That's your fatal mistake. Pack the necessary items first, and inexpertly, then feign a back spasm and let them puzzle over what item or two they may or may not be able to fit in.

I once contracted a minor extension for my mountain home. For years later I was finding and picking the odd nail, screw or bolt on my dirt driveway. My tires helped finding some more.

In the past, I lifted at the front-most crossmember's midpoint and placed the jack stands at the frame rails about a foot behind the front wheels. Now that I have installed skid plates for the suspension (OEM), transfer case (OEM) and Catalytic converters/transmission pan (Skeerdy Cat), I have...

The required two sleep cycles after the Full Reboot are tricky to get right sometimes.

Curt 45900 adjustable hitch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004SMGAJ6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Plenty sturdy for my 10-foot aluminum utility trailer.

Hmmm... Don't through away your old tires... just convert them to studded winter tires.

A tire shop once explained to me that if the tire is compromised too near to the sidewall, then it should be replaced. Luckily, my tire was fixable that day. On another instance, upon discovering a low tire after a 2-hour highway drive, the tire shop actually scooped a handful of rubber powder...

Yup... Repurpose as needed!

Between myself and my wife, we bought 10 vehicles new over the past 40 years. Bought an extended warranty for three of them. Only one of the three paid for itself. One of the remaining 7 would have really benefited from one. So I guess, there's a 20% chance an extended warranty would pay for...

Not mentioned yet which I carry: ponchos, heat reflective blankets, a knee pad, an old yoga mat, and a sturdy jack stand.

I bought an inexpensive Plano 108L trunk from Home Depot which can fit all kinds of knickknacks, including a floor jack at the bottom as long as it's within 30x12 inches. My Arcan 3-ton hybrid fits nicely there. Make sure to get the model with a sealed lid... there are three different lid...

Now that I saw first-hand how much trapped oil was collected in the ziploc bag (about 2 ounces), and realize I could bring to ground the factory-size filter without spilling its contents, I feel much more confident in following your "spin off with a towel" suggestion. Seeing is believing. Wish...

Simply put, there's a column of oil which remains trapped above the filter after draining the pan. One should plan accordingly to avoid soiling any components directly beneath the filter housing. Here is a photo of my filter and the steering components directly below it (filter points straight...

I was lucky then. Being cautious, I actually made sure the filter started loosening before I touched the drain plug. I did face a much tougher battle with one of my Subaru's wheel bearing assemblies. After 8 years of back and forth along my muddy and potholed long driveway, the assembly was...

Just changed oil/filter and it was easier than I expected. Used a single 1-gallon ziploc bag (had another handy but didn't need it). Had to mangle the factory installed filter a bit to get it loose, even after idling the truck for a few minutes. There was enough clearance rearward to the axle...

We learned to love it, warts and all. Seriously, I value the peace of mind its anti-theft feature gives me. Same goes for the catalytic shield I just installed.

Sounds like the Tazer PIN Lock being over-vigilant. It happened to me a few times. Each incident, however, resulted in engine light remaining on until a couple of drive cycles later. Once, it required a Tazer Reboot sequence to turn it off.

Glad it was finally fixed, and really curious to know the details of the shifter fix. My Tazer equipped truck triggered a hijack mode once (user error) and locked up the shifter in D. One of the messages that came up included the need to service the drive system and the shifter (don't recall...

None that I've seen. Mathematically, 35" diameter = 3.1416 * 35 * 25.4 = 2,793 mm circumference

35" according to zautomotive: " 2020 and newer vehicles have a tire size limit of 35″ after which the ParkSense will be disabled. This is a Dodge factory limit and there is currently no way to bypass it. "
