If you have a set of Rhino Ramps that keep sliding on your garage floor every time you try and pull your car up on them, we have the cheap and easy fix. No more drilling holes in your concrete and placing rebar dowels in them to hold the ramps. No more long wooden 2x4's braced between your wall and ramps.Go to just about any hardware store or retail store and purchase drawer liner. It's the same stuff

I was going over my install pages when I ran across this old but goody installation. I learned first hand which gasoline hose was pressurized and which was not. I also learned that Febreze is a miracle worker.Click here to read!

I have added a Honda Ridgeline to the garage! Don't worry everyone, I am still a man but I was looking for a replacement for my Honda Pilot (there is no equal to a Pilot in that category) but I wanted a bed.

Count the stars in the sky and you can bet there are just as many ways documented to measure and set your pinion angle.

You can see the progress that has been made below. Not impressive after you realize we have been going on 13 months. Don't worry. We are on a kick to get this knocked out as soon as possible.

Therefore, this has to get done or else.Console removalDriveshaft removalExhaust rearrangementTorque
