2023.06.09 18:29 Cheyennesoraya96 2020 Kia soul hitch
| Does anyone know if I can use these two products together for a trailer? I am moving from TX to CA. & just want to rent a 4x6 uhaul. Uhaul quoted me over $500 for just the hitch installation, but I saw these online so I’m not sure if this would suffice? I plan on taking the hitch off once I get to CA. Thanks in advance. 😁 submitted by Cheyennesoraya96 to MechanicAdvice [link] [comments] |
2023.06.08 22:09 ekjswim Small Bolt-On Receiver Hitch?
Hi all, just picked up a 2002 Sport Trac.
I have a bike rack for a receiver hitch from a previous vehicle, and I was trying to find the quickest/easiest way to get a receiver bolted on to the bumper, just for that bike rack and other non-towing needs.
I see the
spot in the rear bumper for a trailer ball, and figures someone must make a small receiver on a stem like that of a standalone hitch ball, but have found no such thing. Does something like that exist?
I also see the two vertical holes just below the hitch ball hole on the bumper, and wondered if it was set up for a
bolt-on receiver like this but all the types like this I've seen appear to be mounting horizontally to the bottom of a bumper, not vertically on those two holes. Are there bolt-on receivers for Sport Tracs that use these holes? (Are those holes meant for safety chains if you have a ball on the bumper?)
Thanks!

2023.06.08 20:05 elduderino260 Tear/squaredrop trailer vs trailer with rooftop tent?
My partner and I have been camping out of our Subaru Forester when we travel, primarily navigating decent to not-so-decent Forest Service roads in NM, but with the addition of a dog to the mix, I don't think that's going to be tenable moving forward. We're not looking for anything elaborate; we don't need a kitchen or bathroom. We are pretty much thinking a box on wheels that's somewhat insulated to extend our shoulder season camping, quick to set up, spacious enough for us to sit up in (not necessarily stand),and waterproof so we can sleep in it and store stuff while we're on the road. Ultimately, we'd like to get a truckbed camper when we get a new vehicle, but we're not looking to replace the Subie anytime soon. I was initially considering teardrop/squaredrop camper trailers (e.g.,
Hiker Trailers,
Runaway Campers,
Tiny Campers), but most of those are a bit out of our price range ($4000ish) new, and used market around me is very limiting. I had previously discounted rooftop tents because they seem to be a pain for dogs and didn't seem to offer much in the way of additional weather protection beyond a normal tent. However, in looking into them further, I am starting to reconsider. I've seen some nice examples of
hardshell rooftop tents that would offer some more weather protection and faster setup than a normal tent, and putting it on a
cheap trailer would bring down the cost (vs a teardrop) and still be relatively easy for a dog to get in and out. I'm also considering just putting on a
truck cap on a utility trailer, which would probably be even cheaper, but maybe not as warm? However, I don't see these latter options all that often, so I'm wondering what people think or have experiences with? Or am I missing any other alternatives? Thanks!

2023.06.08 19:20 WoodBoogerSpork XR Bearing Change - post mortem
Just completed a bearing change on my XR. Wanted to give my 2 cents to others who may be contemplating a bearing change.
Background - I am an IT person. Not super mechanical, but I own my own home and have a basic toolbox. I repair most things in my home that are not super technical. Think - changing garage door springs or putting up a privacy fence. Anything that falls into plumbing, electrical or major appliance change outs I leave to professionals. Just offering this as a kind of litmus test for others.
Where I went wrong - The press. Frankly I have ZERO need for a press outside of changing my one wheel bearings. I wanted to go as cheap as possible to get the job done. This can help you learn from my mistake. You need to ensure that the press working area is big enough to encompass your hub. (This will depend on the board type you have, but you need space.) I tried to get off SUPER cheap and bought a 1 ton press that only had a 5 inch working area. So I was able to get one bearing in, but not the other. Here is what I bought off Amazon.
Vevor 3 Ton For those wondering, it is a total POS, BUT it gets the job done and for the least amount of money I could find. Did I mention I have no other use for an arbor press?
I picked up a Bearing Driver Set at Harbor Freight (
https://www.harborfreight.com/bearing-race-and-seal-driver-set-10-piece-63261.html) Harbor Freight! - When it absolutely positively needs to work ONCE!
Oh you will also need metric allen wrenches. I had SAE, but the inner hub bolts are metric.
The actual change: The good news is I didn't fuck up my board. Just ran my first test ride this morning. Went with ceramic Grizzly bearings. I froze them before pressing them in. I think that definitely helps. Once I had the appropriately sized press, getting the bearings in was actually pretty easy. My biggest headache was getting the plate back onto the stator. The plate wouldn't seat all the way back down and was leaving about an 1/8 inch gap. Drove me nuts. Eventually I just got out the old 8lb sledge and went to town until it fit. (Joking. Don't do that) I did monkey around with it for about 30 minutes before I was finally able to get it seated.
After that the rest of the change was pretty standard stuff. My motor now makes an interesting rubbing noise, but I have searched and found plenty of other boards that folks have posted videos of and mine sounds exactly like theirs, which I have been told is nothing to worry about.
Hoping that helps some of you out there that may be on the fence about changing your bearings yourself. Took me about 6 hours all told. That time was filled with me carefully watching videos and striving not to fuck up my board. In the future this will probably be about 2-3 hours I would guess.
Happy floating.

