Pulled my brand new 2023 Nissan 4x King Cab Frontier into our garage. Then I woke up... Spent time this morning breaking down cardboard boxes and crushing down a bunch of water, etc, plastic jugs for the recycle pickup next week. Got my crushed down soda (beer) cans ready to go as well. Wife...

I agree. There are way too many negative reviews on FP readers out there.

We used four 18 x 18" rubber backed gray indoor/out door carpet 'tiles' that were placed so that the tires rested on them when the vehicle was parked (of course). Picked up such at a $ store.

Two here (a drill and a line trimmer). The rest are corded.

Puma, the well known and respected Germany based cutlery manufacturer, has been offering a line of edged tools that consist of parts made in Germany that are shipped to and assembled in China. These knives, and the like, are ~ 50% lower in cost compared to nearly identical tools that are...

I just fill such 'cracks' with name brand silicone sealer that, of course, matches the color (or close to it).

Shortening the tongue on a trailer will make it more difficult to maneuver. This is especially true when backing up.
