Buy Kleen Wheels 165 Dust Shield

2012-01-27T15:07:00.001-08:00

All these are are just thin aluminum plates with slits in them for air to get through and holes for your lug nuts or wheel bolts. Of course they are going to be be very light weight and not intended for you to try to punch holes in them with a spike. You WANT to them to be light as putting them on adds to unsprung weight which is bad, so you want to add a little as possable. As for durable, I put a set on a 1992 LS400 in 1994 and they are still in perfect condition. That's after 15 years which include Michigan winters. I just put a set on a 2006 MB E320 today and they are the same material that I bought for the LS400 15 years ago. Granted, they are pricey for what you get, but these guys have a monopoly and their product does what it is supposed to do superbly well.

If you have a German car (or other car with aggressive brake pads) and want to have clean wheels, it's either buy these things, or you replace your pads and get something that works worse, but does not make much dust, or you clean your wheels every day...or you learn to love corrosive brake dust on your expensive wheels.

In my experience (1992 LS400 and 1992 Corvette LT1), they do NOT hinder brake performance in any way.Get more detail about Kleen Wheels 165 Dust Shield.

Purchase Putco 79491 Stainless Steel Mud Flaps

2012-01-25T15:07:00.001-08:00

I ordered these flaps for my 05 F-350 and wow they really looked sharp. installation was a bit tricky by myself, but I got through it and was happy in the end. The only thing I didn't like was how they were shipped, each flap only had one side of the chrome protected with plastic wrap, but most of what scratches had occured during shiping were towards the top of the flap, hidden up in the fender well.

Super nice, little pricy but makes for a unique look.Get more detail about Putco 79491 Stainless Steel Mud Flaps.

Shop For Kleen Wheels 2030 Dust Shield

2012-01-20T15:07:00.001-08:00

These shields work great to block dust from semi-metallic brake pads. Be sure to follow the installation instructions and figure out what you are doing before placing the shields. I installed a set myself originally with no problems. Recently, I had a brake job done and the shop removed the shields and pretty much tore them up! They did offer to replace them, so I ordered another set. I allowed them to install the replacement shields and they only placed one of four correctly. I suppose they weren't paying attention. They even commented they were hard to install since they were so thick(huh?). (So much for ASE qualified "technicians") As it turns out, if you use ceramic pads the dust is white and is hardly noticeable. So it's a good product, but maybe not necessary for some circumstances.

Shop For Husky Liners 57901 Custom Molded Black Thermoplastic Rear Mud Guard - Set of 2

2012-01-18T15:07:00.001-08:00

I searched and reviewed several befor purchasing these on the web. I ordered specific for my model and wanted them to match the factory ones on the front. Based on the title and picture they appeared to be exactly what I wanted; but when I received them they were 'custom formed' on the fender side - yet OPEN on the tire side. They did not match so I had to purchase a good quality set of rubber mats and glue them to the tire side to make them look a bunch better. Not sure what the manufacturer was thinking since the tire side would collect mud and snow on the exposed lip.Get more detail about Husky Liners 57901 Custom Molded Black Thermoplastic Rear Mud Guard - Set of 2.

Fix-A-Flat - Tire Inflator with Hose, 16 oz., Case of 6 (S420-6-C) Order Now

2012-01-06T15:07:00.001-08:00

This stuff is the absolute worst thing in the world you could do to a tire, especially one that's either flat or going flat. I've worked with tires for over 7 years and found so many people put this junk in their tire that has 3-inch gashes in the side, screws or broken bottle pieces in it, or ridden the thing flat for several miles. The crap is made from ammonia (however it's spelled) and simply doesn't work. You're basically pumping beer-foam in your tire, hoping (thinking) it'll close up any hole. But the truth is the junk just bubbles out and leaves a sticky mess everywhere. Then you take it to get fixed and it makes it such a hassle to clean out. Not that I'm supporting the dude who fixes the tire with this review, I just think the stuff is crap and would rather pump feces into the tire, or bubble gum, or oatmeal. Anything would be better than this stuff.

Bottom line: get yourself some good tools to change a spare and do that instead. This stuff is a waste of money and time.Get more detail about Fix-A-Flat - Tire Inflator with Hose, 16 oz., Case of 6 (S420-6-C).

Discount South Carolina Gamecocks Black Spare Tire Cover

2011-12-26T15:07:00.001-08:00

This spare tire cover has been on our Jeep Wrangler for about 6 months now - it is holding up well to the elements and definitely adds a more finished look to the vehicle. My only complaint about the cover (hence 4 out of 5 stars) is that the bungee cord used to tighten the cover up to the spare tire doesn't have hooks on the end. I ended up fabricating a clasping mechanism with some (not included) cable ties - works very well. The price is a bit more than it should be, but since the manufacturer has to pay NCAA licensing fees, it's somewhat understandable. Overall a nice addition to our Jeep.Get more detail about South Carolina Gamecocks Black Spare Tire Cover.

Cheap Slime 10009 Super Duty Tire Sealant 32 oz.

2011-12-23T15:07:00.001-08:00

TIRE SEALER SLIME 32oz. Was very hard to put in until I realized it had been outside in the cold. Put it in under hot water in the sink for 10 min and it was much easier to squeeze in. The combo cap/valve stem removal tool is a good idea.

One criticism -- bottles need a clear stripe down the side with ounce graduations. It's not an exact science, but you need to have an idea of the volume when filling a small tire from a big bottle.

Hint -- Calculator and table for volume needed will work with the dimensions that are part of the tire type stamped on the side of the tire. Useful if you forgot to grab a ruler before walking out to the barn, plus they are more accurate. For example, my rear tractor tires are type 9.50x22-12. The 1st # is width in inches, 2nd is overall dia., and 3rd is wheel sixe (you do not need that). Be sure to use inches or centimeters consistantly. The numbers on the tire are the max dimnsions so you'll be sure to get enough.

A month later and no leaks. Before I had one I had to pump up every time I used it and the rest every 2 - 3 weeks.Get more detail about Slime 10009 Super Duty Tire Sealant 32 oz..

Gauge seems to be of good quality. Works great for ATV tires.
I wish it had a quick connect end instead of the screw on type.
I'll have to try to find one to switch out, you can lose air unscrewing it if you aren't quick. That's the only knock on it that I have.Get more detail about VIAIR 90059 Tire Gauge with Hose 15 PSI, 2.5" Face.
