I don't think that anyone is criticizing the firefighters directly. As usual, it is the management that is to blame. Think about it...The rank and file people are the ones that do the work, it is the "representation" that is hard to trust because it often seems like they have an agenda. Unions...

Nobody is going to beat you up for not knowing everything.

I built mine in 2006. Things may have changed since then but it sure is rare to see the government DROP any sort of fee.

I'm out in Granite Bay. I had no restrictions but the local fire department required a "Fire Impact fee" of 50 cents per square foot of the shop. $804 for that...I have yet to see a benefit from that expense.

Holeeee CRAP, that is a smokin deal!

Harbor Freight had this: That just seems unusually cheap. Tractor Supply Company had this, I posted it earlier: Then for almost double, they had this: Why so much more for just another 1500 lb rating? Is it because of the synthetic rope? I’m conflicted. I rarely ever...

Tractor Supply has this: It seems that if the dead vehicle still rolls, the rating of the winch might not matter as much? I wonder what they mean? Would 4500 lb mean it could lift 4500 lbs if it were dangling in the air? Pulling a car that rolls isn't nearly the same.

I got a car trailer last year. So far, I've dragged one running and 4 dead vehicles up on it using a hand ratcheting "come-along" and a chain. The heaviest was a 5000 lb Saturn SUV. That sucked! I want to look into a medium duty winch to make this easier. I want something reasonably...

In my last house, I only had a 2 car garage and wanted to maximize floor space. I had a Craftsman horizontal tank 3 HP compressor that I put up in the attic. I ran hard lines with quick disconnect fittings within reach. SC is right...every time the damned thing came on, it vibrated the dust and...

I'd need to see a picture to understand how that mounts to the block.

Absolutely. I've used those cheaper style flaring tools and the tube always seems to move within the clamps, the flares often are crooked too. The only drawback to this bench vise mounted unit is that it does not work in a portable fashion like trying to flare a line still on a car. Eastwood...

Eastwood.... This tool is excellent. Those tools with the C clamp are terrible.

This guy talks a bit feminine but he makes sense....

Better angle:

Great suggestions. I'm thinking on welding two on the inside edges of the front header and the sides: And two on the top of the rear header and sides:

The straight forward and back strap positioning makes the most sense to me too. A guy on YouTube tied down a rock crawler Jeep that way and it seemed to be better thought out. The criss cross method sounds great if nothing ever comes loose.

The spare tire mount is welded quite well from what I can see, thanks.

I just bought a new trailer and need to weld in some D rings. Where did you place yours? I have a Big Tex 18 footer..... A friend suggested welding them on the outside of the side channels like so: Also, I've heard conflicting advice on how to tie down vehicles. Some prefer to...

That is the paranoid person's opinion. In reality, they likely design stuff so that it is faster to assemble. Why would they care about any difficulties there may be for disassembly or service? They SELL a product and to make a bigger profit, they have to build it fast. The same applies to the...

Mine is a Challenger 11,000 lb unit. Excellent product. $3400 installed new in 2015. Prices now will surely be higher. Avoid the cheap lifts....The prices are tempting but this is your car and you under it.

Yeah, but for $150 ???

I considered one but CRAP they are expensive!

Sounds like despite the warnings and concerns, you were never planning on taking any advice anyway.

Uhhh, yeah... I'd trust that like I trust voting integrity!

I won't use the shells again. It was as if the particles are too large and tend to group up and create blockage.

I made the mistake of using sand until I was almost out, then I dumped in walnut shells. Somehow, it all locked up and stopped flowing.

I tried to clear the blockage. I ran a 24" screwdriver through each end but it is blocked solid in the middle.

Hey there, I have a Harbor Freight stand up portable sandblaster that worked fine until the hose clogged up. I am looking for a replacement in a 10 foot length. ID size is 1/2". HF doesn't have replacement hoses for sale, I have to look elsewhere. Anyone have a reliable supplier?
