  1. They look like base model chevy steelies...being an r50 owner you will need to find out the backspacing and make sure they are not 15's (or whatever size won't fit your brakes if I remember correctly) in my experience, the police don't usually go for anything spectacular in their wheel choices, alot being the classic plastic cover over steel wheel w/o the plastic cover... I'd be willing to bet you can find them on rock auto under either one of those vehicles.
  2. They should expand to michigan ;) I can't find summer work, anyone who's hiring doesn't want to train for a month to have a 4 month employee....even temp summer employers (i.e. road commission)want people from april until november 1st...kinda stupid!
  3. I CC an AR-15....another benefit of being "big boned".... jk of course... Congrats! I'm hoping to buy myself a 92fs this summer
  4. Yeah, my walmarts used to carry em for like $50...but now none of them do..shoulda bought em when I had the chance!
  5. Feel free to send me a pair of those hellas while you're workin
  6. It does. It depends who does it, I've seen a few carfax's including "frame repair" that made no note of a crash on the report.
  7. I recommend a crew cab, short bed frontier, throw a topper on there for the majority of time, you can fit groceries/stuff in there, and when you want to utilize the full extent of the bed you can just the topper off
  8. Simple answer- Don't use the hi-lift Trying to lift from the center of either end will result in it getting the wheels off the ground, then the truck shifting to one side or the other, knocking it off the jack.. possibly injuring someone beneath it.. a VERY experienced wheeler that I had do some welds on the stronger parts of my bumper recommended an all-in-one bottle jack/jack stand. He said they are about $30 at tractor supply, go up to about 18-24 inches I think, and keep you safe...not making you have to carry two jacks. The nice thing to have a hilift for is the tugging capabilities, and if someone doesn't carry a jack with them and CAN use a hilift, you're prepared!
  9. Washed it up all nice, assessed the winter salt damage...gonna have to grind down nearly every metal surface on the truck and repaint it
  10. I think I've seen estimates go from 400 to 1000 depending on shops, IF they do it...and it will definitely go onto your carfax stuff...if that matters Private shop/person, probably less than 400 for a patch job, anyone's best guess for a full rect tube rebuild.. Remember, your not just paying for time/parts with this, your paying for skills and experience...so expect a fair bill
  11. This really pisses me off. Not only the situation, but how that officer conducted herself (outside of uniform mind you)
  12. -pat-pat-pat-pat- *burp* Who's a good master cylinder!!! That was a BIG burp!!
  13. a mishap with body spray has resulted in a 3" circular burn in my area rug :(

  14. Don't do it unless you have someone look at it, or do it yourself...although I haven't personally had experience doing this, I've had friends do this, as well as buy motorcycles off ebay, and either never get the vehicle, or have it be really f'ed up
  15. They were either filled with hydrogen, or there is something they're missing....I.E. an assassination attempt
  16. My point wasn't that it was/wasn't a noun, but that things adapt....run wasn't necessarily a noun when it was first introduced...so what you see as wrong today, could be accepted in the coming years..
  17. This happened to my truck years ago (when I was a short bugger) and I believe it had something to do with the neutral safety switch...because I think it doesn't let you remove key unless it is in park...mine happened right around the time my gear selector wouldn't move from park, after which you now don't have to depress the brake to change gears... It must be some sort of sensor, considering it goes away when you remove power
  18. people use it the same as they use the word "run" I'm going for a run I'm going to run My run went smoothly not to mention abbreviation on an online forum
  19. Actually, you'll probably end up having to pay more along the lines of $25 for shipping, as they are in canada. Not too long ago I shipped a shackle kit to canada via flat rate box, and it was around 20-30 total...and no customs fees which saved alot of $
  20. Kegs, guinness, corned beef n hash, and grits... Always a good way to start the day!