2023.06.08 03:55 SouthernPractice2145 I’m curious on what the differences is between these 3 Daytona Jacks.
| I’m wondering what the difference is between the, “3 Ton Low Profile Super Duty Jack” “3 Ton Long Reach Low Profile Jack” “3 Ton Low Profile Professional Jack” I’m not too sure what the difference between the 3 are. If I could get some help defining the difference I’d appreciate it! submitted by SouthernPractice2145 to harborfreight [link] [comments] |

2023.06.07 22:40 cheebnrun Eastwood vs Titanium Multiprocess Welders
Looking to start welding as a hobby and DYI, as I've wanted to for a while. I'm looking at an
Eastwood MP200i Multi Process and the
Titanium 200 Multiprocess from HF. Both welders do MIG, TIG and stick, have reviewed pretty well as beginne homeowner welders and fit my budget ( they are actually the same price). I actually think they may be the same welder, or made in the same factory. But does anyone have any input on either of these. I may be leaning towards the Eastwood because it comes with a bit more accessories and 3 year warranty but I haven't seen as many people review or comment on it as the Titanium.

2023.06.07 17:58 goosesquad99 Placing Printer on top of toolbox cart?
I was wanting to see if anyone in this thread has used a mechanic/portable toolbox as a 3D-printer stand/set-up? If so, have you had any problems with your prints at all. I am looking at a 5-drawer U.S General Toolbox to place my Prusa Mini on (
Toolbox Link). I am thinking of placing it inside the large top compartment and keeping the lid open at all times. I'd keep this toolbox stationary and never moving around. I'd love to hear your insight on this possible set-up.

2023.06.06 01:43 pairustwo Concrete and hammer drill problems.
I am having a hell of a time drilling holes in a concrete retaining wall for new fence post fasteners.
I have a
Bauer Hammer Drill and a
Bosh 1/2 inch SDS Rotary Hammer Bit. I keep reading online that drilling holes for a 3 inch anchor bolt should just be a few minutes. Not 15-20.
Any ideas what could be slowing me down? The drill is set to forward. The hammer mode is definitely on. I'm putting a lot of downward pressure on the drill - I have crazy blisters all over my hand.
Tips?

2023.06.05 23:26 jtxk First outdoor greenhouse help - recommendations for zone 10A
Hello!
I am working for a business who specializes in expensive rare plants (Thai Cons, Albo Monstera, Pink Princess, Strawberry Shake, Anthuriums, etc.) We are needing to expand from their home operation and create a bettestable environment for the plants and propagations.
I am tasked with building this new greenhouse and have little experience in greenhouses (A small Milsbo cabinet), but need any/all advice to help reduce frustration in the future. My boss bought a "one stop gardens" 10x12ft greenhouse with 4 vents (
https://www.harborfreight.com/lawn-garden/gardening-garden-tools/greenhouses/10-ft-x-12-ft-greenhouse-with-4-vents-93358.html)
The goal for me is to get automatic vent openers, misters to help reduce heat during the summer months, shade cloth (not sure what % though) and automatic fans for airflow, but don't know if there is anything else I should get to help create a more autonomous/stable environment for the tropical plants to thrive in.
The greenhouse will be located on level concrete with a motor home outlet near it. I'll need to build a base of netting and gravel, but don't know what type would be best. Our biggest priority is good airflow, humidity of 65-70%(?), and keeping pests out, as the product is expensive.
They are located in zone 10A and any information would be greatly appreciated!

2023.06.05 03:45 SonicResidue Some Harbor Freight History, and Forgotten Tool Boxes
This thread about a vintage HF flyer reminded me of a discussion on the Garage Journal forums a few years back about the history of Harbor Freight from someone who worked for a competitor at the time.
You can read it here, and although it wanders off topic, the first half or so of the thread is pretty interesting. There is also some speculation on if an older company was the forerunner of the US General line.
Also, I don't know how many of you have used
archive.org to browse old versions of the HF website, but it's fun to do, and see some of the stuff they used to carry, even off the wall items like bugles. I did so right before the Series 2 USG tool boxes came out. Everyone was excited for two new colors, but it's interesting to see that they used to offer black and yellow, as well as a totally different box in stainless steel. You may remember some of the boxes from the early 2000's with the "crinkle" finish, but the quality seemed to be a bit less than what we have today.
Red and stainless, yellow and black, and another stainless steel box. Notice the prices weren't much different than where the series 2 boxes started, over 10 years later.
Personally, I would be interested to see if anyone has any of these boxes, especially the yellow and stainless ones. I only ever saw the old red crinkle finish.
