    It's not warm outside of them. ;)

    I'll take paddling around in a kayak over ice fishing every time, and twice on Sunday.


    Vegas sounds interesting, but I think I would be broke in like 20 minutes. :rofl:


    Yeah, I can't wait to get down to Florida! I just hope the fire doesn't put the schedule too far behind.

    UCA's are back from the powder coaters! Semi-gloss black. Should look nice with the blue Total Chaos decals and the red bushings. Also the teal Dobisons springs... pictures once I get some assembly completed.

    Having never personally owned quality ratchets before...man, what a difference. Ko-ken 1/4 and 3/8.

    6 days in Vegas is a long time!
    Luckily for me I’m going with my wife and some of our neighbors. None of them gamble!
    :annoyed:

    I’m sure going to the casino at 2am won’t be a problem. I’ll just put a bunch of pillows under the blankets and head out. :rofl:




    I’m just there for the free drinks, a few buffets, a show, mob museum, Hoover Dam, and people watching on Fremont Street.

    Freemont street has a ton of street performers. Everything from getting a photo with Mr. T to kicking some guy in the stones .

    Plus we are entering a bowling tournament. It’s gonna be busy.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    Can confirm. After always using the junk ratchets that come in kits a nice ratchet is incredible.

    I love going to Freemont St. Can sit outside drinking for hours just people watching. Unfortunately there are some things that can't be unseen.

    Have a great trip!

    Any reason for the 0W-20? Unless I'm mistaken if you have the 4.0 it calls for 5W30 and if you're already running synthetic it should cover some pretty darn cold temps. Just trying to understand, not being critical.

    Hope everyone is having more fun than I am today...since I'm pretty much out of room to store any more of my tools I ponied up the cash for a 72" Husky toolbox. Finally I felt like an adult! And then fate kicked me square in the nuts as it rolled off the delivery truck looking like it got run over a few times first. Now I'm stuck waiting for them to pick it up and refund my money (they said they don't do replacements and I'd have to reorder which is super weird). On top of that, I desperately needed my garage space to do maintenance before the upcoming cold and snow we're about to get. Now the Taco has to wait and I still have no big boy toolbox.

    Bottom line if you order one of these maybe pick it up from the store, have a low trailer, and have some strong friends because it weighs like 600 lbs. Don't trust Home Depot's cut-rate delivery, they suck.

    So you swap the 2.7L 4 cylinder out for a 2.4 L? Strange...
