    Tandem axle trailer $1600

    What is the width between the fenders? How long? What's the gross weight? Is there any way to secure decking in the center? In need something that can flex from atvs to off-road jeep.

    These new "safe" gas cans

    From what I gathered in searching for an second off-road can, summit and other brands like rotopax(what I have) make a white utility/water jug that comes with a non-carb compliant regular flex spout. The jug is the same but white, the spout is not legal for fuel use. I have an older rotopax...

    Oppionions please (epoxy related)

    I don't mind epoxy, but I wouldn't put in the barn personally. Our concrete stays cold long after it gets hot, and then we get condensation. Ours is in the Ludington area so you probably are about the same temp wise. Condensation on epoxy, even with some texture, is slippery as hell.

    Suggestions for Budget-Oriented, Reliable Tools

    I second the bench and vice, and add some good clamps. I just used mine yesterday straightening an ATV rack that had some personal time with a tree.

    Sinking driveway - need a transition

    We pump-jacked the sinking sidewalk, it's quite nice. I would do it on the driveway too except the concrete quality there is terrible so I am just ripping it out.

    How Often Do You Break Tools?

    I break screwdrivers, drill bits, sockets, and anything with a wood handle. Fiberglass handles are mandatory.

    Inch Pound Torque Wrench

    Bosch platinum spark plugs I think specify 21 in torque, and I have used it installing a Honda OEM roof rack to their specs.

    30x40 Pole Barn in a Michigan winter - It has begun!

    I haven't read your whole thread, just glanced. I can tell you however our barn (30deepx40wide) it seemed wise to put a big, floor to ceiling shelf in the middle (we have 2 single doors on the 40' side) between the aisles. It was really a bad idea, it was like having two rooms. Stuff just got...

    Nice! The wheel wells don't even look like they have a hint of rust and an I6? You got lucky!

    Tow straps, heavy duty jacks for 3+ton trucks, jumper cables, flares, flashlight, and massive first aid/trauma kit. FJ still has it's factory tool kit as well. We tend to help much more than we need to be helped.

    Remodeled garage and bought/sold house: your experience?

    Size and neatness matter more than how decked out it is. Most people don't care, they are just going to dump **** in it anyway.

    How do you keep mice out of a stored car?

    Most health food stores have it or will order it. You may find it in a craft store in the soap or candle supplies if you are lucky. Peppermint Essential Oil, not fragrance oil. One is real, one is an imitation.
