Great experience. My second visit. I bring my own tools. But I needed a couple things which they let me borrow. I have a $70/mth membership. But I have two other cars that need some work. I’ll probably keep it for a couple more months and then may cancel for a few months. There’s no lockin...

Like I said, I’m not sold on Ronin convenience (yet). Having to keep track of yet another “thing” to thread in to drain the oil makes me anxious. That’s just me. It’s a very well built plug. I don’t regret it (yet). I didn’t expect I’d need to carry another part that is easily lost. I equate it...

Late to the party. Did the front & rear diffs and xfer case at 65k. The magnets on front & rear (especially rear) has a lot of metal paste. Fluid was dark. Xfer case was easy but made a mess as I couldn’t remove the xfer skid ( asfir trans skid was so deformed I couldn’t remove. Another day) I...

I can protect it from direct sun using reflectix over the passenger rearmost window. But it still gets hot in the vehicle when sitting. How do you suggest keeping the ambient temp down in the vehicle to protect power banks? Most are in the rear.

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.

This is the reason I haven’t done the rear camera recall. Tailgate table + tailgate air compressor install would need to be removed. I wouldn’t want the dealer to remove and reinstall it. Heck I don’t want to do it!

Did you delete the honeycomb piece? Or reinstall it?

What suspension and tires are you getting?

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.
