    Totaled but still alive! Frame 2.0, Fog lights anytime, Seatbelt reminder delete, Secondary air filter delete, LED bed lights, Running boards, 2017 Rims, Ultra gauge, Cup holder/consol/glove compartment lights, Interior LED conversion, Blue Sea aux. fuse panel, fuse panel mounting plate by Yotamac, ProEFX heated towing mirrors, LED engine bay lights, Redline Quicklift Elite hood struts, Wet Okole Heated Seat Covers,m, Rear bumper 2.0, Decal free visors, Washable cabin air filter, Overhead consol auto dimming override switch, BulletProof Fabricating Skid plate, 2lo module.
    Looks like a nice setup, but probably not practical for the average home owner. Not that I wouldn't like to have one.

    yeah! that is bitchin if you needed use it daily like the Oz does. If you don't know they do make a great kit for the average homeowner. I have had one for a few years and it's a great tool.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I use that one a lot also. Some advise, never use the drill bit with a high torque drill. I busted the tip off of two of them before I realized what was causing it.

    Ive got the single hole kreg jig. its come in extremely handy many many times since ive had it. I'd love to have a bunch more kreg stuff, but I just don't have the justification or funds for it.

    Yep, get the 5, not the 4. I took a 4 back and got the 5, far better. Very handy for things like screen frames etc. especially if you can't justify a biscuit setup.

    Beautiful work. How do you have those tied together? From underneath? It's a very clean look.

    I still haven't taken the leap to invest in this system, most everyone I know who has one seems to really like them. I guess I should put it on my wish list.

    I wanted one of those but knew I wouldn’t use it as much as I thought I would, so I sprang for this one. Figured if I did use it a lot I could justify upgrading down the road. Couple years later and I still have the basic and it suits my needs just fine. It’s a very handy tool to have, I must say.

    Maybe part of the Basic White handyMan starter kit!? :D

    I've got both. I like being able to screw the K4 down and the portability of the Jr. I've got one of these also.

    Most of the time what you have along with the giant clamp is all I use. That and I bought a box of 1000 screws.

    My GF is out of town today and my choices were to take my Camaro to a car show/chili cook off, or work on the bathroom. I like car shows to a point, but sitting around a parking lot from 9-3 on a Saturday didn’t sound good. Bathroom it is.

    I finished installing the waste pipe under the house then installed the toilet. It’s a smooth trap design with the water supply valve hidden behind it. Have to say it was a royal PIA to install, but now that it’s in it looks good. Much cleaner look and easier to keep clean. Now it’s time to relax, have a beer and watch some golf.

    Forgot to take a before picture... but I'm working on installing an attic ladder this weekend. Got the new opening framed, minus one more board to sister that short span. Got 4 sheets of osb put up in the attic for flooring after installing blocking between the joists.

    The opening was just 12"x24", now it is 25.5"x54"
