    Reese 12,000 lb weight distributing hitch $130 at TSC

    Certainly no friends. The manager took about an hour to investigate before she called me back the last time, and I asked if she had found out how it happened. She said she had no idea as they are supposed to check ID’s. She said she checked the cameras, but there was nothing at the time it...

    Reese 12,000 lb weight distributing hitch $130 at TSC

    Managed to find one about 45 minutes away and ordered while at work yesterday. Got the confirmation to pickup within a few hours, but didn’t get up there to grab it same day. Today while at work got a notification that someone picked it up. I called before driving up and looks like someone...

    2007 Nissan X-Terra 4WD

    The folks above are dead on regarding taking action to prevent SMOD. I replaced the radiator in my first Frontier, it’s a painless job in an afternoon. I believe that year would have spec’d Nissan Matic J ATF. At some point they switched to Matic S and it should be backward compatible. That...

    Oil + filter hoarders

    Stash has grown a lot, this year. I’ve been able to offer free oil changes to a lot of family and friends. Also dropped off a significant amount to a family friend that is a mechanic in a small town. He does most of the work for my dad’s farm these days, so this put some goodwill there.

    Free lifetime oil change. FCP Euro.

    ECS joining for parts is great, but they do exempt the single use items like fluids. So, no lifetime oil changes.

    Post your latest oil change

    My stash has gotten so big, I’m going to need to recruit more friends and family to get through it all. I’ll leave that to some other lucky folks. Between you and I, I’d say we have the majority of the TQ from Austin.

    2015 Honda Civic LX

    My wife has driven a 2015 Civic LX for the last 5 years or so. It’s got about 75k miles on it now (her driving has decreased a lot since Covid and WFH). We have had no mechanical issues out of it. I found a few cases of HCF-2 for cheap on CL a couple years back and have started adding drain and...

    Bi-directional engine code scanner

    I have an Autel DS808 from 2018. Happy with the tool, and it’s paid for itself several times over with diagnostics and key programming. My 2 complaints - no Bluetooth capability (so I can’t use a wireless dongle) and the SW Subscription is $350 a year to reactivate/update to the latest vehicles...

    What triggered you to align with a certain manufacturer for your cordless tools?

    I picked up Ryobi about 10 years ago. I was a poor student looking to get some basic tools, and was looking for a deal. Found a clearance deal on 2 packs of 4Ah batteries for $25.03 each at HD. Picked up 10 packs and resold half on eBay to make enough to buy a 6 tool starter kit. I’ve stayed...

    Any BITOGERs live in Pleasanton, TX?

    I’m in Austin, so it’s a couple hours. Could make a day out of it and visit San Antonio on a weekend though.

    Soliciting thoughts- 2019 DRW F350 stolen (salvage but clear title)

    Sorry, should have included it all! There was a second post that seems to list the rear separately. https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/d/san-antonio-2020-ford-king-ranch-rear/7630354984.html Course, it can’t hurt to negotiate! Best of luck with your recovery!

    Soliciting thoughts- 2019 DRW F350 stolen (salvage but clear title)

    Found a person in San Antonio that seems to have the rest of your interior, but he wants a pretty penny for it. Nearly $10K including the rear seats. https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/d/san-antonio-2020-ford-king-ranch-front/7630367217.html Excited to see what comes of this adventure...
