Great day. Was nice to meet you. Hopefully we can get together for another run soon.

Look forward to seeing you sir.

Looks like Deb and I are in.

I planned to pull the sway bar links off my SwayLoc and paint them black. I just didn’t like the look of the machine grey color. I started scuffing them for paint and I got inspired. Chucked them up in the drill press and started stripping them down. What ever they use to coat them …. Holy...

This is what I did

What he said…… It probably didn’t happen because of one incident, but more likely the effect of years of stress. Mine cracked (a little higher) and I ground out the crack and welded it up. No problems since. Also added a reinforcement strut that runs from the bracket to the inside of the frame...

Thanks, still trying to get used to the idea of not working.... Yeh, he is good guy. I like to tease him that he was still being potty trained when I went to work there.

I wanted to test the mid-arm, locker and sway-loc to see if everything was going to play well together. Most of my trail partners are running 40"+ tires, so again I was...

I haven't updated in awhile. It has been a busy couple weeks for me. I retired in December after 39 years at the dealership. Tying up loose ends, putting my replacement in place, setting up health insurance and a couple farewell celebrations have kept me busy. My general manager threw me a...

So you put stuff like this out in the universe and Santa finds out….. I believe….. A great big thank you! You know who you are! I guess I’m heading down the M18 rabbit hole now. Going to have to get another drawer.

Mine was a gift from my grandfather in the mid sixty's......
