Im interested how to hang a lock on a flat tag and mirror stem. Im thinking a short gun cable lock will probably work once i get the tag laminated onto the aluminum plate. Thats a possibility, though Im not sure I want a plate or not, and its of course limited to one vehicle. The hang tag is...

Ive looked into how to use a handicap parking hang tag on a motorcycle, the consensus seems to be the law requires it to be hung from the mirror. Thats somewhat problematic on a motorcycle because it could simply blow off in a breeze or be stolen easily. Im working on a method for laminating...

In the 90s I used to go to the dealer and have them run a scan to see what was going on when the check engine or whatever light came on, theyd tell me the flux capacitor or retro encabulator was faulty. I often had no idea what it was but Id go buy one, look around, find it, then replace...

One place I built on and lived in a while, a legal alternative to a septic was a concrete pit outhouse, similar in concept to what many campgrounds have. I had to have a special made concrete chamber made, essentially a small septic tank with no baffle or inlet and outlet ports, and had them...

...and boys and girls, remember to only remove one spark plug wire and replace it at a time. Simply pulling all the old ones off then trying to figure out where each one actually goes so its in the correct firing order can be trying to ones patience and blood pressure.

My take away from experience on driving 2 lane highways a lot and towing is just to not get in a hurry and definitely dont force the issue of speed going up hills. If the motor is more comfortable going 45 up long grades, so be it, its much easier on it and you will likely not have as much...

Strong crosswinds will play a significant role in power required and fuel economy. The times ive had rigs get hot in windy conditions I tried to stop and park pointed directly into the wind to help it cool, either running at idle or shut off. Crosswinds require power to plow through and stay on...

Some bachelor specials.... Adams creamy peanut butter and honey. Mix to taste, eat with table knife out of the bowl you mixed it in, or open faced on bread or toast, sometimes add some granola for crunch. It stores well in the fridge if needed for quick energy bursts or take the edge off being...

This had been improving recently. The unit I first used required a hard start capacitor for my generator to kick it over in eco mode, but the one I bought in the fall of 2021 didnt need one. The one in Bobs video was mentioned to be low energy and low startup power equipped. Its still a factor...

I agree theres no practical way to do exactly what he asked, but its not all that difficult to mount a small window AC unit in a vehicle window, nor have a generator to run it. Ive been doing it for 4 or so years, and just copied others that had done it before. Actually, the AC unit needs to...

I got State Farm ages ago, at the time they were the only company I could get motorcycle insurance with without having a car insured with them. I stayed with them over time when I had cars, then homeowners ins. Ive checked some other companies, the general outcome is "Let us give you a quote...

Is there a screen touch sensitivity setting? I dont know if yours has it, but the Fire tablet has a setting to lock it in landscape orientation. I look at mine when I cant sleep and im usually laying on my side. Having the screen change was profoundly annoying, im glad I can lock it. I dont...

The Club has hardened parts I believe, however an angle head grinder will cut through hardened parts easily, like padlocks and such. A saw would have a hard time on hardened parts, though they may well have had one to cut catalytic converters out. Edit: Just saw all the other posts that I...

Im guessing, but id think there exist security cut-outs that dont entirely disconnect the battery, just the ignition system, meaning anything else still works. The used car people often install GPS trackers and ignition disconnects in case people stop making payments. it allows them to both...

I kept the 3rd seat from the first suburban I bought, it was a huge nuisance trying to store it. After a year or so i took it to the wrecking yard, they wouldnt give me anything for it, but would take it. Good riddance. No amount of money was worth the annoyance factor. The next Suburban I...

The link you have is not to the site you think it is. Its misspelled. There needs to be an i between the p and s.

OK. This is the folding hitch adapter I got (from different source and may be different brand, but identical shape and design. https://www.ringohill.com/ecommerce/hitches-wiring/2%22-ball-folding-receiver-mount.php Its supposed to allow the carrier basket to be used normally or fold up out of...

Its true that a serious thief can get into about anything, though thats often given as a reason to do nothing, minimal security, or abandon whatever idea it was entirely (not saying that was the intent above). Im of the opinion that most crimes are committed by less than top level crooks, and...

I would want one with a fresh air supply arranged, I used up the available air in my cabin several times with a woodstove. Woke up feeling stuffy breathing, ripping headache, went and opened the cabin door in the zero temps, got fresh air, felt worlds better. I then utilized the fresh air intake...

Im glad this came up, Ive used regular pillows for the most part, but Ive been curious if theres a way to get smaller size pillows that are as thick and firm as the regular sized ones? The smaller pillows ive found are thinner and cheaper, so not much good when one needs support for side...
