    Maxjax Installs: Post Here

    Seems like a cool thing especially that you don't have to drill new holes into the concrete but I believe one of the key features of the new MaxJax that they stated was they pushed the mounting holes back further to create a much less chance of pull out of the anchors. I'd have to find the...

    Maxjax Installs: Post Here

    I know right?! For giggles I thought, why not upgrade my first gen maxjax to the newer one. Seems like they made some nice improvements and the auto locking feature would definitely be convenient compared to the manual safety bars... Then I went on their site and saw the price and I was like...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Why would it defeat the purpose of the airbag? The airbag is going to easily blow through the stitching if it deploys. A lot of vehicles come with leather stitched airbags. I believe the LC500 from the factory does, along with some Porsches and MBs. -Nigel

    What are these black marks on hard wood floring?

    So I talked to my mom more about this. Thank you all for the replies! I brought up the water issue and she said it's then more than likely from the carpet cleaner that they have. We've had dogs for several years and when they would have an accident they would whip out the carpet steam...

    What are these black marks on hard wood floring?

    So after 40 years my mom is finally going to start updating her house. As far as I can ever remember the house always had carpet and it's always been hiding hardwood floors. I can remember two carpet changes when I was a kid but never once saw the wood flooring. My mom started cutting up and...

    MaxJax height adapter wall mount? Or any thing that might work?

    Years ago I made a little wall mount for the 3" height extension adapters for my max jax. I have since gotten their 5.5" and now recently got their low profile 2" ones. Needless to say I'd like to not have them all on the floor but at the same time, I remember it taking me a while to make out...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Installed my exhaust. I painted the rear most muffler part black to be OEM ish... I don't like shiny mufflers. I was on the fence between burnt titanium tips or stainless steel. I ended up going with a burnt titanium tips It goes nicely with the blue on my F badge. I'm happy with the sound...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Decided to upgrade my Pioneer Avic D3 in my Ford ranger to something slightly newer...lol. Pioneer DMH 1500 NEX. It's the same one in the Solara and I'm going to put another one in my STi. I primarily only use the Spotify or Pandora app. And apparently from what I've gathered the newer...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Tinted my RCF's windows. Turned out nice. Then a few days later I was not happy at all with how the back window turned out. Apparently I didn't clean the window as thoroughly as I could have and as a result there was contamination and dust on the back window. You can see it on the back...

    Looking for installer in Northern Virginia for Car Lift

    I am also in NOVA, and the mere mention of high track garage doors years ago to ANY installer around here was instantly quoting me $2k+ each side, which is ridiculous. I ended up finding these guys at the CVS after getting an implant put in for a tooth and was there picking up pain medication...

    V3 Bug/Suggestion Box

    Was the theme update removed? This was the before, then when I go to perferences it's looks like the second picture. After: Is there a chance we can get a dark theme? I ask this because all the white is extremely "bright" in a way. Most forums I'm on there is a feature for a darker color...

    Keeping the HOA happy

    This is actually not bad advice in terms of getting on the board... I did this years ago (and still on our HOA). I was asked to join years ago when certain people left so that way we could keep certain things maintained but also be more lack with things. As it sits now we've approved so much...

    What is general $ for asphalt install/expansion?

    First time parking in the spot. I thought to backup camera would help so I could see the edge but because it drops off it doesn't help much. I'm going to buy one of those rubber parking bumpers and probably drill and attach it into the back of the asphalt driveway just in case. It will also...

    What is general $ for asphalt install/expansion?

    So I think because my extension wasn't huge it was probably a higher $ to sq ft. I think I paid roughly $12 per sq foot. Prior to contacting the guys again I went and got a couple people and they all said their minimum to come out was $2500. My pad wasn't huge... or at least the initial...

    What is general $ for asphalt install/expansion?

    Old thread but I just had the drive way extended again... lol. Same guys who did the first extension. Super nice. NO BS. I'm sure I actually paid a little higher than what I should have but honestly I'm ok with that. So this time around we extended it about an extra 4' width to the already...

    Insurance company. Never heard this one

    How much is the total claim? This seems crazy to me that you are going through this much hassle over siding. If insurance isn't wanting to do the entire shed which rightfully so they shouldn't. Can't you just have them cut you a check? ANY claim I've made with our house the person is super...
