The Lair

You made me look at the calendar to make sure it wasn't 2/14. Dammit Jaime.

 

His name is not Matt it's Dave aka Simulated Weight only a couple people will get that reference

 

Wanna do mine next just need to make a bracket to hold batter tray under bed, build mini skid/shield, route cables, mount junction block for power leads.

 

Oh that’s all? Easy peezy lol

 

Added some hood pins and now she’s rock solid. Was a bit of a pita getting it all lined up but I’m glad it’s done.

 

See I knew you'd be glad to help.

 

You will love them

 

Cool deal on the battery term kit, guys. I’d love a cordless wire crimper. But of a price $1500 up.... not this guy. There is no way in hell I’d ever recoup the monies spent unless l started building kits for sale. Might be picking up a hydraulic one in the next few weeks myself. Have found a few that might fit the bill for under a buck fiddy.

 

Ask @ilubtimmyhos which crimper he has. I’ve borrowed it before and it worked great and I think it was only around $50.

 

Rite rite. I’ve found one with about 15 dies in it. From 00 (2/0) down to the smaller sizes. Also has 6 half sizes. I’ll shoot him a message if I can remember.

Thanks.

I have both of those. If you were to only get one, I would get the one from Harbor Freight. You can be kind of limited in hammer swinging range.

 

Awesome! Might have to stop by on the way home tonight and see if they stock one.

Thanks, Dave.

 

Tell that to thor.

 

Shoulda seen me trying to use that thing to crimp my OEM battery cables while they were still attached to the truck. The battery is not a good hammering surface.

 

This makes sense coming from the guy running potts with nerf bars.

 

Safety Raccoon says "oh dear..."

 

Safety racoon is moving into my garage.

Actually, I think safety racoon and my wife might be one and the same.

Edit: I don't think you could safely call those nerf bars. They were steps masquerading as sliders.

 

I wouldn't say that out loud if you knew what's good for you...

 

I do. I give her crap because when I met her I thought she was all brave and self-reliant and stuff. Then when we got married I find out she's a big wimp and asks me to do stuff all the time.
