We did the 100lb bags. I’d probably put my back out if I tried to lift one now! 😵

I’m not convinced it has to be replaced but I had it ready in case I needed it so thought I might as well go ahead.

Tesla has one you can adapters for…will work on pretty much any plug.

I’m camping at Gordon Bay, near Cowichan Lake, BC. I snuck away to Chemainus today to go to a cedar yard that makes 6x8 fence panels, of which I need 6. They’re very nice, made with better and thicker wood than the box store panels, and cheaper. I’ll rent a truck next week and pick them up.

I did this on mine last year too. Had the OEM starter rebuilt. If I had a lift I would have gone in from the bottom but I don’t and it seemed like it would be even harder on the ground than from the top. OEM intake manifold gasket was $100CAD 🤡

When I was in my early 20’s I loaded boxcars with bags of canary seed. -40 or +40, we had to do it whenever the train pulled in…

2010 Nissan Frontier. Small access panel. Makes a mess and easy to cut yourself.

2010 Nissan Frontier 4.0L 111,664km (69,384 miles) OCI 15,876km (9864 miles) Supertech 5w40 Euro Fram Extra Guard Sold this to my BIL a year ago and he still hadn’t changed the oil. I did it today since I borrowed it for a camping trip. I’ll remind him to do it every 6 months now.

I sold my Tercel last year at 375,000km to a young guy who wanted to keep it going. This was an incredibly cheap car to operate and maintain. I got rid of it only due to the lack of modern safety features. I had to replace the distributor a couple of years back and noticed that parts were...

I sold my 2010 Nissan Frontier to my BIL a year ago and learned a few days back that he hasn't changed the oil yet. I have borrowed the truck for a few days for camping and moving some things so I bought: Supertech 5w40 Euro Fram Extra Guard Nissan crush washer The Nissan guy at the...

I’m on the ferry from Victoria to Vancouver. Heading to a vintage hockey and baseball card show and will meet up with some friends who are coming up from Washington State and Oregon.

A quick sip will do it. Keep some light crude on hand to cleanse the palate if your sample happens to be sour!

Might be a bit thick for starting during the coldest days of winter (in some areas of the country) but 15w40 would be fine up here in most places at most times…

I’ve used Supertech 5w40 Euro in my 2005 CRV for years. Before that I used everything from 0w20 and up - never noticed the slightest difference in feel, etc…I wouldn’t hesitate to use a 20w50 and am co rodent I would see no difference.

My story is the same as others above. I first noticed a floater in grade 9 (I'm 47 now) and I found it incredibly distracting for a month or so and then simply got used to it. Over the years I have got more. Like alarmguy, I generally don't notice them but due to this thread I saw them all...
