I feel you on the take offs, my dad is getting on my case already about having too big a stash in the garage. It's just a headliner, front bumper valence, tail lights and all the boxes for the fog lights and what not. And then that leveling kit... Just gathering dust But it's going on in an estimated 2 weeks, as long as nothing else pops up. But I've been saying that for 5 months now

We're both happy though, he got some space back and I made $75, old wheels and tires are GONE! Between the side steps and wheels I've sold from the truck, it's like it only cost me (200-80-75=45) 45 dollars

Though they are metric they have worked on Honda's, Suzuki's, 442, Land Cruisers, F150, Lotus, Saturns, GMC, AMC, Chrysler and Bullitt. And numerous small engines in between. Only needed to add a few pieces & a torque wrench along the way, and never bought any sae. I splurged in the 80's and bought an air ratchet for taking the cam towers off the Lotus for changing shims/adjusting valves. Other than that its a pretty basic set and has done the job.
If those wrenches could talk, they could tell you a lot of bull **** (and teach some cuss words)! Those tools made the self taught mechanic I am today. I am not afraid!
Wish I had an air ratchet

congrats Gary.

And of course they run nowhere near Louisiana. Oh well, I'll be at cruising the coast in October for sure.

Looks sweet Gary, How many times have you hit your head getting into Seven?

I swear I've been trying to 'checkout' my order for a lawn mower for like 3 hours this afternoon. I can't make myself hit enter. I mean owning a lawn mower is in the top 10 things that I don't do - that are 'against my religion' - against my belief system - like get married again or belong to a church group again. A lawn mower is that bad to me! lol
But I have to do something. I dropped a few trees for a mountain view and a barn and who knew grass would grow - about a half acre grass and weeds. Been using a string trimmer for 5+ years now and its on its last legs. Besides it makes my bad arm go numb after about an hour. I want my pine needles/forest floor back!!! UGH!!

Time for a whisky. I need to get some nerve!!

I got one of these for the house.


Went to Tasca over the weekend to pick up 4 TPMS to make a TPMS bomb. I hate to break down the new rims just to install the correct sensors. They wanted $65 each and then they only had 3 in-stock and he wasn't sure if he could even find them... just picked up a set of 4 from AM for $150, including the bands and the reset tool.

I now have a little brother in law who needs the money. No more grass cutting for me. Someone out there needs your money more than you need a lawnmower.

Grew up on a Cadet. Worked great but I cut so much grass as a kid I made vows when I left St Louis.
