    I have one!

    They're great for clean up, but this thicker stuff needs to be scraped first. 3M adhesive remover works a treat.

    Edit: I stand corrected, I haven't had a powerful drill before. The Milwaukee hammer drill I recently picked up chews through this stuff easily!

    Assuming you are using a heat gun? In days of old we used a heat gun and plastic spreader to get that shit off.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Even just a hair dryer will soften the glue.

    I was using heat and a plastic scraper to start...decent, but took forever. 3M adhesive remover worked well too.

    But, a rubber eraser wheel on a high speed drill is the best. Blasts through everything, though a bit messy.

    All this time spent in the mud and sand has the d.s. leaf pack creaking like an old man's knees.

    At work, for double sided tape, carpet tape and spray adhesive residue mineral spirits loosens it up and it's mild enough to not worry about damaging paint and most plastics.....though it may swell some types of rubber.

    Hey James @Thatbassguy, here's a bad financial move for you...
    20240615_114701.jpg

    No 29 of 200, too bad it's not for sale...

    That would be perfect for my kid's first car! Too bad it's not for sale...

    (Glad it's not for sale as it would be a VERY bad financial decision.)

    Have you tried peanut butter?

    Define "old." I feel like I'm on my way to a double knee replacement in the next 10 years. o_O

    I need one of those!

    Those are definitely cool. I just can't see myself spending more on a Corolla than I did on the 4Runner.

    I've been wanting to get something fun and nimble in a few years. The Nissan Z is top of the list. But, the GR86 is also very appealing to me. It just needs more power. But, they make turbo kits every day.



    A $45K, 300 HP Corolla does not sound like a good idea for a new driver to me. :notsure:

    This is the appropriate time to post this.

    Yeah, a very poor financial decision... I'll teach her on my modded and tuned Audi with manual trans instead. :rofl:
    Seriously though, I do want to get that car road worthy and insured again. I miss driving fast.

    Anybody else down in the southeast have power go out? Thought we were just getting rain, but it got nasty for a bit and power went out around 10:15.

    Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

    I ain't doing anything but watching bumper install videos today. Hoping to make a decision and purchase a rear bumper today. Then I'll grill a fat steak later. :proposetoast:
