My Porter Cable drill and driver are starting to show their age after 7 yrs of hard use. I’ve decided to go Yellow for a replacement. What are the pros and cons between the Max-XR-Atomic models? I’m leaning towards going with the XR. The Atomic being shorter is not a selling point for me. I’m...

I’ve had poor hearing for most of my life. Constant ear infections as a kid, driving with the windows down and working in high noise environments. My hearing loss has gotten to the point where I had to bite the bullet and get hearing aids. I got a pair of perception over the ear aids. I don’t...

I have a crack in my brass pressure washer pump on the high pressure output that has been growing for years and my out put pressure is noticeably reduced. A replacement pump is $600 so I would like to repair this one if I can. The issue I’m having is that the brazing material is not sticking and...

I just came from a 5 day trip running around the Eastern Mojave Desert. On day 4 I was running down a power line road 15 mile from camp at approx 60mph. I went over a 1’ drop and bottomed out the rear suspension but did not strike anything underneath. I had 30 miles on my full gas tank...

I left my 05 4.0 TJ idling while I got out to close the shop gate and it died. No sputter it just quit. Cranks but no start. It’s been running like a top before this. Did the basic checks of fuel, spark and compression. I took the intake hose off and put some fuel in the throttle body and it...

I did a post vehicle inspection after my 4 day run in the Mojave this weekend. I noticed that the right front sway bar connector is gone. I did a quick google search and I have some questions. Is there a difference between a TJ and my TJR Unlimited? I see options from $45 to $175. I don’t want...

The other day I saw a chip of coating on my front bumper. I pulled it off reveling a large area of substantial rust. I did a quick search here and found a short previous post where Chris had a link to an Amazon product but the link is no longer valid. I prefer not do a lot of sanding or...

Anyone have a cell tower on their property? I’ve been approached by a company that wants to put a cell tower on one of my properties. This is all new to me and I’m trying to gather enough info so I can ask them the right questions. I’m an amateur up against pros who do this every day so I need...

So I planted a 2” cactus 20+ yrs ago. It grew to 20’ and got top heavy and was starting to lean against my garden shed threatening crash down on it. It had to come down. Most of it was over the shed so cutting it piecemeal was out. In comes the TJ. I pulled into the back yard and hooked the...
