Try this again. I need a new flaring tool for single and bubble flares but I won't use it enough to justify the cost of the better tools. Any suggestions on a good tool that reliably centers on tubing?

Good god. That’s not very far from me at all. I actually didn’t see it on the news or anything surprisingly.

Am I the only person who isn't a big fan of the KR red interior? I love the HD black, but for some reason I can't get the red to set well. Especially with blue trucks etc. It makes no real sense to have a red seat with blue exterior. JMO, of course. LOL

The KR interior is beautiful in black or dark graphite, not sure what they call it. Lariats , same way IMO. The lighter greys/ silver aren't bad. The others, lighter colors, I can't get use to.

I saw a few days ago, think there was a news team caught up in it. They ran to the top of the embankment for safety and started filming. They caught some of it as it was happening.

Edit, - It was an AccuWeather news team, - that footage can't be found now. Huh, they must of took it off for some reason. They filmed Semi's and cars plowing into the pack behind them. Anyway, they were the first on seen and in the mix.

Just dug it up in history, yea they took it down alright.

I used the Eastwood flaring tool and had pretty good success rate with my flares.

Not too expensive but definitely bumps you into a quality set. I bought it to do my Highboy brakes and don't foresee a use in the near future but just doing that one truck alone I was happy with spending the $50. The box store ones are .

I found a shell today to fit Red. It is fiberglass and all the windows are perfect. I offered him 200 and he said yes. Thiis is how Red should look less the grille guard. Yes or no? Of course this isn't him but this is very close.

I think it'll look good on red! Plus give you some dry storage with the snow.
