Or use JB Customs at Lordco (I get 70% off that way which is the biggest discount they have on any of their accounts)

I tried the JB customs account today. It didn't show up on their database. Asked me for the account number. ??? :shock:

Aha, I've never actually told them I'm from JB Customs they always just put it down for me when they want to give me a big discount. It may be that the discount is too large for them to go based on the name alone and need the account number for verification!?

Fixed the cigarette lighter.

A) what a nightmare to get out if its screwed in tight. Had to use a plumbers tool to undo it:

Turns out its the link on the back, which I assume is fusable, well mine was, intentional or not, given the spacer is insulated I guess it is, got rid of that and it's all go!

Just ordered a tablet pc with satnav and fm transmitter built in, so I needed a power source back, just wont be able to use the cigarette lighter I guess, in case I melt the feeble wiring!

Here's the pc on order:

If it works, it will be, quite frankly, awesome!

I replaced my rear windows with a laminate/plywood replacement I made = Utility wagon. It's kind of weird now, you can hardly tell that they are not just windows until you realize you can't see through them.

Whoa! That looks like a No. Eight Robertson 1 1/4" sub-floor screw ~ and if I'm not mistaken that's a B flat/ A flat dis-chord that it's sitting on. Good thing you caught in time!

I was told that if the tire runs too long below 10psi, very bad things could happen

Absolutely. That's what happened to Marc Bolan. He was driven home in a car whose tyres were low on air, one or more de-beaded and the car slammed into a sycamore tree, killing Marc instantly.

Did some cutting and pounding in the front wheel wells - clearance issues now gone. Also finished my Mud-Flap project and put new center caps on. Project list almost complete, just have to give it a nice coat of wax and put a couple new decals on. Then I will be ready for my trip to Tofino on August 1. Productive, but exhausted.

After waxing use mineral spirits on the area your applying the decal, wash the spirit off a few seconds after with 50/50 water/isopropyl alcohol. Let dry then apply. Hit with. Wax after to protect your wax free paint (wax free from the cleaning) This is how decal companies prep their surfaces before applying decals to fleet trucks etc. They will stick reallllllly well. They won't stick very well just on wax.

Made an appearance at the MOD and scooped a great find for my e-brake lever
Billet aluminum and carbon fiber handle this one.
Perfect fit and took only 10 minutes to install.

Retail was set 500.00 OMG!!! :shock:

Actual paid 30.00 :-D
