    I had a Ryobi corded 4-1/2 angle grinder go up in flames while I was grinding some welds. But in it's defense they're probably not rated for that kind of work lol

    I doubt there will be any correlation. Which seals are we talking about here? Crank pulley seal? CV axle seal on diff side?

    You've either solved the problem or given them room to perch 5 more of their buddies. :rofl:

    Might be a dumb question...if you just fold your mirror in, wouldn't that make it harder for them to sit there?

    So. Many. Stickers.
    This is the way

    We used to use them on the concrete and road crews. Beat the tar out of them and they held up surprisingly well.

    Eh I'd lean more on Aisin having lower qc standards for both raw materials and finished products.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    Took the new kayak for its maiden voyage and damn if it wasn't another great day. Never in my life have I seen so many turtles, it was kind of unbelievable. Usually seeing one snapper is cool and today they were everywhere. Almost accidentally ran into some and all around me they were moving around. I suppose at this point I should change my username to LarryGeographic lol.
