Did you list your actual address in your CL ad?

proper crimps, and that means more than using a cheap crimper from the parts store.

If you feel,like you need to bring weapons to a transaction...maybe you shouldnt be there in the first place. Do you take a gun grocery shopping as well?

 

And this is where the thread takes a nose dive...

 

Too late....

 

If you are replacing your hangers I would assume you are “into” your truck. Learning electrical wiring is a simple task that everyone working on their own vehicle should learn at some point. If you get a soldering iron make sure to practice first to get a hang of it. I would like to try those butt connectors with the solder inside that melts with a heat gun. Solder melts. And shrinks the heat shrink tubing at the same time. Seems overkill to get 10 different wire color spools to me.

I’m debating how I want to install my BAMF hangers as well.

 

Generally, yes I do. Why don't you?

 

Why you doing business deals with people that you think might try to kill you?

 

This is just going to be a circular, and pretty pointless discussion, so I'll opt out.

 

As someone who grinded, drilled and pressed them out... burn them out.

Just be sure to protect your wiring.

Also, you and OP should be sure to repaint the frame in the areas that get heated.

 

Of course not, I receive several calls from potential buyers and was asked what area the the Jet Ski was located. I gave police the phone #s calls originated from, however never heard anything from them.

 

That may have been your clue, that something was afoot.

Edit: I've used CL a ton, without too much trouble, less a few flakes.

 

I don't know, nothing unusual about a potential buyer wanting to know what area an item they're interested in seeing is located.

 

Desperation apparently. I have never wanted to buy or sell anything so badly I was willing to risk a gunfight for it.

 

Sure, but you say something like "South Richmond"... not "Warwick Rd, in South Richmond"... seems like you gave too much info, if they found you.

Or more likely, someone drove by, saw the jetski and took advantage. Probably had nothing to do with CL.

 

Do people send you advance notice of these things? It would be helpful.

 

i thought you bowed out of this circular argument?

 

I think someone just wants an excuse to tote around a weapon.

 

Whatever, you use CL if you like, I won't.
I've bought/sold/collected classic sportscars for years and never had trouble selling anything via other methods, just tried CL that one time because I had never use it.
