    I emailed the seller and they said they will be back on stock later this month (hopefully).

    How to clean engine bay:
    Engine must be cool.
    Wet the area lightly.
    Apply purple power or simple green.
    Let sit for a bit (don't let it dry), use a cloth or small brush to wipe off and/or scrub big areas.
    Rinse.
    Start engine, let run for 2-5 minutes.
    Shut off engine.
    Apply armor all tire foam, liberally.
    Once most of it has dried, wipe off excess areas.

    Repeat once a year-ish.

    Really need to change my friggin ball joints. I got a Ryobi 1/2" impact gun so that should make the job loads easier. Just need to get off my butt and do it. Truck will be like new again after that, done lots of big maintenance things in the past 50k miles.

    Looks like photobucket has decided to alienate all of their users and break all of their hosting links. Cool.

    Yeah fuck photobucket. So many build threads are jacked. I was doing some research on t4r.org earlier and so many pics are now gone. So mad

    This is why I just upload photos directly to the site. The only problem is when threads get archived, they show up as "IMAGE 2725Q8" whereas a photobucket link can be copied and pasted (as long as the image is think there, of course).

    We now have a fix for Photobucket running on TW (and the other sites like 4runners.com, etc).

    Both of your threads are working properly now:

    I'm curious.. did he use some sort of fancy JavaScript? I know there's a site that takes "screenshots" of sites over time. Something like that?

    Since you're genuinely curious, we're doing it entirely on the server side. It's going through each post that has a Photobucket image embedded and the server downloads that image, attaches it to the post it was found in and changes the reference in the post to the attachment.

    Nice! You could probably sell that program for a pretty penny to other sites!

    So it's sort of like a web scraping program? Did you use python?
