I do have this little guy. Maybe a foot long and made from heavy wall conduit. One end is for round ratchet handles, the other for rectangular. the bends allow me to rotate it in the tight confines of an engine bay to gain access I might not have otherwise if it was straight. For example: the rearmost bolt on the front upper control arm of a Liberty

has everyone said their fill? can I close this now?

but you SHOULD enter some car shows. Not the super fancy ones, just anything you can find that's local. People like to see the old american iron.

7 more posts and the classifieds will open up to you.

yup. I changed the structure of the sentence and forgot to change the number too.

nice! your homework is to copy/paste into the DIY forum

rumor has it that there's already a #25 in someone's registry of street mjs

I just saying that the person you would be talking to IS just a person trying to do good in the world. Moving up the chain can indeed find you more nefarious individuals. I've got no doubt about that. And the nefariousness could simply be "I've found a cause to get behind that helps keep me in power". Those types of people are everywhere. at some point int he conversation I usually point out that it is literally impossible to remove all firearms from the country. and even if you could, people would still be killing each other. Greed, jealousy, envy, hatred are the roots of evil. the gun is just a tool they might use. oh, and my favorite stat is that 99.999999% of the guns in this country have never been involved in a mass or accidental shooting. (yes I know the number is off a bit but it's close) (edit: because math is apparently hard late at night)

doesn't much matter to me. I seriously doubt the "new" brackets will be any different than the old. the only time I had a chance to get them, the guy with me already called dibs on the entire assembly. fyi there's a rivet near the bottom you'll need to drill out.

that impact is guaranteed to break something. I've broken sockets, snapped bolts, rounded off nuts, snapped cheap 3/8s stuff, etc. I love it!

there's a good chance that the rust is under the frame cap.

I am assuming so. feel free to send me those inner door brackets so I can have a set for a manufacturer to copy some day.

I don't have the patience to dig through all the data, but all I want to know is: how many of the (non defensive) shootings were done by someone that was a legally carrying owner and how many would have been prevented by any of the recent laws Because if the goal of new laws is to prevent deaths, they need to prove the Law would actually do something. In my face-to-face discussions with anti-gun people I find a very common thread of "well, we need to try something" and that statement won't get you anywhere with an individual that believes this is a non negotiable right of being a US citizen. also, to the pro-2nd amendment guys, do keep in mind that the vast majority of anti-gun people are just moms and dads trying to make what they feel is a safer world. bringing Hitler or other Dictators into the discussion won't help you gain traction in changing their minds because they aren't Hitler and most people can't conceive of the US someday becoming 1930s Germany. They are just people trying to prevent another shooting. Ya gotta walk around that area, even if keeping the King of England out of your face was a main reason for the founders putting in the 2nd.

have you used it? does it pass the drop test?

that would be nice, but I already own the sockets. can't afford to start from scratch.

I'm open to whatever. Need something that can be thrown into the tool bag and not lose the sockets, but also allows me to remove one without a lot of swearing. I currently have a combination of store packaging, harbor freight, and a (I think) older Kobalt design.

that's a lot of money for rotted floors. also, I finally see a pic of the dash tag and it is... different.

what? In Michigan I just tell them what I paid for it. what is going on here?

the lift and the conversion can be done independently of each other. A reason for doing them separately would be spreading out the cost. A reason for doing them together would be duplication of work. You'll need to undo a lot of the same nuts/bolts for both projects.

probably needed a 3rd seat?

I have 3 different version of socket holders and I hate them all. Has anyone found a brand that they like?

probably won't work the way you think unfortunately. this debate comes up every time a city in south/east Michigan feels like the deer population needs to be culled because the accidents are sky high. There will always be a part of the population that feels hunting the deer is bad and they tend to be very vocal. They don't seem to be oblivious to the accidents, they just seem to blame the humans for them.

and that's why I sold my beloved Dakota to get my new MJ. She's not perfect, mind you, but that wear and tear dropped her down to my price range (as well as lets me rest easy after a few minor mods like the headrest). I would not have been able to afford a truck like her that was garage kept the whole time. well, we're getting into the nitty-gritty here and I'd say it depends on the industry definitions of the words. Does the owner have the paperwork on those mods?

I think so. There are so many beers coming out that it's hard to keep track of everything these days.
