 I bought the kit from ECS Tuning.  You don't need to use their adapter after installation, but you can lift the car from the jack pads and then put the jack stands under the pinch welds.  Locating the Rear Jack Pads on Your VW AtlasThe rear jack pads on your Volkswagen Atlas are closer to the car's center. While a large plastic cover covers the driver’s side jack pad, the passe...

 Hey folks, gather 'round and let me tell you the tragic tale of my trusty 2005 Subaru Forester, a vehicle that’s been through thick and thin with me—and one that recently had an unfortunate run-in with a pothole the size of a kiddie pool. Yep, it was a real doozy, and my poor rim was the casualty. Let this be a lesson: no matter how tough your car is, those potholes out there are tough as na...

 So, there I was, minding my own business on a lazy Sunday afternoon, thinking I’d give my 2016 Dodge Challenger a little TLC. You know, the usual — wash, wax, and a couple of beers in between. But, like any good gearhead, I got distracted. One quick look at my wheels, and I thought, “You know what? It's time for a little upgrade.”  Now, before you ask, yes, I’ve been down the modding r...

 Hello, fellow Subaru Forester enthusiasts! Recently, I decided to upgrade the wheels on my 2011 Subaru Forester, and man-oh-man, it turned out to be quite a journey. What I thought would be a quick decision turned into a deep dive into design choices, wheel sizes, and just how big an impact a set of wheels can have on your ride. If you're considering new wheels for your Forester, or you just...

 Hey everyone! I’ve been meaning to share this little misadventure with you, especially if you’ve ever thought, “Hey, maybe I should change the bolt pattern on my car.” Spoiler alert: Think it through. Seriously.  The Dream of Bigger, Better Wheels  So there I was, cruising down the highway in my 2015 Toyota Corolla, feeling like the king of compact sedans. But deep down, someth...

 I've been dying to give my wheels some tender loving care for some time now. You know how it is, every other time you step back from your ride, and those poor wheels just seem like they have been through a season of "Survivor." Mud, brake dust, and what I can only assume is a mixture of tar and bad decisions caked all over them. So, with a free weekend and an undying love for my 2011 Subaru...

 In case anybody else was considering a Nudge Bar and/or Chrome Mirror Covers, I stumbled across a couple photos I took of my Outlook last fall for reference. (Photos from an Evo 4G LTE)

 Bought a Spare Tire Kit for $199 from KIA OEM Superstore (price included shipping). Good speedy delivery.

 When it comes to starting a project from scratch, it doesn’t get more blank than Eric’s 1957 Chevrolet Suburban. When Eric found the Suburban, it was just a shell—no engine, transmission, glass, or even a chassis.  The first thing he did was have a friend build a custom chassis out of heat-formed box tubing. On top of that solid foundation, he installed an air suspension and disc brake...

 Hey everybody,  I recently installed a starlight headliner in my Trailblazer. It was about a 20 hour job for me as a beginner who has never pulled a headliner before. I'll attach some pics I took during the job.

 I finally (well, it is only a few months old) debadged my '22. Sides only, just like I did with my '19. The rear emblems don't bother me much.  My 10 year old daughter joined me, asked her what she thought. She thinks there are too many back emblems in a small area, looks too busy. :)  It hit 99F, the letters come off pretty easily!

 OK, I couldn't take the clip-on racks any longer. I've permanently installed Yakima pads on my last several vehicles so it was only a matter of time before I put them on the Prius. I started with the clip-on racks, but I'm just never happy with those. Call me crazy - most folks love 'em! But then most folks don't try using the Landing Pad solution, so who ya going to believe? So let's g...

 I recently installed some protection film to my gear shifter, I had it cracked already and scratches, it was replaced under warranty, but it might be that they won't give me warranty anymore on that.  I am sure some guys do a better job than I did.

 It's coming on Summertime here in the Fort Stinking Hole Desert Indian Reservation and Cobalt Bomb Testing Range. Since I bought my 2016 back in November, I haven't felt compelled to do anything about throwing some tint on the windows until recently. But with the solar index now shooting up like mad, it was time to do something about cutting the heat load on the interior and protecting the u...
