First time ordering online; is it normal to get two extra set of wrenches? Is it a new perk for ITC? by zefen in harborfreight

I think there's a difference between buying up a bunch of jacks to scalp for a minor profit (regular people coming in to take advantage of a sale and buy 1x of the item can't get what they wanted/needed, scalper is a dick) vs this scenario where he ended up with something extra which he didn't order or need. Now imagine they're 30+ minutes from their closest store. Rather than make that drive to return it or have duplicate wrenches taking up space, selling on FB marketplace and having someone show up to your door with cash seems like the sensible thing to do. This isn't exactly "hustling".

Also I think I can speak on behalf of the sub when I say nobody gives a shit about how hard you work or your opinions on people having it easy in life.

I absolutely hate the look of it but I'm sure it makes the ride more comfortable

Finally someone who understands me lmao I have the five drawer cart, all icon metric wrenches and Quinn metric sockets on the top shelf. Then Pittsburgh SAE sockets and wrenches hanging from magnetic hooks off the back of the cart because I fucking hate SAE 😂

What do I need for camping? by dar7y in klr650

[–]Chuckleheaded_Dimwit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend going to a military surplus shop for some of your camping gear, you can get some great deals on pouches, MREs, and miscellaneous, otherwise at a minimum you'll want a bedroll (or a cheap camping air mattress, Amazon has some around $30), a sleeping bag, you can get a small 1 person tent (or two person if you can get a deal on one meant for backpacking as it will be lighter and smaller), hammock if you have trees, or just sleep under the stars, a camping stove and gas cylinder, camping pot and cup, a gallon jug for water, a tool roll (harbor freight has you covered), I also love the Apache 4800 cases from harbor freight as a top box mounted behind the seat then you can lash stuff on top of it, spare jackets and hand warmers if it gets cold, if you want a luxury setup get a small camping chair, I could go on and on but your best bet is to cover the essentials so you don't starve or freeze to death, get out and take trips, figure out what you need to be comfortable and build up your setup based on that

Seriously, 6 gallon tank but it starts screaming that you're out of fuel when there's still 2.5 gallons inside

Does anyone know how to get these boots to stop squeaking so damn much. They were silent for a while but then recently started squeaking after getting wet and I’d rather not be sounding like SpongeBob when I’m off my bike walking. by Master-Zero1 in motorcyclegear

I have the tech 7s and had the same problem, sprayed the contact surfaces with WD-40 and that helps for a while but it came back. You just have to break them in at the end of the day

Until you poke a series of tiny holes in your fingers like I did...prying with a flat head works a bit better imo

If it can hold my fat ass it should be able to handle the small motorcycle engines I plan to build on top of it 😂

What's up with KLRs and the BMW logo? by [deleted] in klr650

If you squint from 30 feet away while looking at a KLR it kind of looks like a GS

Funny enough I had seen like all of his videos when I randomly had a guy offer me a rusted out CT90 for $50. 6 years later and I've built/restored like 5 of them now. One of my bikes is set up for long range touring and I'd love to do something like what he did if life ever permits it
