    Vehicle windshield wiper blades?

    I'm cheap, so I just stick with OEM since they work well for me. I just shopped for wipers for four vehicles and name-brand aftermarket ones were 2x to 3x as much as the stock ones. One of the rare instances when the dealership isn't ripping you off, though I usually buy parts when they have...

    BX 24 front windshield shattered...but WHY?

    What brand of cab? My BX Curtis cab had the windshield on its own hinges/latches and no amount of torsion would bother it in the least.

    Things to look at when buying used BX?

    The tag says BX25 though the stickers say BX25D on later models, but I think the BX23S started in 2017, so maybe the 25 was unsold stock, sold in 2017?

    Lets talk “Security”………..

    I'd recommend looking for 4k cameras at a minimum as the higher resolution is very helpful when you need to pull up footage to identify someone or a vehicle. A UPS (battery backup) is also nice if you lose power often, but that's a separate battery you can buy at a later date. I've been running...

    Are they all this STUPID?

    So true. School doesn't seem to teach them WHY the code was there in the first place. Old inspectors understand the WHY and are reasonable in how you fix a problem, even if it isn't to the letter of the code book. More frustratingly is that the international code most places use is 50 shades...

    Craigslist scammers responded to car for sale add.

    I've had the opposite experience. Craigslist has been good to me in recent years as scammers seem to have mostly moved on to the more popular Marketplace. Oddly though, I used to have people dicker on prices on Craigslist, but most sales in the last few years just show up with cash and don't...

    Gas question

    We've got 90-octane ethanol-free juice around here for ~10 cents more than premium and it goes in all the small engines with Sta-Bil, and I rarely don't drain fuel after use, with no issues thus far, though everything is stored in a humidity-controlled environment. I also run the same...

    B2301 stalls when backing up a hill

    When I'm backing up steep hills, I have a tendency of shifting my weight forward a bit to keep from sliding off the seat, often triggering the seat sensor which will shut the engine down. I have to make a constant effort to keep my butt planted firmly. Any chance it's something simple like that?

    SSQA for BX Series (BX2370 Skid Steer Quick Attach)

    Everything bolt up properly? Pictures? I've wondered if this was a direct swap for some time, just haven't had the chance to measure the 70 series and 80 series to compare.

    Turned it one time too many.

    Most truthful thing I've read on the internet in a long time... I rigged up a battery connection on my truck to test out a few things. 11+ years later, it's still there, doing its job, untouched...

    This won't end well, but it definitely made me laugh. https://news.kraftheinzcompany.com/press-releases-details/2025/For-the-First-Time-in-133-Years-Maxwell-House-Rebrands-as-Maxwell-Apartment/default.aspx
