Asus WL-520gU DD-WRT Compatible WiFi Router w/ USB Print Server $29 after $10 MIR

http://slickdeals.net/forums/showpos...72&postcount=8

The best deal is to get the $19.99 Fry's branded 802.11g router and flash the D-link 802.11n firmware onto it.

It will also probably be running DD-WRT in a few weeks. Open-WRT Kamikaze is already working.

Now I just need a few N adapters for $10...

N adapters for a G AP?

I scored a USB N adapter for $8 shipped from the egg a couple weeks ago.

No, the firmware flash makes it a N router! Apparently the hardware is identical or nearly so, just a processor and a couple DSPs really.

Damn, $8 for USB N rocks.

Oh, that's pretty crazy to sell the hardware capable of N but not enable it. Guess it's got to the point where it doesn't actually cost more to produce N hardware or something.

Yah, I should have bought more than 1. I still haven't upgraded my network to N yet though. I really need to stop playing video games and do that. But it's almost like, because I got such cheap hardware, I'm not as motivated to use it. Hope nothing was DOA.

Anyone else looking for a great deal on a TomTom with advanced lane guidance and spoken street names? I just found one and ordered. Got it for $104.49 w/ free shipping and no tax. Super easy with Amazon checkout too.

Sweet deal on the aluminum jack!

I bought that jack once. Picked up one side of a 2800 pound car with it, one time. Never worked again... Not even worth the $60, but I'm picky...

I have it too. The first one started leaking the first time I used it but I think it's because I jacked it up to high. My previous jack would just stop raising but you could keep jacking it up without issue. This one seems to reach a hard stop and if you try to go any higher, it blows the seal. Fortunately it broke within the 90 day warranty so HF gave me a new one and with coupons that the cashier offered me, I added a 2 year extended warranty for free or something like that. I've used it to raise the car a few dozen times since and haven't had an issue, but I'm still cautious with it.

I've got the larger version of that HF jack. Been using it for about 7 years now IIRC, never had an issue. Then again, I installed the self-bleeder nut on day 1, which may prevent that seal blowout. Or perhaps the larger $120 (or whatever it cost) model might just be a lot better. A bunch of people I know have complaints about that cheaper one that's periodically on sale.

I've had 3 of these since 2002. Don't remember what happened to the 1st one, the 2nd one was used to attempt to move a car that lost its wheel off the autox course, and broke, and the 3rd one has been fine -- especially since Dean showed me that you have to replenish the jack oil reservoir occasionally :lol:.

I have had that jack for probably 5 years. It has always worked well for me. I just recently jacked up the entire side of my car after I saw Cory do it(instead of corner by corner) and the jack didn't really like that too much.

My buddy's been through a few of the $60 HF jacks - keeps blowing them jacking up with his 1300 lb race bug. I have an aluminum jack from Costco, things a frickin monster. Light and solid. Lifted up the front of my pop's dodge with ease. just sayin, for $120 you can get a more solid aluminum jack that the HF premium model.

That's how I always rotate directional tires...which all 3 sets I own are.

I miss the jack that I got as a package with creeper+rolling stool deal from Summit Racing. I don't remember for sure, but it was a great deal...definitely under $100. It was the one I had before the HF one that you could keep jacking forever and it wouldn't blow a seal. Alas, somebody ganked it from my garage.

I have the slightly larger version that goes on sale often for $120 or so that has lasted 10 years of track events and garage work. Just clean it, top off the oil and air bleed now and again. You should never push any jack all the way to the end of the throw. Yes, they have a bypasses, but that doesn't mean you won't hurt the seals. It is just like cranking your steering all the way to lock and holding it against the stop. Not good for any of the power steering components really.

I regularly jack up one end of my cars or the other and sides occasionally with it. Jack up the front and put jack stands at front side jack points and then jack the rear diff and all 4 are off so you can diagonal or whatever rotate you want.

