    This and that...
    I still fluid film mine. When I put the lift in I had to cut the old one out due to the hardware. But I hear that’s kinda normal. Alignment bolts were seized too. All better now.

    Mendocino is on the coast hard to get to but 15 miles south and 20 miles north gas was 6 bucks a gallon and less. These bastards always take advantage. There was no one at the station just money making pumps.

    That's a great first attempt. Are you going back to make improvements?

    I would suggest at least two bracing bars across the width of it would pull the surface of the mesh more uniformly. You could even do something hinky and use a fiberglass landscaping rod, just attaching it using two cable or rod braces, one at each end of the span.

    Thanks for the ideas! Yes I plan on trying to perfect it a bit. I have to pull it again anyways cause I d.i.yed some brackets for a couple leds.. bent them with wrenches( didn't have a vice handy) and they're not straight so they have to be fixed too

    Installed a Kenwood Excelon DPX794BH stereo in my 07 this past weekend. Nice to finally be able to connect my phone via bluetooth to listen to all the music I have on it. Wanted a deck with a CD player and this one fit the bill. IMG-1408.jpg

    BAMF bumper is on with the Baja s8. Some of the bolts on my @Baja Designs squadrons are stripped so I'm not sure what to do about that. Loving the bumper though AA5B0981-3231-49FD-AF1F-B2BDA8DCE0B0.jpg7ED19D77-5B23-467B-BED9-18F2FCE77851.jpg4A7E3D49-DDF2-4203-AF31-B7194A1B6076.jpg

    Damn. My dad used to have a couple of gas stations. He would make pennies on the gallon. There were much larger profit margins on a bag of chips and everything else inside. This was back in the 90's and 00'.

    Hey Gruber1922,
    Is it just the bolts that you need or are the threads striped in the housing as well.
    Best,
