    Way more fucking room.

    Btw @jubei I'm just going to emphasize and say, this fucking mesh net is amazing.

    It's hot as balls out but since there's a slight breeze, the garage is cool as hell and all the bugs are still out.

    I'll need to invest in something heavier duty for the stick-on velcro. So far only one corner has come unstuck and I've been in and out tossing a ton of garbage in the big waste bin.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    See you just reasoned yourself into saying it made sense you paid a few thousand for something entirely stupid. All of that should have been covered and you know it.

    No doubt, but our healthcare system is a fucked up corporate for-profit mess, we were lucky in that scheme of things. As much as I'd love to see it overhauled in my lifetime I think it's highly unlikely

    Hell yeah! This is perfect, especially because the shop garage opening faces southeast so I get decent shade pretty early, but that means mosquitoes too.

    I’m curious how it stows when it’s not deployed. Does it just gather at the sides?

    I pulled it off.

    So apparently it's tool-less but that's bullshit.

    It's held up in any which way you decide by the use of these grommets -

    20220618_131743.jpg

    I went with some short wood screws and drilled them half-way in so I can just hook the net. You could really use hooks or whatever but I wanted something you can't see at all unless the door is open and you're underneath looking up.

    Door is closed so I got on a stool to look down behind the door -

    20220618_131836.jpg

    From here, you can't see them at all -

    20220618_132148.jpg

    Otherwise, closing the garage door would grab the magnets on the net due to the metal bracing on the door. Ask me how I know :anonymous:

    SO MANY incentives for the insurance companies and regulatory agencies to just keep fucking the masses. Not to mention the massive lobbying by the Insurance Industrial Complex keeping meaningful change via legislation or executive order from ever happening at all.

    As proud as I am to be an American and as much as I believe that there are few, if any, better places to live, we are far from perfect and seemingly more broken by the day :( But by all means, let’s keep arguing among ourselves about stupid bullshit that only serves to keep us all distracted from the stuff that affects every one of us regardless of our political stance. Turns out the Roman idea of bread and circuses for the mob was pretty spot on in hindsight :rolleyes:

    Badass turn out!

    Been meaning to reach out to King cause I couldn't find their LC shock lengths. That and their site itself had been down for the longest time.

    And of course, since I fucked with the lower clamp on the low pressure hose, it now leaks slightly more.

    I'll need to get a bucket for that, and work on it tomorrow. Too hot out right now.

    Thanks, I do have 1 issues the tire rub at full lock on the uppers. I have a set of these 1/4 inch spacers that came off a parts truck.
    I have never used any spacers like this. Are they ok to run?

    My works looking for welders if you think you can pass a test, read schematics and deal with the heat and bugs

    I'm 3G certified for MIG, and have passed on most my pieces (1F, 2F) for SMAW.

    Schematics we learned as well.

    But no, I'd rather be indoors!

    You don't want to try it?

    I bought those 1/4" ones years ago to try and help with rubbing, installed them and then when I went to put the wheels back on I realized the lugs were only grabbing a few threads on each stud. Felt sketchy AF so I took them off, probably depends on your wheel/lugs though
