    Need tires...losing my mind

    I've been running Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires in factory Pro4X sizing for a couple years and have been pleased with them. So far, they are wearing well (rotate every 7000 miles) , handle very well in wet weather, tackle Georgia mud just fine and are fairly quiet for an aggressive all terrain...

    Tire Size

    ^^^^^^ Correct. As a side note, the tires on my Xterra S 4x4 were upgraded to the 265-75-16 which is factory on the Pro4X. My speedometer was tested to be accurate by checking with a GPS.

    Discuss Rise Of Skywalker: Here There Be Spoilers

    Are they still making Star Wars movies? Like most kids in the 80's, I eagerly followed the Star Wars movies . However, with every new release the story seemed to fail. It seemed as if the movies took on a somewhat kinder, more political nature. Eventually, I stopped spending my cash trying to...

    Tool advice request

    Ratchet wrench test of todays major brands. Note, these tests exceeded the practical use of the wrenches tested. If I needed to torque an item over 200ft/lbs I would use a 1/2 drive wrench.

    Tool advice request

    There was a time in which names such as "Craftsman" reflected "Made in the USA" with a good warranty. Today, so many of our tools are made abroad that it's difficult to tell the good Asian tools from the bad.

    Go on YouTube and watch some HF vs videos. I've seen some tests which have the HF outperforming name brand choices. At other times the HF withstood more abuse than I would deliver. If your making a living turning wrenches daily, HF may not be your top choice. However, it's fine for the...

    I've used the HF impact wrench in the above link , and have been pleased with it. As a matter of fact, it paid for itself after the first use. If it broke today, I would feel it was money well spent and I would buy another one tomorrow.

    Xterra sat parked for ~11 months

    Fill it up and drive it. Dont try to fix a problem which is not present. If you wish to use a fuel injector cleaner Chevron Techron fuel injector is probably the best in my opinion. However, a test I read has the STP concentrate being tested as a better product than several which cost much more.
