    Help! I'm stuck on the ice, any DIY emergency tire chains?

    Those things are huge. Made for commercial trucks with tons of space around the tire. That would tear up a lot of passenger cars and trucks fenders

    Making a Mat Last

    I had some before getting my floor done. I used them only in the winter months. Used them for 10y or so, and other than looking dirty and stained, no degradation. I think it helps to not turn the steering wheel on them, as it wrinkles. I also cut mine in half, so that the front axle was parked...

    Lug nut thread lubrication - what do you use?

    This. Modern studs and nuts have a factory coating... which is engineered for proper clampload at the given torque spec. Definitely don't want to mess with that. If you have old rusty ****, antiseize is probably a good bet... IF you aren't able to replace with new... but you are totally...

    Advice for a novice - will the car fit

    Get the length measurements of eachto the nearest inch and subtract... in order to fit something with only a foot clearance, you'll need to be super careful backing in... either need a backup camera on the truck (don't know how old the truck is), or some sort of angled mirror to help guide...

    How hard will it be to raise my garage door?

    probably a pair of these tiny wheels on the front or rear would do it. You didn't say it was going to be a daily driver after the resto... so, only have to swap once in a while. That or let the air out of the tires for the roll in/out.

    Norther Michigan Garage Build

    Polyaspartic floor installation questions

    I'm having my floor done with a polyurea-chip-polyaspartic system. They are saying I can walk on it in 6hrs... and drive/park after 24hrs.

    Side load garage driveway help

    26ft from door out to edge of concrete. Occasionally drop a tire off when backing out. Its a good thing we don't have a wall right there. Also glad there is room for snow
