    ^ I don't know how the hell they are able to find anything in the back of the truck. I helped the UPS guy get something out of the back a time or two and the boxes are usually in a big heap. :rolleyes:

    Yeah I've noticed that too. And they always run everywhere they go as well. Doesn't look like a fun job. I really don't think its the delivery guys that beat the packages up though, probably the flunkies at the sort facilities.

    They are really just for tagging my sidework. It's been picking up a bit lately and I thought it would be neat to mark it as mine.

    I would love to put one of these on a set of Frame end link brackets for somebody :D

    I have a buddy cutting some vinyls, I will send one your way to rock out on Daisy II

    Well I started knocking out some other issues with the truck last night. After two years of only having the "Hi" setting on my HVAC blower, I got the parts and performed the TSB for this issue. It involved replacing the blower motor resistor, and the wiring pigtail.

    Out with the old:

    In with the new (new style as well):

    Also since the fj case is going in, I finished the 4x4 selector switch "delete":
