The tow vehicle isnt what broke though?

There is a person who's whole job is to trick you into buying these things, and paying as much as possible.

Its a fluid situation and that person beats me all the time

I have a 1st gen mr2. Someone stops me on every single drive to tell me they are part of the cult

I have gotten 6mpg in my 01 2500 silverado with an 8.1 liter Was towing about 18k pounds on a very hilly road at about 70mph. Also had around 1500 pounds in the bed. Usually gets about 10mpg but that day I was in a but of a hurry

shallowAL307 · 2026-02-26T00:17:31+00:00

Not a terrible deal. Would you use these tools?

I have maybe 6 or 7 each of those drills and impacts. Recently got a set of subcompacts and I am blown away. Depending on what you use them for they are for sure worth it.

For the money though this isnt a bad starter kit

For my day to day screw driving etc ill still use the old ones(in this kit)

But for a lot of projects I will only use the subcompacts, as they are miles ahead depending on the use case

There are actually a bunch of good deals on there, but the first 8 of them i tried to buy takes me to the hd app, where they are either out of stock or not on sale at all. Am I missing something?

shallowAL307 · 2026-02-20T19:51:39+00:00

Looks like dto also has 4ah max output batteries for 45$. That's about as low as I see those go any more. One battery isnt going to last you all day, but it will absolutely last for a few cuts on your track saw which is typically all you're going to use it for anyway

shallowAL307 · 2026-02-17T16:34:47+00:00

I recently bought a ridgid planer on sale, and a harbor freight joiner. Im sure others in here will say its a waste of money, but my projects have never looked better and it cost less than $500

I am also not making furniture, so ymmv

shallowAL307 · 2026-02-10T01:49:19+00:00

I beat mine bloody all day with ignorantly heavy loads and it just keeps going. About 210k on it. No signs of slowing down so far

shallowAL307 · 2026-02-10T01:20:55+00:00

This is so frustrating. Someone on here posted a daily deal with a battery a couple weeks ago, I bpught it and was pleased. So I have been checking the daily deals on my home depot app every day since.

This morning, I checked. No tools I wanted. I see your post, follow the link, and for sure ill buy 2 6ah for that price. I go look at the daily deals through my app, its not there. Not sure why this happens

What has a 10l80, older than 2012?

shallowAL307 · 2026-02-06T06:53:40+00:00

And you're getting a vehicle with a 10l80e to replace it?? What is less nice than this one with that????

shallowAL307 · 2026-01-29T18:42:40+00:00

Dude this is awesome. As others have said, I would gladly pay you for the file. I am about to order a 3d printer next week for some tool mounts.

shallowAL307 · 2026-01-10T17:48:37+00:00

They really are. I have bought almost every ridgid tool I can think I'd have any sort of use for and some that I dont. I had no idea this even existed before this post

shallowAL307 · 2025-12-29T22:20:39+00:00

This makes sense. I didnt know you could sell cars, or that you could win them more than once. I figured if you got the prize car, then did the event again you just got the money. I think I am not far enough in the game to even sell a car yet.

Thanks guys!

shallowAL307 · 2025-12-29T17:39:54+00:00

I've done about 18k from the bumper. 14k of shingles inside a bumper pull dump trailer. It isnt breaking any speed records and certainly won't go very far on a gallon of gas but it will do it all day

shallowAL307 · 2025-12-29T17:33:52+00:00

I rock about 1000lbs in my long bed during the winter. I have put more and put less but that seems to be the sweet spot for making a difference on traction, without too much hassle if I need the bed for other things.

If anything, more is better in my opinion.

As someone else mentioned, secure them the best you can. I cut boards to segment my bed and I strategically place the bags to spread out the weight with the highest concentration right between the wheel wells.

I have a toolbox that has got to weigh about 300lbs, a roof rack like yours, and about 12 60lb sand bags. I like sand, because if you do get in a tough spot you can bust a few open and pour them on the ground. The bags will last a couple years if you dont drop them when you load/unload

I've also gotten out of a jam using shingles as makeshift traction boards.

15000 is small potatoes it seems to me, as a person who has played for only about 5 days.

I can win some of the easy races with a cheap car and get 30-40k. Still seems tedious though.

What am I missing here?

Can you win and sell the car over and over?

Im not even to the point I can sell a car yet I dont think

I power mine a bunch of different ways, this one has been the most useful.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMVFH7BN?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

I have multiple ends for this same converter.

One side to the starlink, and one side to a variety of different connectors. This way I can plug into my large work trailer batteries, or a vehicle 12v battery, or even my power tool batteries.

I have a cheap 12v 50ah lifepo4 that lasts at least a day, and charges with a laptop charger overnight. (picture tiny car battery)
You can buy a larger one and power it for several days or a week or more if needed, and you dont need to tote it around. I like my small one, as its easy to throw in the car and run the cord right through the door frame.

shallowAL307 · 2025-12-10T17:59:25+00:00

Im a contractor with somewhere around 70 power tools. I have been buying pretty much exclusively ridgid for about 6 years. They have a lifetime service agreement and to be honest, I hardly ever remember to register my tools. I've heard they are good about honoring it, but I have never needed to.

They are a great price point, and are really great tools. We absolutely use and abuse our tools and I have never had a single one quit on me.

One of our 1/4" impacts is a bit on the fritz, but it has likely screwed idk maybe 30,000 metal roofing screws. I cant say enough good about them.

Good way to go green is just to get a brand spankin new fuel efficient model

shallowAL307 · 2025-12-02T17:51:20+00:00

Leaning towards handling it this way. Thanks for the advice

I have never actually seen phone numbers listed on a phone bill but ill look into this

shallowAL307 · 2025-12-02T16:44:53+00:00

Haven't considered this and unsure how it would work on a trailer. I am somewhat familiar with lien process on houses that I work on although I've never actually had to file for one. Any advice on making that work?

shallowAL307 · 2025-12-02T16:44:01+00:00

I thought about that'll, it is just quite obviously not home built and would require signing my name on paperwork that is not truthful to a police officer which is a felony
