Solid links? Yikes man...heavy as shit.

Just use good DOM tubing with a reasonable wall. You'll never break it.

Me? Installed a new e-fan today. Exciting.

I drove for the 2nd day with the Fuel light on.

I wanted to pay off my Credit Card entirely, so I did.
I use it monthly for my expenses and then pay it down, well I was finally able to pay it OFF! Even though I scheduled the payment for today, and they took the money from my bank account, it didn't apply to the card yet. So I'm BROKE!

Bastards!

Truck had to sit out today, the original battery finally took a dump, not terribly upset as I purchased the truck new in March of 03 and hadn't replaced it yet. Also my truck sat on the showroom floor for few weeks prior to my purchase so I'm sure it had the doors opend and the lights left on several times. Also since my dad works for a big auto parts company I get my parts discounted, retail on the new 80 month premium battery was $138.00, I paid just under 60 bucks.

Well I haven't touched her yet today, but I will. Got to get the OD unit bolted back onto the trans, then do more investigation work inside it, and the torque converter and look for damage. Then I think I'm gonna paint some more interior parts, and try to crank my tbars up higher.

Walked up to the shop and grapped the door panel pads for the ram so I can get them recovered. On my lunch break I'm going to go get some dyna-mat, and order the carpet and offroad lights.

One of my windows had a nasty long scratch on the tint. Took it in the tint shop that had put on my tint and they retinted the window for free!

You sure it's the tires and not the rims or valve stems?
