    I almost never need to go there unless I’m buying something obscure .. I’ve got almost any tool I’ll ever need. And consumables are supplied by work.

    Yeah that's the one they put in their monthly catalogues and that's always available online... The one with all the restrictions.

    When the good one comes out once or twice a year that's when the store has a line going out into the parking lot lol. At least out here

    Fixed a bad seal on my tail light and replaced the old grommet things with expansion nuts, new screws and rubber washers from Ace hardware. The only screen spline I could find seemed hard and had ridges so I used caulk tape as it’s removable and I can pop the lens off if need be. Part numbers shown in pics

    I couldn't figure out a way to weld molle webbing... Modular is in, don't you guys know!?
    What Im shooting for is a stripped down swing out for day to day use that will accept a bike rack in the middle. Down the road Ill be able to add a spare tire mount, game rack, kitchen setup for the two outer holes. And of course an actual hitch to pull with.

    Worked on getting the Dakars in today. Drivers side front spring eye bolt is seized. Ordered a new set from Wheelers along with some axle relocation plates. Currently on jackstands/jacks while I wait fo the stuff to arrive hopefully mid week.

    Can't wait until I have a garage and can just shut the door and leave all my tools out
