Hey, gorilla welds can get the job done as well. You don't get better by NOT doing it!

My welder access is a MIG, can't say I've ever unhooked anything that wasn't directly in the way of where I was working. Only issues I know of were catching myself on fire on a couple occasions from spark throwback

I've noticed lately for me PB text for photo address[/img ]

It's more a 'metal bumper shaped marker light bracket' to begin with...

My "fab" stuff is more necessity or boredom, and access to whatever I want whenever I want at the family owned repair shop I am employed at. (So torches, plasma, 220 mig, lift, compressor/air tools... Etc etc). This thread ain't about me (or my neighbors ) though, I ramble, complain, and share some of my ways of being malicious other places around here!

I have aq welder, spare parts, and too many other projects to do first... send em all! If we buy a house with room my front yard will look like a wd21 graveyard!

Some rather die with dignity Just ship that rusty wd21 to me and buy yourself a nicer one, I promise I'll take care of it!

X2, thanks 5523. You beat me to it! Not tht I like being that guy who whines about it but sometimes searching will net you good results. The linked thread is pinned and quite usefull

I don't care who truely invented peanut butter Yes I hate a lot of people, yes I think it's an invasion of privacy (and agree with the FCC point), personally though, my phone conversations don't have anything worth listening to anyway besides one sided conversations I distance myself from or bein dispatched to a tow. If knowing where that illegally parked cobalt is at is THAT important to you, I'd be more than glad to tell you (I know, that ain't the point)

Not enough... There's never enough! (Sorry, I don't know how many are there stock on a r50 but as stated, when components wear out replace them with serviceable/grease-able ones )

Dam if I know, my Ross Europa III projects actually got stalled, I have to dig them back out and start tinkering with them again. Other prioritys first (we have 2 good working bikes so we can still ride), but I do want to get them together...

It's canada, they all know each other anyway!

You would have to pull the bumper cover off to see what was cut/made. Ask the person who posted?

Went back with a gallon of fresh fuel and ran him for 15 minutes to get sole juices flowing. I need spokes and brake cables!

The problem isn't the 3/8 ratchet was "different", it's that the it truely isn't 3/8, it's metric. This is more common than you can imagine and though just a ratchet will do the trick in most cases, it ain't the correct tool and will backfire sometimes. In the case of the OP, using the correct tool (which I'm sure a parts store would have had, harbor freight ain't the only place that sells tools) could have avoided this situation (again which is very common to see for me). Yes I've been known to rig something to work in a bind or make something into a single purpose tool that makes life a little easier but the correct tool can change your day. You don't use a crescent wrench on your oil drain plug, do you? (Not trying to sound like I'm scolding OP, people just jamming ratchets into drain plugs is just one of my many peeves... But I hate a lot of things so don't feel bad)

Trust me, hootus is well protected when bedliner comes out

I have one that's probably twice my age, only thing I ever use it for is removing screws on rotors/drums. Downside is all my 'good' old bits have broken and the modern made ones shatter after a couple hits and the couple good ones I have left when useable take the heads of the screws I'm trying to take off out so I just end up drilling anyway...

I don't use undercoat, in my experience it holds moisture. I use bedliner, it dried harder as well

Every customer we have that had one agreed that the best day of owning them was the day they were all traded in on Caravans (and besides one MKZ Lincoln and one H3 was 4 others that went caravan. Funny part is the dude who traded his on the H3 actually took the magnum down a couple dirt bike/quad trails but wouldn't even park the H3 in gravel)

Which side of PA, you one of those fancy eastbound tea suckers or one of us cool awesome western PA people?

I'm curious as to what you mean by frame number, your truck is a wd21 chassis code, wd21s all share a frame.

WhiteOwls STI key would e a reverse of that one

My torque wrench is set at 105 I believe. It's my general go to for wheel torque. I have a different torque wrench I use that always changes for things with oddly specific torque specs. Start them by hand, run them up with the gun (not hammer them on), lower so the tire is touching the ground but not complete weight... Just enough to hold the tire safety in place, torque wrench time.

Operator malfunction

Studs I get from carquest any time I need them, lugs I have a ton of spare factory chrome acorns laying everywhere (the trick is finding them) for WhiteOwl, the blazer I have a set of "White Knight" brand black dyed lugs that came with a lock for each wheel (I think pep boys) for the summer set and generic chromed for the winter set (image is everything!). I'm adament about my wheel torque and never had an issue
