Yea , haven't needed those yet, or maybe I have at some point in the past lol. Vaguely recall I ran into that problem in a very old old house with **** and post wiring...yea old and outdated lol. The house had metal boxes that were recessed like that. Pretty sure I had to leave the receptacles and switches loose, then use metal plate covers to secure them. Half **** yes, but it wasn't worth digging into old 1" reinforced plaster walls to fix that problem. That house was a can of worms, could of used a bulldozer for that one lol.

Yea , I wasn't about mention that trick to white lol.

The extension were originally for people who put board up over old plaster walls to cover cracks or whatever. I don't think they were intended for another one of the treasures your contractor left you.

Accepted today that I can't put off putting new tires on my 76 Merc. I've done some online searches for what's available and the prices of the 14" tires sure are attractive compared to the truck tires. I almost feel like I'm getting away with something. "Almost."

I don't know if any of you guys are southern rock fans.... but this is a song and album that got very little recognition. This song is one my Father used to play all the time. The guitar work is brilliant. DJB was the lead singer of Molly Hatchet, and this is a side project that he did.

Damn... did you guys see the one Matt posted last night? That was some brutal terrain for a Tucson!

I'm telling you.... I keep watching these videos, and I'm kinda wanting to get me an XJ with a 4.0 now. I've always had a secret crush on them. My Buddy's was pretty bad azz with that stroker in it.

I seriously can't explain why I'm so hooked lol.

Can't believe he took it... or rather MADE IT that far. I laughed when Matt was like yeah buddy this is definitely the Jeep trail.


I'm kicking myself now cz my buddy just moved to AZ and sold his 98ish Cherokee 4wd I6 and NO rust. Should nabbed it up

Yeah... I wish I had my Buddy's old Jeep. He sold this thing for 12 grand though, so there was no way in hell I was paying that. It has 2 different paint jobs in these pics, but the same Jeep, LOL.

You may ask yourself.... "why did it get painted?". Because this below. He was very inexperienced, and just had the e-lockers installed. Recipe for disaster.

"05 Navi" was written in Sharpie on it, but I called the guy I bought it from to verify, and he said he's not 100%, because he has parts from 150s,250s, Navis, etc. So I'll investigate further. I'll try to get some pics up later, for reference.
