    @tacobell007 I think I messed up ordering my bushing. Never got an email and it never showed up as a pending transaction. Probably got distracted, didn't really read, and didn't actually complete the order.

    I'll have to figure that out.

    Never thought I would be able to wash and seal my truck in mid December. Man, I want snow.

    This time I actually ordered it...I think I had "checkout as existing user" selected, then it obviously errored because I entered nothing and I didn't notice.

    So I expect I'll have it a day or two after you get yours.

    I may go pickup some stuff to make a more comprehensive set of tools to keep in the truck. I have super basic stuff right now (vice grips, few screwdrivers, small hammer, etc.), but I'd like to put together a bag with sockets, wrenches, etc. in it. Since they'd be used in an emergency situation and not regularly, HF quality is okay.

    I'm good on other stuff--jumper cables, chain, tow strap, bottle jack, etc...just lighter than I would like to be on the tools.

    The Pittsburgh stuff isn't all that bad for this type of thing. Lifetime warranty on most stuff.
    Did a little tool kit shopping a while back at the W.Springfield one.
    Not sure if you have seen this.
    Crom put it together and does update it.

    I have. I'll have to use it as a guide for the minimum to get. I'd like to have more than that so use isn't limited to the truck itself because realistically that's not what I'll need them for. It'd be helpful if someone is on the side of the road and I have what is necessary to take care of the issue, or if I'm working on something somewhere and can say "hey, I have that in the truck!" Thinking for $100 or so I can put together a solid set.

    My vice grips were helpful about a month ago. Lady in the grocery store parking lot just had her battery replaced. Her boyfriend did it and never tightened down the mount or cables, so over a couple days of it rattling around, it loosened up enough to not make contact. Vice grips were enough to tighten everything down.

    She was on a small road near our house and a van came round the corner pretty quick so she moved over and I guess there was a pretty sharp rock or something that just went through it. Must've been pretty sharp though. Those tires are pretty tough

    Whenever you get the tools, I'd be game for knocking them out at the same time.

    No hurry on my end, as it's gone almost a year as-is and doesn't usually make noise.
