87MJTIM Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 I was checking CC on Friday and did not see new postings. I began to wonder if there was a web problem. Glad everyone is alive and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizzaman09 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I took was on vacation visiting a friend near Hershey, PA. Hit up Indian Echo cavern, the Carlisle import and performance nationals car show, and the Strasburg Railway. If your ever in the area, I highly recommend the shop tour at the Strasburg Railway. I'm also slowly amassing parts for the Comanche, projects coming soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxyjeep Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 CC is a great resource with a massive wealth of content, but people have a tendency to flock to Facebook. The algorithm shows interesting content easier and commenting is quicker/more seamless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJeepGuy Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I'm eagerly waiting for productive garage time to add to the build threads but at the breakout of summer there is soo much yard and house projects that I clash with responsibilities all the time lately. Here's my truggy puking trans fluid all over my driveway - why IDK 🤷♂️... Then there's this playset I'm trying to finish up to keep my kiddos occupied.

I keep them just for difficult to remove Phillips and my Honda motorcycles. Slightly different head profile on the driver thar doesn't "cam out" when over torqued makes a big difference when removing damaged fasteners.

Unfortunately, the previous owner really wore out the original M4 bolts so they needed replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got in a delivery for 4 bolts and 4nuts for my front suspension and it was $22 shipped. Sometimes ebay, etc has a quick link for a bag of 100 for cheap.

These bolt kits are fully tested, verified, and in many cases better than OE spec and ship next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
