Sadly, the shift interlock described in the manual that can be accessed via the console slot is not the one that typically fails on LX-platform cars. The reasonably accessible one is the Park interlock, and indeed can be handy in some situations where you need to release the parking pawl...

Yep, classic Pink Thingy failure. I pre-emptively replaced the one on my Magnum with a Dorman unit just in case. You can remove the console trim around the shifter and manually actuate the thingy until you get it fixed.

Jeep wheel bearing hub to knuckle bolts are typically 12pt.

Same, I have good friends/family and any help I give them is usually met with lots of beer or assistance in kind - I've got a fence to refinish this year, so I'm banking favours. :D If they're in dire straits, pay it forward. Plus, the more I can get my friends comfortable working on their own...

I have no complaints about the 16' and wouldn't really want an 18'. 16 is tons of room to drive in two vehicles, and the extra wall space between the doors gave me room for the big storage rack that runs perpendicular to the wall, plus some room along the adjacent wall. Good call on 35ft vs...

You can get lots done in a garage that size. Mine is 24x35, set up as double + single bays. (16' and 9' doors) The double bay is generally for parking the daily drivers (and used as a work area when necessary) and the single bay is dedicated wrench space. Lots of room for the work bench...

That's one option, and certainly the right one if you plan to have devices hardwired to that router. That said, if you're only looking for WiFi, it's a whole lot simpler (and often cheaper) to just install a wireless access point instead of a full-on router. I dug an old WAP54G out of a box and...

Excluding the obvious life-or-death items (PPE, etc.), my vote goes to flare nut wrenches. Your average hobbyist car-guy can easily get away with using budget sockets, ratchets, etc, but a cheap set of flare nut wrenches can really ruin your day and make you resort to Vise-grips when you really...

Yeah it would presumably be against the anvil. Sorry, I'm not super familiar with its inner workings or grease requirements, but a bit of extra lube in there certainly couldn't hurt anything.

I will probably never find a use for the 1 1/2", but man is it ever an impressive wrench to have laying around. :lol:

Have to say I really like my set of Proto spline-drive ratcheting combos. Nice reversible ratcheting ends, no lobster-claw on the open end and they've stood up to all the reefing I can give them.

It's activated by a certain amount of force working against the direction of rotation. So if the driver encounters resistance, it kicks in the hammer action.

My X4 impact just spins, no hammering. You may have some debris still caught up in there.

I've got the same one on my car trailer, great little winch and you can get them even cheaper without the fairlead and accessories: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015U6VLQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 If you're worried about strength, pick up a ****** block & shackle (or buy the previously linked kit that...

The two single doors on my garage were similar in style, but the springs were vertical and the doors (believe it or not) were actually of worse quality than yours. They weren't even watertight. Or windproof. After trying to make them work for one winter, I came to the conclusion they just...

All of the Vessel 6-pc sets (Dual tone, crystal, and Impact) are on clearance for 50% off lowest ticketed price at my local store (Calgary North). Larger sets don't seem to be on clearance yet.

It's a lot better than it used to be - you used to have to mail in the original receipt along with the UPC from the box and the registration form. Now you just log into the Ridgid website and input your model # and a number from your receipt and you're done. Super easy, comparatively.

The Flush-fastener style will requite additional machine work and a special fastener - both of which would increase cost. Either Wilde wanted to keep it in-house or Tekton didn't want to inflate the price.

Agreed, these days there just isn't much at HF that you can't get the equivalent of from PA or Amazon for about the same price, exchange rate considered. Plus, buying from PA or Amazon still nets you a warranty you can actually use.

I think he must have mistaken the 3/8" long flex for a 1/2", the Tekton's ratchet head is about average size for a modern 1/2" drive. Gotta be a Fubar!
