I drove them all when I ordered my truck. The Sierra was my second choice and what I really didn't like about it was not the fact that their was quite a few lifter failures (I joined a few truck forums and it wasn't just an internet rumour of the issue) but that the lifters were in such short...

Indeed. I was getting gas recently and the guy across from me filling up his new 25 Sierra AT4 said “Good job choosing the Ford. This piece of **** blew the bottom out of the engine in month 3. Can’t wait to get rid of the piece of ****”. Some people say they’ll never buy another Ram, others...

At least make it apples to apples. Our Odyssey has the identical engine bay. No turbo's, no hybrid system, and big plastic covers so you can't get at anything until you remove them (annoying). My 24 F150 engine bay has no covers, two turbos, and clean wiring. Easy to access everything. The...

I built this generator sound box this morning using spare wood I had laying around. The top is angled to allow snow/rain to run off, sound waves to be directed away, and heat to escape easier. It is also the correct size to fit nearby under a deck out of sight to store when not needed. I plan...

Not always. We used Krown for the wife's Odyssey last year and it dripped on the garage floor for days. 25min drive home from Krown, parked in garage, wiped up floor the next day, wife ran errands in van and came back and there were more puddles the following day. I'm guessing it was sprayed in...

Very interesting. I have zero cartilage left in both of my knees as they were MRI'd 14yrs ago. Specialist said my leg muscles are holding the joints adequately and it wasn't time for surgery at my age but made a suggestion of some type of fluid injection that was ~$700 per knee which would last...

I usually take off for the day when I go riding and I'll cover 600-1000km in the day depending on how much dirt exploring I do. I usually end up stopping about every 2hrs either for food/drink/pee. If it's just to pee I'll just scope a quick roadside spot and leave the bike running then be off...

Old Flame brewery in port Perry makes an excellent dark in the colder months.

I tried but only made it about 15min before I moved on.

Sure it’s good for her, but what about the kids? Doesn’t sound like school is on-par with here and there’s certainly less career opportunities. I loved my week in Costa Rica and I’m sure if I was solo I could make a life there but I see more opportunities here. Cutting your own hair is...

Beautiful. I didn't inherit the skills but my Grandfather was an important fella at the Davis Tannery factory in Newmarket.

Agreed, I felt the same way. Enjoyed watching others in the series more.

Has anyone built owl boxes and do they actually attract owls? I built bird houses for blue jays and smaller ones for smaller birds and squirrels chewed the hole bigger on the larger boxes and took them over. Also, has anyone tried making those homemade cricket traps? The buggers start hiding...

SRX was initially only used for a brief 3yrs in the 70's in their sled lineup. The SRX in the motorcycle lineup went for more than 10yrs ending in 97. The SRX name came back to the sled lineup the following year in 98.

I think maybe it helps to live the simple life it you've already experienced it. I grew up with minimal toys, around minimal people out in the countryside, and no silver spoon. I have experienced the more extravagant life but I have no desire for it.

The typical metal gun locker can be easily opened. As stated, meeting the threshold for storage is pretty easy. You could easily build a MDF storage area that meets rules and easily out-performs the CT $250 12-gun locker. Unless it's vault-style or safe-style it's more of a visual deterrent and...

The 07 GSXR600 in my user pic is the track bike that I built for me. Like others stated it's often much cheaper to buy one already converted but if you find some deals and are OK with a bit of work it can be worth it to build one yourself. I bought a crashed bike that needed subframe and that...

Neighbour has a pretty clean Z3 for sale but trunk space is just too tiny. I'd likely pick up a newish Miata to play with for a while and wife would love one but again there's no trunk so it's a no. The Z4 M40 thingy (sorry, I can't keep up with all the different sub models) might be better but...

Looking to replace the F-Type already?
