    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    My buddy just picked up a Raptor and the front bumper and driver side nerf bar was not in the greatest shape, but he found nice ones down here. I went and picked them up, put them in my garage and cleaned them up for him.

    ubiquiti lightbeam

    I have several Ubiquiti WAP's and a router, they make very good Prosumer grade equipment, but for what you need you might be overthinking it. Why not just use Powerline Ethernet adapters and connect a WAP or router at the other end?

    Wifi and mesh systems

    Is the electric in your shop fed from your house or is it separate? If it's fed from your house, get a set of powerline ethernet adapters and put a WAP or router in the building. That's how I have my garage setup and it's been rock solid for years.

    John deere lawn tractors

    Transaxle is more important than the engine when it comes to power in the little mowers. If you have a steep hill and try to pull anything, care much less about the HP and more about the transaxle. I found my dad an old JD GT275 with a single cylinder engine, but had a K70 transaxle and pulls...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Changed the oil in the wife's car for the 1st time. It's a '21 Kia Soul, I'm glad that they put access holes in the belly pan to allow access to the drain plug and oil filter as I hate removing the belly pans to change the oil like on my WRX. I cleaned up under the hood, added washer fluid and...

    Ratcheting screwdrivers: yah or naw?

    They definitely have a place in the toolbox. I have a couple Snap-on ratchet drivers and a couple Gearwrench sets. Look around and you can find the Gearwrench sets that have a regular handle as well as a T Handle ratchet driver with a bunch of bits.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    You made good process, but you need to do more sanding. Sometimes you have to start as low as 400 and work up in increments. If they aren't bad, you can start at 600 or 800, then work your way up to 2500 or 3000 before polishing.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    After scrubbing my tires 3 times and washing my truck, I pulled the Durango out since it was dark and pulled the truck in the garage for the night. I dried the truck and applied Duracoat to the tires. This is my first time using it, so we'll see how it goes.

    Cool plaque, looks like it was made with a CNC, but it messed up on the right hand side on some of the letters. How big is the plaque ?

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    All I've gone done in the garage the last week or so is brakes & oil changes... Put Brakes and rotors all the way around the wife's old Kia after an oil change.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Backed the truck in the garage and opened up the EGO push mower I bought to hit some areas I can't get to on my zero turn and inside the small fenced area at a neighbors I mow for. I took it out and used it for a while, it works better than I expected.
