I don't know what it is about those early pre-Ranger B-series trucks that makes people love them despite being terrible, but... it's a thing, alright.

Advent Horizon posted:This thing? https://www.harborfreight.com/6-bit-impact-screwdriver-set-with-case-64812.html Yeah, that one. Works fine, mine is probably ten years old at this point. It's not a tool you'll use often but when you need it, it's the best thing out there. Might want to see if you can find one that comes with a JIS bit though.

sharkytm posted:That's not really even enough. Filter brands change their construction regularly. This, unfortunately. I still prefer the actual process of changing a spin-on filter instead of a replacable-element filter, but at least I can see that every ACDelco filter I buy for the Canyon looks exactly like the ones I've bought before.

Jiffy Lube isn't putting on those filters (K&N even makes a "pro series" without the nut for shops that want to put fancy filters on). Whole point of it is to give you, the person who cares about proper oil filter torques, an option other than a strap/cup wrench or crushing it with pliers.

Darchangel posted:Heck, I'd probably just put AN bulkhead and 90-degree fittings and adapt from there, personally, though the remaking and soldering in lines is also something I might do as well. Same. I know AN breaks the "no non-metric wrenches" rule but holy gently caress they are so much nicer to work with. If you standardize on one line size you shouldn't need more than two or three wrenches, total.

PBCrunch posted:Doesn't a drain plug also make things crazy easy for a fuel thief? Like that's stopped the thieves who just roll up with a drill and punch through a plastic gas tank. I'm 100% certain it went away because it costs more than no drain plug and the number of people who will ever have good reason to need a drain plug on their fuel tank is vanishingly small.

I don't have much trouble finding metric fasteners in general, but the problem for automotive poo poo sometimes is that just because it's a metric thread doesn't mean every other dimension of the bolt is the same standard as found at a hardware store. I've never seen JIS-spec metric heads at a regular hardware store so even if the thread, strength, and length are all the same, now it's a larger head than the other copies of that same bolt on the same part. Or you get arbitrary lengths where the factory bolt was M8x27mm but all you can find locally are 25mm and 30mm lengths, or the factory one is partially threaded and everything is full thread (or vice versa). Or you're Honda and you use a really unusual thread pitch for your control arm bolts.
