. It sounds EXACTLY like stones stuck in the tread of the tires (BFG KO2's). This makes sense, as I have been driving on several gravel/dirt roads for about a year. The noise wasn't there...

    Robot vacuum for dog hair cleanup

    Have a Saint Barnard at home now. Great dog, very gentle and smart, trains very well. But OMG the hair... Anybody have one of these newer Roomba style vacuums, with a shedding dog? I can't imagine it would be able to self clean out a big wad of hair.

    Pet barrier with ARB Drawers and no 2nd row seats

    Tried searching, nothing is coming up for a solution. GF and I just took on a Saint Bernard, and I'm looking to make a spot for him to travel with us. I have my 2nd row seats out and a full platform, but I made it so I can take out half of it in case I need to re-install the 40% seat. I don't...

    Why are my tires rubbing now?

    I have the usual BFG KO2s in 285/70R17 on RW wheels, they were on the truck when I got it, they still have quite a bit of tread left. I had them on when I had the BP-51 system with OME UCAs installed last fall. No rubbing, worked great, even after having it aligned. I run different tires/rims...

    Cleaning badly soiled/scorched pans

    GF is forced to close her restaurant (thanks COVID), so we're frantically cleaning the place out. She has a pile of used saute pans, all of which saw heavy production over the years. Most of them are junk but there's a few nice Viking and Calphalon SS pans that I'd like to clean up and restore...

    NL fridge, base plate question

    Just took deliver yesterday (finally!) of a NL 50L dual fridge from Equipt. I also ordered the base mounting plate, my plan is to remove my 2nd row, put the fridge transverse behind the driver's seat. But, I can't get the fridge to drop onto the plate, no matter what I do. There's latches on...

    BP-51 questions

    I searched all the threads on this setup, but can't find answers to these (hopefully easy) questions. I bought a complete kit from Eric Seargant (Ed Martin) and I'm now preparing for the install. I also ended up sourcing a set of ARB UCAs on Amazon, of all places. Nobody else has this stuff in...

    200-series at the dragstrip

    Anybody here ever had their 200-series on a dragstrip? OK, so here's the deal. There's a place about 20 minutes from me (Race Track | New England Dragway | Epping, NH - https://www.nedragway.com/) that has a Street Night every Wednesday. You can run anything you want, as many runs as you want...

    Adding a receptacle outlet in a kitchen island

    Looking for advice from the resident spark chasers (@rkymtnflyfisher)... I want to add a receptacle to the island in my kitchen. House was built in '95, so pre-dated code where it is required now, but the j-box is in the joists below (unfinished basement), so the hard part is done, I guess they...

    Would you plug and use this tire?

    Came out to the garage this morning to find a flat tire on the truck ('15 200 series). Pulled wheel off, found a hardened concrete nail sticking out, rats. Location is right at the edge of the tread, see photo. Tire is a BFG KO2 LT285/70R17, still plenty of meat left on it, ~10/32" or so. All 5...

    Electric radiant floor heat questions

    In doing a renovation of a sunroom that will be insulated and upgraded so it can be used in the winter. Currently there is no heat out there, so I have a clean slate. No foundation, this is a boxed insulated floor sitting on piers (open below), ledgered off the back of the house. Footprint is...

    There's a new Sharpie in town

    I use Sharpies a LOT. I always have a box on my bench in the garage, several stashed in the truck, and there's always one in my EDC, usually tucked into the left side pocket of my Carhartts, next to a flashlight. Found these a few weeks ago in Lowes on one of those endcap hang racks, figured I'd...
