DIY Toyota Tacoma Headlamp Changeout Process and Upgrade [Toyota Tacoma ...

This video shows you the simple process of replacing your headlamps on a Toyota Tacoma. I had just completed shining up the outer headlamp surfaces (see my video on this) with a 3M brand headlight restoration kit but wanted to further improve my night driving visibility. It had gotten so bad that we couldn't barely make out the white line on the side of the roads in certain areas that were not otherwise lit up. The new headlamps are "100%" brighter according to the packaging and cost around $50 at the local NAPA auto parts store. Between cleaning and polishing the outer surface of the headlights and changing out the bulbs, the night vision while driving has improved quite a bit. I was glad I went with the 100% brighter as they actually were not as bright as I thought before installing them. I didn't want to be the jerk out there whose headlights are so bright it appears that the high beams are on. This is not the case with these just in case you were wondering. The new headlamps come with a 3 year warranty as well so I keep the receipt and old headlamps (for backups) just in case I needed to cash in on that warranty. The steps for chaining this out are very easy and are as follows:

No tools necessary.....

Step 1: Open hood

Step 2: Remove electrical connector plug from back of head lamp (it pulls straight out by hand)

Step 3: Remove rubber boot

Step 4. Unlatch holding spring

Step 5: Pull lamp out and install new one

It's just that easy!!!!

DIY GateHouse Hinge Pin Door Stop Installation Tutorial Demonstration [G...

DIY GateHouse Hinge Pin Door Stop Installation Tutorial Demonstration [Gatehouse Hinge Pin Doorstop]. The first step is to buy a couple of these and then pop the hinge pin on the door. I used a small screwdriver and lightly tapped it out of place. I installed these individually one by one. Once the hinge pin is removed I pushed the door stop down over the hinge pin and tapped it back into place. Once installed the hinge pin doorstop can be adjusted to your desired setting to either open further or open less. In this case I needed to keep the door knob from hitting the glass closet doors and causing a huge destructive mess so it was mandatory I put these on. Super easy installation and quick too. The door stops are cheap compared to a hole in the wall or a busted closet door. Thank you for watching and please leave me a comment or two.

DIY Pallet Shoe Rack Organizer

This video provides Step by step instructions on how I made a DIY Pallet Shoe Rack that lasted for years for FREE!

After hand selecting which pallet I wanted to use I gathered up the necessary few tools I thought I would need. I didn't want the shoe rack to be too high so I but the pallet right in half with my hand saw. I also needed it to be limited to a certain width based on where I wanted to install it so I cut 1/3 of it off, widthwise with a skilsaw. Although I switched to a power tool here, you could do it all with a handsaw.

I then took my crowbar and hammer and removed the lower board. This gives me a top row for shoes and then a bottom row as well. I blew it all down with my air compressor to remove the saw dust.I then secured it to the wall with a couple of screws. Quick, easy, and free shoe rack organizer. You can paint it or have one of you kids paint it too for for an added custom touch.

Troy Bilt 4 cycle 30cc Weed Wacker Unboxing Assembly and Use

For years the old lawn edgers "weed wackers" would run really good when you first purchased them and then once you let them sit for various periods of time between lawn mowing sessions, it would be hell getting them started. I've seen more weed wackers tossed across lawns in my time than homelite chainsaws. The older ones had 2 cycle motors and if you didn't have exactly the correct oil/gas mixture the weed wacker would either not start, smoke the whole place up, or the motor would bog down. I have experienced all of this first hand being starting at a young age watching my father fight these evil little machines and then also myself as I grew up mowing lawns for extra money and then of course my own.

Not only was the motor an issue on the older weed wackers but the line feed mechanism on the working of the contraption often wreaked havoc on the operator's emotion. I would venture to say that no matter what kind of weed wacker you owned back in the day, you probably had both the line feeder mechanism and/or the motor apart on it (except maybe a Stihl) before the first year of ownership was up. The older models made it pretty tough to change out the line or even replace it if it got stuck up inside the feeder mechanism causing much frustration and chewing up your clock.

The frustration caused by the old weed wackers could make a preacher swear. Ok maybe not out loud but inside. I've called these things every name in the book and have probably set the distance record for yards thrown.

Not only were the old motors an issue on the older weed wackers but the line feed mechanism on the working end of the contraption often wreaked havoc on the operator's emotions. I would venture to say that no matter what kind of weed wacker you owned back in the day, you probably had both the line feeder mechanism and/or the motor taken apart on it (except maybe a Stihl) before the first year of ownership was up. The older models made it pretty tough to change out the line or even replace it if it got stuck up inside the feeder mechanism causing much frustration and chewing up your clock. There was no youtube or internet readily available at your fingertips, you either had to figure it out or toss it.

I can't count how many times that I would wake up the next day with a very sore and stiff upper back and then at first wonder what I did to it the day before. Then it dawns on me. Oh that's right, I tried starting that damn weed wacker by pulling on the pull starter 2000 times over the course of the day yesterday. Then it lingers for the next couple days just for good measure.

It is my opinion that Troy Bilt has gone above and beyond the call of duty with their latest models and helped out us lawn warriors.

Slime Brand Fix a Flat- Wheelbarrow Tire Repair

Slime brand tire sealant did the trick. No more pumping up the wheelbarrow tire every damn time you want to use it. It's available on amazon at the links above or at war mart and automotive stores.
Once you've followed the directions on the slime bottle be sure to rotate the tire around after filling it with air so as not to let the slime settle in one area of the tire. It's really quick and simple to use. Glad I did it. My only regret is waiting so long to use it.

DIY Wet Saw for Cutting Glass and Ceramic Tile

These wet tile saws are the way to go. Once I started using one I never wanted to go back. They are pretty easy to use as well and also very clean. This tool is money well spent as it makes your life a hell of a lot easier when it comes to doing tile jobs. This video demo is on a specific brand however I have used many different kinds of wet tile saws (many of which were borrowed from friends) and loved all of them, especially after cutting tiles manually.

Mikasa Historical War Memorial Ship in Yokosuka Japan

This tour was 600 yen to take and well worth it. It's a great activity and can easily take a couple hours especially if you stop and read much of the posted literature at many of the stations. It's like walking into a history book. They have done a very nice job of keeping this old Japanese warship up. Recommend taking this tour if in the area, you won't regret it.

How to Replace Dead Doorbell Batteries For Dummies

The batteries on this model of doorbell can be located by gently prying out the upper top little panel section. It's a small battery drawer-like slide piece that comes out. I used a flathead screwdriver. You can see that there is a test button on the front of the doorbell. As can be heard in the video, when the button is pushed before the battery change out, there is a barely audible sound. Once  the batteries are changed out it is obvious that the doorbell is functioning as it should when the test button is depressed again.

How to make a Pallet Wood Trash Can

This pallet wood trashcan project was super fun to make. The beauty of making pallet projects is that you can totally goof them up, which I have, and you aren't out of a bunch of money. It really puts the fun fun factor back into wood working and takes the pressure off. Not only are these great from a practical standpoint but they make really good gifts as well. Each one is guaranteed to turn out unique.
In order to properly obtain your raw materials you will need a simple set of tools for pulling the boards apart and extracting the nails. My favorite two tools to use is a hammer and a crow bar. I use a Cobalt brand one. Here's a link to the type of hammer and crow bar I use for this task.

I also used a brad nailer and compressor. This makes it nice you can "tack" your pieces together with one hand while holding them with the other. The drawback is that you need to make sure you are shooting your brad nails nice and straight so they don't go through your thumb and also so they don't protrude from the wood.
