I have finally decided to get an iPod. I used to have a nice Zen Vision but the ex took it when she moved out. Now my new bike has a hook up for an ipod so I'm in the market. I have an adapter to use the headphone jack on my phone but you can't change songs or playlists or anything, and the...

Went and made a little impulse purchase today. Pick it up either tomorrow or Saturday, will post real pictures soon but these will have to suffice until then.

Is it possible to get colormatched paint in a rattle can? Maybe it's because my color is brand new but I'm striking out everywhere. This summer I want to paint some of the plastic in the engine bay and the rear bumper. Bumper will probably go black to match the front but the engine bay I want to...

Decided I was sick of the same old stock truck look so I made some changes the other day. Bet you guys didn't know that they offered a stepside option on an 8' bed. The other day we got about 2" of ice followed by 12" of snow. F150 ahead of me managed to find dry pavement and hit the...

Probably going to be getting a soft tonneau cover for my truck in the next month or two, just need some relatively weatherproof storage with the regular cab. Anyone with experience have recommendations for brands or features to look for or stay away from? Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk

Anyone have experience with these? I've seen a couple trucks on another site that had them and they seem like the perfect compromise between missing my old truck with a topper and needing the open bed for tall items. I really like the look of them too. Haven't seen a lot of discussion about how...

Dad has been on a spending spree lately for tax purposes. Here's our other fun new tool at work. :thumbs:

There is absolutely no point to this thread other than to whore the Toolbox so Jim lets us keep it. Feel free to up your post count by posting useless crap. Here's our version of a roofing nailer.

Picked up 2 new work trucks today. This will be our second go with utility boxes. Last time we ordered one with every possible option ext cab 4x4 that was totaled 2 months after we bought it so we went back to buying the cheapest trucks available. We actually got a screaming deal on these but we...

At your home garage/shop what do you do mostly? Work on cars, metal fab, woodworking, something else? If you do it all which do you prefer? My garage sees a little bit of everything but I would say at this point it is predominantly metal fab. If the price of materials (both metal and wood) keep...

I know they cater mostly to businesses but has anyone ordered from MSC for personal orders? I have used Grainger in the past because we have a local distributor that has pretty much everything in stock so it saves a bunch of searching but they don't do you any favors on pricing. MSC isn't much...

Lets get some pictures of the man caves going. I like seeing how other people have their set up, always manage to get a few ideas from them. I'm sure most have seen mine in it's current state of cluster **** but I will post again anyway. Everything is pulled away from the walls to put up...

I thought we should make a list of good buys for new tool whores or those looking to add to the collection. If your only input is snapon feel free to give that advice in another thread. If you have a specific snapon tool that has done great service for a reasonable price feel free to post it...

A couple of months back I picked up the Harbor Freight 11 drawer rolling tool cabinet with hopes of replacing 7 or 8 small boxes to get everything in one place. When I brought it home and was working on putting it together the first thing I noticed is it just feels flimsy. Compared to the...

Post up a review on the grinders you have and use. I currently have 3 of the Dewalt 9 amp grinders in the garage. 1 has a wire wheel, 1 is strictly used with flap discs and the other switches between cutoff and standard grinding wheels. These puppies have been worked and always impress. You can...

I was going to make a poll but there are just too many options to put it all into a poll. What brand welder do you prefer and which process. Just threw my harbor freight flux core in the garbage the other day while getting the garage cleaned up to insulate. Picked up a Lincoln SP-125 a few...

I know most people said towing mirrors wouldn't look right on my truck but I am seriously wanting to change my mirrors and figure I should just go ahead and get the ones I want. My major goal for the change is getting heated mirrors, this is an option I didn't realize I relied on as much as I...

Got an offer I couldn't refuse today from a buddy at work looking to sell a subaru. Not sure what year the car is but it's not too terribly old, my guess is newer than 2000. It's an outback with 206,000 on the clock, brakes are worn on all 4 corners but other than that it's ready for the next...

Put a redneck soft tonneau cover on the truck today, here's the install write up. Get a tarp from harbor freight that measures 7'6" by 5'6". Use bungee straps to to attach front to hooks in bed. Pull tarp over bed and use long bungee straps to hook to trailer hitch. :lol:

I know quik has one but does anyone else have a center console in their regular cab? I have been debating taking out the middle seat and building one but I'm not sure yet. I never plan to put 3 people in the front seat but I know the day I do the swap I will need to fit 3 people in there.

Anyone have a list of states that is illegal to have devices mounted on your windshield (ie GPS)? The only one I remember from my trucking days is Minnesota but I didn't spread my wings much. I am looking into upgrading my radio in my truck and can't decide between a regular head unit and...

In the dodge world the Aeroturbine 3030xl is one of the more popular mufflers. For some reason it seems the GM and Ford guys have not taken to this muffler. Does anyone have any experience with it, extra credit to anyone that can find a clip of one on a 5.3 silverado. Not sure I want to go with...

Is there any reason an intake off an 08 wouldn't fit on my 10? I am looking at S&B kit and they have one listed for 07& 08 1500's but nothing for 09 or 10.

Lets make a list of decent sites or vendors that make or sell performance parts for trucks. I have never gotten too far into performance on my previous trucks so this is kind of a learning thread for me. So far I have the 2 big guys www.jegs.com www.summitracing.com Neither of them have much...
