    Good adjustable receiver hitch?

    Mine is "billet". Don't hate the Player, hate the game!

    Good adjustable receiver hitch?

    Weigh Safe is what I use.

    Can/should this oxidation be removed?

    I believe he's just looking at the pictured brackets, not the whole rack. I bet that whole tray would be under $100. When you factor in materials to strip them, paint to coat them, and the time, I would drop them off.

    Drop them off at the powdercoater; they will likely blast them at no extra cost as part of prep to powdercoat.

    ZMotorsports Shop Projects 2.0

    I don't know too many people running RCV's anymore. They got crazy expensive and their customer service *****. When they went from a niche product to mainstream, they couldn't keep up. I've never been a fan of them for a daily driver due to the maintenance, but those orange boots tend to get you...

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    I'm surprised you haven't had any deliveries from OnTrac before. I get a ton of stuff from CA, NV & UT delivered by them. I've actually had good luck (usually next day from those states), but clearly you got a lazy *** ******* that couldn't walk another 50'. I'd be pissed as **** also.

    The Bicycle (Specialty) Tools Thread

    My friends and I have had much better luck with the Shimano derailleurs than the SRAM. In my family we have an equal number of both. I've got a SRAM 11spd GX that is temperamental at times, but keeps plugging along. Is it shifting in part of the range an not others? In other words, does it...

    rattle_snake's random shop projects v0.1

    I couldn't find a better picture, but my trailer had a gate that defied physics and would inevitably arrive with a latch open. It also was obnoxious with how much it rattled and banged. I added solid metal "straps" fixed to the top of the rails with a bolt and ran a Clevis pin into the gate. The...

    Electric lawnmowers in 2026 - any good?

    For what it costs to get my yard done, this mower and our effort pays for itself in 10 uses. I had a great landscaper for like 15yrs, but he had a hard time keeping help and we were a drive for him. The next guy my wife found did such a bad job we parted ways after 2 times. The final crew was...

    Electric lawnmowers in 2026 - any good?

    You are right, it was badass! I can't speak for how it compares to other makes/models, but I'm stoked on it! I did 2 passes on my ~4,500 sqft lawn and it used 3 out 4 bars on the 12.0Ah battery. First pass was on level 4 and the 2nd I dropped the deck to level 3. No clumps of grass left...

    Electric lawnmowers in 2026 - any good?

    The motor and compartment to hold 2 big batteries. I've read reviews where people are bothered by the aesthetic of it, but to be frank I really couldn't care less what tools look like as long as they work. We'll find out that part in a couple of hours.

    Electric lawnmowers in 2026 - any good?

    I bought the commercial Honda mower a few months ago for my RV park where our zero turn won't work. I haven't used it, but my employees love it. I needed a new mower, so I just got the HRX-BE for home use. Both purchased from ACME. I'm a Milwaukee user, but I have zero faith that Milwaukee will...

    Ryobi telescoping power scrubber for boat

    The only maintenance nightmare worst than owing a pool, would likely be a boat with a pool.
