Are D44 ball joints any stronger than D30? (or TJ Rubi 44) My main hangup with that "upgrade" is that you're still stuck with what is IMO the same weak spot--the axle U-joints. You do have a stronger, less bendy housing, but that's about it in my eyes.

School bus? The short one is what I was thinking, but a big 'un might be fun too. :) https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/384897476554833/

@RockChucker will tell you to skip the 4Lxx and go to a 6L80. :)

The same coworker told me about his Dad teaching him as a kid--he would leave an empty chamber in the revolver. If you flinched when the hammer dropped on the empty one, you got swatted in the back of the head. :rofl:

Years ago, shooting with a co-worker and my wife---he had her shoot his .357 loaded with 38 special rounds. All except the last chamber, which had a .357 magnum. She thought she broke something. :D

The new track bar brackets definitely require the high steer knuckle, for exactly the same reason your high steer knuckle require the new track bar brackets. Drag link angle and track bar angle need to be pretty close to matching, or you get bump steer. If you added the track bar brackets...

If I remember right (and things could have certainly changed in the last 12 years...) the 4" kit does not come with the high steer knuckle, where the 5" does. That's why the 5" kit comes with the new (and very necessary, as you pointed out) brackets and track bar.

I don't care either way since I rarely shave, but this is good:

That kind of stuff irritates me. Your problems aren't my problem. Here was one of mine. No reply after I suggested he make me an offer. I guess he wanted me to donate them??

I bought one from IAAI, and IIRC I just wrote a check for it. Not all their auctions are available to the public though, so I had a friend who is a car dealer bid/buy for me. You should be aware there are auction fees and other BS that will add to your bid price.

I think you've been saying this every year or so, for the past 15 years. I think it would have WAY MORE than paid for itself with saved frustration and worry by now.

Is that the multi-process one? Nice!

I can't find the specs easily, but I bet there's a difference in duty cycle at least. And to enable his cheap-ness, I'd have to consider looking at the Harbor Freight Titanium MIG 170 for less $$, and the Vulcan MIGMax 215 for about the same $$ as the Home Depot version Lincoln. I have the...

^^Summary complete. You're talking about getting what is essentially my exact same welder, although mine is the 15-year-ago model. It's treated me just great.

Huh. I'm: Florida man accused of pouring gasoline on his girlfriend and setting her on fire That seems like an interesting costume. :rofl: :rofl:

You just need another cheater bar on the yoke holder, braced against the ground. :)

Your yoke holder, and a 6 ft. cheater on your breaker bar will do the job if you aren't wanting to spend the dollars.

There are test kits for combustion gases in the coolant, that might help diagnose a potential head gasket issue.

Does anyone have a recommendation (or a "stay away" warning) for tint places? I need to get my winders darkened, but don't want to do the legwork. :D
