...he's the reason I started getting people's phone numbers around here. (The fear of lost connections without a way to reconnect.) Without him I wouldn't have the connections I do with some really cool people! :fist bump: :captain:

I'm disappointed. I was hoping you were going to put an exhaust stack straight up behind the passenger rear seat sorta like this:

For whatever reason, the process of drilling the two holes ate up three batteries in about 10 minutes.

The flashing light pattern on your M18 battery -- Lights 1 & 3, and 2 & 4 -- is an overheat warning. Just give it sufficient time to cool down.

That is most likely to occur after long run times/consistent workloads (i.e., uninterrupted voltage drawdown), which is what seems to have occurred via your hole drilling project.

Pulled off a Facebook marketplace win today...

Got me a new spare tire, 37", already mounted on a wheel.

At a price that may shock you...

The Jeep is going to look good with 37s next spring!

Yeah you're reading that right, 12/32nd tread depth left on the tire...

Here's a bit of comparison for you...

Okay you all ready for this price?

Yep, I paid $50 cash for a $500 tire & wheel package! :handsinair:

I thought about that.

Even then, if it was stolen goods you could get a whole lot more for it then $50. Not like someone has a tracking device on it or something.

The tire has three or four old broken spider sacks between the treads, and a whole lot of dog hair all over it, so I'm guessing wherever they had at stored, it's been sitting around for a while. 🤷‍♂️
Ignorance is no excuse- see edit 😁

no dry rot, cracks ? It should be an acceptable spare. But it sure looks like you’re gonna need a lift to not rub. 💰

It does have a small patch that looks like a burn mark, but I'm not really sure.
That simply reinforces the possibility that it’s HOTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

So while I do trust these steel rings that came with my Christmas Nuts, I don't necessarily trust the world alone. These are meant to hang from your front door, not from a d-ring shackle going 70 mph down the highway.

I figured putting a wire crimp on there would help reinforce the weld to the point where at least I would trust it not to come apart at some point in the next 3 months.

So here's the slightly modified crimps...

And here's the completed project...

Complete with a now green d-ring shackle...

You've got the biggest balls of them all!
