We’ve always agreed in my talks with barbers: even today, Oster sticks to old-school traditions. They lag behind Wahl’s and Andis’ adjustable clippers, where cordless technology has become the norm. Their classic detachable blade clippers are a go-to for many professional barbers. They might seem intimidating with all the different skip tooth blades and sizes, […]
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Cherokee. The stock grille and headlights design. The cool, retro looks…We’re talking about a Jeep classic here. What’s not cool is having suspension problems. Unfortunately, that happens to everyone – especially if you’ve been hitting the offroad paths often. If your OEM shocks have died out, I […]
Living in Japan, one of my first plant tours was Honda’s automotive plant in Sayama. It’s one of their biggest domestic factories, where they manufacture the Accord and CR-V…among others, of course. I was able to witness how much love goes into producing every single vehicle. It was fantastic. Today I’ll be focusing on the […]
After talking about Bilstein and other brands, let me finally talk in-depth about the brand’s most popular shocks. That’s right, today it’s all about comparing the Bilstein 4600 and the beastly 5100 series! What’s any offroad experience without these two fellas? Once more I’m diving into the world of quality shocks – this time elaborating […]
If we’re talking suspension lift kits, Rough Country, BDS, and Zone are three names that you’ll hear a lot. That’s great – they all deserve it, as they fit three important niches in modded vehicle culture. You just have to keep in mind what each brand specializes in. Will Rough Country make sense for extreme off-road […]
Strap in, guys. We’re going on an LED journey where I’ll illuminate the dark and solve the good ol’ debate: JW Speaker vs Truck Lite headlights. Poetic intros aside, there really is a lot to say about both. This post is going to be thorough, so stock up on some patience. After all, these two […]
They say a car is like a best friend – always there for you when you need it, ready to take you on adventures, and never judging you for your mistakes. But just like your best friend, your car can sometimes let you down or need your help, too. Do you cringe at the thought […]
Sometimes you just want to bring on the heat. And you want to do so in a quality way. In the realm of welders ready for some fiery action, Hobart and Miller are two names that have always stood out. But how do you know which brand-name welder to choose? No need to worry, I’m […]
Are you tired of struggling with tight bolts and nuts? Do you find yourself constantly searching for the right tool to loosen or tighten them? Maybe it’s time to invest in a socket wrench set. But where to start when there are so many options available? How do you find the best socket wrench for […]
Gaskets are paramount to how your car performs. Dangerous leaks, the engine overheating, loss of acceleration and bad fuel economy…all these will happen when your gaskets malfunction. Which is why you want some solid replacements, not cheap knockoffs. Both Fel-Pro and Mahle fit the bill – but in different ways. 02/18/2024 07:02 am GMT Fel-Pro […]

As a car enthusiast, I’ve been asked countless times about these two shock series, and it’s time to put the rumors to rest. Today, we’ll explore the similarities and […]
If you are a car owner, you most probably have a jack in the back of your vehicle in case you need it. Unfortunately, most cars come equipped with a standard floor jack with just enough capacity to lift your vehicle to change a wheel. But is that standard car jack enough when you need […]
Some might insist that the price tag is the primary major difference between EBC and PowerStop brakes. I don’t really agree. Sure, PowerStop kits run cheaper, but we’re mainly talking about utility differences here. And honestly – about driving preferences too. But what are the specific qualities of these two brands of brakes, and which […]
I’ve written about various suspension brands, but somehow I never got to make a Gabriel vs. Monroe comparison. Well, the time has finally come to discuss their shocks and struts. Both are affordable, entry-level aftermarket brands. Does that mean they’re wrong? Not at all, but I’ll mention when other shocks like KYB make more sense. […]