It will even lift the front of my F-150 with only a little strain and changed tires on my enclosed trailer with a car in it!

Since this has turned into Señor Cheap Bastard and other's Deal-O-Rama of the day thread, I thought I'd throw this in...

Sam's Club has a free Guest membership with no up-charge until 1/25. If you sign up for a membership, you get a $10 or $25(plus) gift cards and a coupon for free cookies and muffins. Stop by the membership counter to get your card and get it back from the cashier. they are used to keeping them as they are usually 1 day cards.

Memberships are Individual=$40, Business=$35, "Plus"=$100
Plus gets you a bunch of stuff I haven't gone through yet but will and I think up to 2% back.

All let you buy gas for $.05/gal cheaper than the masses. That is the same as the Costco price as of today.

I did some comparison shopping vs. Costco today, well because I had nothing better to do. Kind of interesting actually. Was thinking about going into Walmart as well but didn't.

No critiques of what I choose. And no, i won't tell you who has the better deal on ensure or depends cause I don't know or need to. :P

Sam's/Costco
Bold = better deal

Cheap Car battery group 58: 57.82 / 53.99 (sorry, forgot what group Subarus are...)

And they both suck at anything that goes on sale at grocery stores like Soda, meats, produce, poultry, etc...

Sam's Club thin crust take and bake is pretty damn good. Less than 1/2 the crust bulk of Costco which improved its value so winner depends on what you like.

Who's better for booze?

IIRC Iphone/smart phone cases are buy 1 get 1 at the Office Depot. I am probably going to go in there and get one but I don't think my wife will want one so if anyone needs a case let me know and we can go in on it together. I will swing by today and post exactly what phone cases they have. I do know they have speck cases for iphones for $26 so it would be $13 a piece which is like ebay pricing without the shipping and waiting.

Bosch Distance Plus High-Performance Oil Filters $3.50 or $2.98 AR
 

This thread is for good deals on car stuff. I will start it out with a great deal on:

Bosch Distance Plus High-Performance Oil Filter: $3.50 After rebates each when you buy 4 OR $2.98 if you go through EBATES.COM oh, and Free next day shipping.

His best quote is "Lower the price of the D+ to about $8 - $9 and I will buy them by the case." At $3 her must buy them bu the truck load!

Enjoy

I saw that. I hate rebates though. I buy the large "bugeye specific" (actually best for any WRX with heat wrapped/coated headers [cuz they're big]) PL14460 Purolator Pure One for $4.24 each (no tax or shipping) by buying in bulk and using one of the always-around coupon codes at advanceauto.com. Does Bosch have an equivelent "large" filter for our cars? You know, the size that was used originally before Subaru realized that the headers were putting heat into them?

I know rebates suck.

PL14610 is the taller Purolator I have been using.

I think the Bosch equivalent is the D3323

The Bosch D3300 is the same as the Purolator PL14460

They killed/fixed the free shipping, so this deal is now effectively dead. :(

Yeah, I was about to jump all over that until I started reading about sending in a rebate yadda yadda yadda. That's when I knew it was effectively dead.

3M Headlight restoration kit $10 Free shipping w prime
http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/5969...oration-system

Pickup some PIAA wipers and you'll get free shipping even without Prime. It's after $5 MIR though.

MIRs can DIAF.

Especially ones less than $20.

Costco has Goodyear Assurance wipers for $8 per blade but with an instant coupon for buy one get one. I got a set of wipers to replace my skipping ones for $8!

Whether they're good or bad compared to others, they're certainly better and more quiet than the rain-x blades that I had on before that.

^I will have to check them out. Are these inserts?

They are the one piece beam style blades, similar to the Bosch Icons or Anco Contours. I have them on the wife's car, they seem to work pretty good. For $8 a pair you can't really go wrong.

Anyone know if that impact driver would remove lug nuts? It says it's got 1170 in-lbs of torque. Is an inch pound a 1/12 of a foot pound?

If it is measured in in-lbs, I would avoid it.
