I imagine it'll be soon.

On another note I got a 12 foot sling rated at 23 thousand pounds in a straight pull and a clevis for looking at a friends headlight that wasn't working. Got it out, and everything started working. Best guess is the connections got a little loose, so a zip tie is being tried

We have 2 or 3 seagulls that run around, Pete, but my hatred of birds was won over just slightly by the desire to see Eric cry at my daily flock of fearless geese. No way my hatred could subside enough for more than one pic..

Speaking of fearless, I could literally walk out on the shore and start killing them with hammers. They don't give a damn about us anymore. They were waddling across the haul road once and the boss was driving down it. He emerged with about 3 geese under his tires and smears and feathers all over his hood/windshield where they tried to fly when they realized he wasn't stopping at the last second. :lol:

MY dad is a full time firefighter near Chicago. He was driving the engine to an accident with the ambulance following. Came up to some stopped traffic, so he took to the oncoming lane and kept going. The traffic had stopped for 6 geese crossing the road. My dad didn't. He gets a radio call from the ambulance. They were pulling over to clean the windshield off from the 3 decapitated geese my dad hit.

I think everyone here knows this, but man unit bearings suck! $124/wheel when it could be like $20/wheel.

Yeah unit bearings suck. That's why it's worth it to switch to locking hubs

The kits I'm seeing (granted that I'm only seeing Dynatrac kits) are $2000. I love the idea of true lock outs, but the money tree in the back yard got pruned pretty heavily this summer :lol:

Chevy and doge spindles are the same and Ford is smaller with different bolt pattern.

Yeah that's the prices I've seen too. I'd make some crack about money, but without my holiday pay I wouldn't have been able to cover my bills this month

You should have bought them a few years ago. You could just go ahead and double today's prices for nearly every and an model vehicle.
