(Checks occupation) Sounds about as accurate as my 10 day forecast. Is this calculation before or after your favorite politicians "force" the price of gasoline through the roof? Or if they decide to start digging up rocks to burn again? The price of both fluctuate enough to make your "13...

I did not do either. I have only been getting tires rotated for 20 years so you guys may have more experience in that department, but I've never lost a lug nut or had the person changing the tires recommend or instruct me to bring it back to check again after a set number of miles. Now that I...

Well thank goodness for Black Friday. I got the torque wrench half off! Now I'm debating if I should fill out the survey. They were polite and fast, but I feel like me losing a lug nut is sort of a red flag. Maybe 19/20 were on tight and correct but it's hard to trust them now. Losing one...

I guess it's a good time to buy a torque wrench then. I probably over torqued the one I changed. I'm only 170# but I did step on it. I didn't buy the locking lug nuts to begin with but figured if they were on it I might as well keep them.

Well I'll piggy back on this. I got my oil changed and tires rotated at the dealership 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I hopped out of the truck with my son to go to the park and he asks me why I'm missing a lug nut. Good question! Just so happened to be one of the locking nuts that came with the...

I think it's just pulled down by gravity under normal operation. I say this because I've notice it move on it's own when going slowly while lining it up. When everything is perfectly in place it'll slide freely up or down. Could be that mine is out of whack though, my pins were bent the first...

stop signs have pointed edges and are made of thin aluminum... might not want it to bend and poke your spare. RR crossing advanced warning signs on the other hand - those are round. Perfect circle. Minimum size for roads is a 36" diameter circle, though, so maybe a bit too big (but honestly I...

I don't know that I agree, but perhaps there's a minor amount of truth to the idea that we are in a global state of emergency and that prices are rising based on that emergency's ongoing effects. That being said I think the previous post was correct in that the type of markup we see right now...

I have ended up with several items sold by Green Toys (https://www.greentoys.com/). They claim made in the USA out of recycled material, and while I have no way to verify they seem well made to me. My kids have lots of the bath toys - they drain easily and have held up well for years. Darn...

I end up parking next to lonely trucks in the back of parking lots simply because it's a lot easier than trying to squeeze into those 3-4 open spots (but single open spots) closer to the door. You just beat me to the same spot I was going to park anyway! Still, like bathroom urinals there's...

I will echo what most others have said. We turned the car seat around at 2 in the SUV but left it rear facing in the sedan as there was plenty of room (and it extended so their legs aren't cramped). If in doubt, ask your pediatrician. Ours said it was ok at 2 and meeting the size...

Hmm. I never use the auto filler. Burned once, why touch the heat again? (I had it fail to cut off once... that wasn't fun). I hold the handle until it's done. It doesn't take that long. You can hear when it's starting to get close to full and then slow down the rate if you want to get a...

I got behind someone this morning who had the plate # two places after my sequentially. I have always wondered if they're issued in order like that. I didn't want to follow her around, but I really wanted to ask when she got it.

YMMV but went from was stock (3.73 gears + Bridgestone Dueler HT) and upgraded the tires to Toyo Open Country AT3s in the 285/75/17 size. I lost a decent amount of mileage driving around town. I don't really do as much highway driving so I can't compare but on occasion it's been more less...

Still haven't seen a Pumpkin or Nacho in the wild. I see several other Gators but I think my eye is more attuned to catching a glimpse of them. I have passed a black gladiator without even noticing until a second or two later. Just doesn't stick out as much.

Just make the cab a teensy bit bigger and I'd be able to stretch back there without banging my knees on the steering wheel. I got pretty good at opening it with one motion. I step on the outside step, grab the lapbelt on the kid's carseat and pull myself up to the window where I can pull it...

I haven't received one yet, going on 16 months now. I'll be honest with you. Yes, I'd like a duck. That is most certainly the reason it hasn't happened!

This was a mostly enjoyable read. With regard to advances in space, it's really dependent on whether or not you care if a person was holding the camera or if it's a robot receiving signals from afar. When I graduated from school, there were 9 planets. Now there are 8 planets, but an ever...

Only 160k miles? How many do you think were after its conversion?

Has anyone taken a look at the Barricade tube doors? I'm a bit leery of the brand but I like the look of these the most. https://www.extremeterrain.com/barricade-jeep-gladiator-front-tubular-adventure-doors-jg1343.html edit: Following up, I just checked on a whim and they're selling the...
