Well, I'm not the only one that felt that way ^^^

They posted on FB about "do you think it will hold?" on those welded spindles, especially with the trailer tires.

I was thinking the same thing when he started, how well is that going to hold up knowing how hard his stuff gets used at times

I did laugh when they started to do the 2nd side and he said this will come off easier than the 1st and then he discovered it had been welded in place and couldn't come apart... lol

That was pretty funny... I chuckled pretty good at that one.

I really need to make it down to one of the events/shows that they do this year. It will be a nice little vacay.

My sister tested positive. She lives with my parents... so we'll see. They are both fully vaccinated, and my sister only got the first two. So now both of my sisters have had it.

Be careful with the pressure bleeder. I have one and used on a car with the proper cap on the master cylinder, no problem. I used it on another car that they don't make a cap for. I used the universal adapter for that one. I was very careful to make sure I lined everything up and tightened it properly following all instructions. Well it shot brake fluid all over everything under the hood anyway. Of course brake fluid is corrosive so immediate, extensive, thorough cleanup had to be done immediately and it was a serious PITA. Bottom line, don't trust the universal adapter and check the MC regularly or have someone watch it just to be safe.

That is easily the best sci-fi show made in the last 10 years in my book.

Good to know.... I saw that kit. Luckily, I bought the Ford specific cap for it. I think it might even fit my Toyota. After driving it around a bit, I think I still have a little air in the brakes on Frankie, so I'll be able to test it out on Frankie.


This was the dashcam video from the other night.

It might be about time for a wash. Lol

I want one of those SO bad! I've wanted to get one of those and 4.0 (OHV) swap it for a long time. Looks like yours is an 89ish - so a 2.9?
