NW WA Meet / BS Thread

We can get together for a mod day again and we'll each use our HF jackstands and see who dies first.


Cause harbor freight is the only company EVER to have a recall on a product they sell.

 

My money is on Bob anyone want to take JDAM?



or wait is this only deaths due strictly from the jacks?

 

@Usethe2nd here's your refund gap pics.


Passenger side of the bumper might be bent. Or the fender. But the frame is still straight.

 

Exactly. I’ve had the HF ones for years with no issue. Also, my jack stands aren’t the part number listed so I’m good b

 

i've got 2 sets of HFT jack stands. one is a newer set of 3 tons that i bought just to support the axle when i did the rear suspension. the others are a set of the gray 6 ton ones that are included in the recall. had those ones for just about a year. interestingly enough i've actually had way more issues with the newer 3 tons than with the 6 tons, despite having used the 6 tons way way more. the 3 tons only click in positively half the time and actually gave out when i was installing the AAL into my rear springs. good thing i did them one side at a time. i try and avoid using them if i can. will be taking the 6 tons back and asking for a new set if possible. figure why not? should i take the 3 tons back too and explain the issue?

 

same for me. I buy the expensive stuff when i'll notice a difference. ratchets? my main 3/8" drive is a Snap On. Wrenches? same deal, Snap on in Metric and an old Cornwell set in SAE. Sockets? as long as the set doesn't skip a size i don't care. etc. currently i have craftsman but i also used to have a tekton set. sold those to a buddy for cheap when i inherited the craftsman set from my grandpa... i perfer USA made. for jack-stands i haven't given much thought to it. i've always figured that it's tough to mess a jack-stand up so when i actually went to buy my own i just went with the HF stuff. who knows, if HF will give me my money back instead of offering a stupid store credit then maybe i'll go and buy the double pin ones from Amazon..

 

i agree with made in america/quality (german for my tools) if theres no buying of quality tools they will eventually cease to exist. cant have that.

 

My 6 ton HF jack stands are in the recall. I don't use them enough to justify needing to buy expensive ones, but maybe next time I'll go a step above HF. Thankfully they didn't fail on me

 

Did a little bit of exploring on mountain loop

 

Learn me

2006 Honda Civic LX coupe

65k

Asking 6700 would talk down to 5-5500 due to an accident on its history

 

Sohc vtec...


Vtec uses a shitload of oil, up to a quart between oil changes and considered to be "normal" as the vtec solenoid is oil pressure actuated.

 

Bit expensive even with talking down IMO. Paying the "low mileage" and dealer tax over buying private party. You can still find them with decent mileage (100k ish) and pretty clean for 3500-4500

They are good cars for what they are though. For a daily driver hard to beat. Aftermarket on the R series engines is pretty meh so long as you dont plan on doing anything aftermarket I'd go for one.

like Bob said the only real "issue" I can think of is them burning oil

 

i was planning on walking in with a check for 4750 and telling them that’s it, including taxes and licensing

 

FTFY

 

I just started doing a website and social media for a place in SoDo called PNW Auto Salon. Good dudes ive know for a few years.

 

I sold my 07 LX coupe with 130k miles for $4500. It was an excellent car as a daily and I miss the comfy bucket seats. The motor mounts were on a recall or tsb as were the brakes and airbags.

 

Yeah this too. I keep getting airbag recall notifications for my 01 and my 05 civics that I don't own anymore.

 

where in the mtn loop highway is that bridge and big ass tree? looks awesome

 

Nice man i will Probably head out there to explore thsi weekend as well.

 

FYI, the fishermen have been having trouble selling their catches to restaurants so they're selling direct to consumer for the first time. $3/lb full sushi grade Albacore at fisherman's terminal.
