Take a look at the Garagepass.co website. Business model is evolving. I think you can now just rent by the hour. It first started as a monthly subscription with no minimum required or lock-in

Cool! Will definitely wave. You gonna be with Dan? I was attempting to keep up with you on a winter run couple years ago. On the infamous “slingshot” recovery failure that was scary but ended up ok.

It’s DIY because you do the work yourself. You rent lift time from this young owner who is trying to start a business. I hope he succeeds. Because he offers a service I need. So he has at least one customer. And if you notice, all 3 lifts were in use on a Thursday afternoon. Seems like there’s...

I’ll suggest that. I didn’t know. Looked up to verify.

Oakland, CA has a new DIY garage space with reservable lifts. Garagepass.co recently opened. Nice space near the Coliseum. The owner is an attorney and car enthusiast. The place is insured and has fluid disposal permit. I changed my diff and transfer case fluids there. And did a thorough...

I have the AAL tailgate mounted compressor. It’s more protected than in the hood. Plus it looks look. And don’t need to open the hood. And it’s quiter since it’s muffled. Works extremely well. Gives me joy every time I use it.

Is this in the front passenger wheel well? What did you use to shield that?

Using a normal hose sprayer works pretty well too. Don’t know if it works as well?! But I was amazed at the amount of dirt/sand poured out of the frame holes. And thanks for the reminder! I’ll do it again today after my recent desert trip.

Our expectations are way off base for a minimum wage culture. That’s all I’m gonna say. This is getting to be an X thread

This entire thread is about brake pads? It’s a consumable item. Like oil. (Ok maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned oil… or tires… heh.)

👆This! Especially if it’s in a wealthy neighborhood. They’re always impressed when someone does their own work. They love to BS.

My experience snow wheeling on new AT4s (315/70/R17) was underwhelming and actually frightening. Twice while driving in mostly hard packed snow, somewhat wet, I fishtailed unexpectedly while driving around 30mph. I was able to save myself but slowed down after the second time. Driver behind me...
