So this is on the front of my 2006 Toyota sienna v6 FWD with about 240,000 miles. what would you recommend? Not an experienced mechanic here, just a brave person. Do I need to take it in? If so how much would it be? Took it apart to inspect the ball joints because there was some play in the front, and just strange noises. It also looks like the power steering arm (not sure the technical name) boot is gone as well.

I’m really clueless here so any help is appreciated!!!

Thank you all!

Kind of wanting to go fancy on the screwdrivers, so definitely getting PB Swiss and wiha, maybe some wera. Does this have most of what I would need for GA with a hand screwdriver? Couple torx, hex, flat and Phillips.

Thank you!

If you were buying a whole set, which one would you get, Icon or Tsunoda(TTC King)? I’m torn between the two.

Icon doesn’t have duckbills, but Tsunoda doesn’t have a pliers wrench.

I like the looks of the Icon, but they seem bulkier.

Tsunoda is cheaper, but Icon goes on sale often (yes I know I just missed it). Ex. The ones in the photos, the icon diagonal snips, $21.99 and the TTC King CN-175N snips $17.60.

I do like the red handles, and the warranty of the Icon.

The real deal breaker; Icon is rebranded snap-on designs made in Taiwan, TTC King is Tsunoda’s premium line made in, that’s right, Japan!

In case you were wondering, no I don’t have a knipex budget. Besides, may as well try something new. Let me know your opinions. Yes I know the Icons are “great pliers”, I just want to know which ones you would get if you didn’t already have them.

Thank you!

So, I am getting into an apprenticeship this month at a GA shop in Texas. It will just be the owner of the shop, me and a buddy. The owner is real flexible on schedule, so no weird stuff. Also I will probably only be working 2-3 days a week, getting off before 5:00pm.

So here’s the dilemma, I applied for a part time position at FedEx warehouse working evening shift (6:00-10:30 PM) package handler. Great pay for what I’m doing and a free gym membership;)

so can I do both, or is it a bad idea? I don’t necessarily “need” the money, just want to build a savings.

I do think I could pull it off, just want to get some opinions. Btw, I’m 18M still at home.

(Also thought if I got my foot in the door at FedEx it might help for an amt job in the future)

Any help is appreciated!

So I love the trophy truck look, and my truck is kind of, well, dull. So I was thinking I could throw on some sponsor stickers. I plan to get a roll bar and lights, maybe a bull bar.

So where should I put them? I want A lot, so definitely over the fenders, back of the bed, tailgate, and doors. Also probably a Nissan decal on the passenger side front of the hood instead of an emblem. So what do ya think? Good idea? Which sponsors? It’s a game, customize my truck however you want!! Make it look mean!

Thanks in advance for any input!

Also if you have any other semi inexpensive mod ideas;)
