    Mandrel exhaust shop

    Hooker used to sell mandrel bent kits in 2.25" and also 2.5". I believe Pypes and Flowtech maybe still sell kits as well?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Mandarin Orange carpet would have meant everything else in Mandarin Orange as well. Speaking of which, that was a really cool interior color, and a very rare sight too.

    Do 16” wheels fit K30 brakes?

    I'm surprised there's better selection of 16" than 17" tires over there. It's the opposite here. But yeah, 16's were the stock size for most.

    Deep drop bumper mounting spacers needed

    Yep, whatever the thickness needs to be (I'm guessing 3/8"), just get some 3" wide flat stock from a local farm or hardware store and make spacer plates.

    Mandrel exhaust shop

    I've never run across a single exhaust shop that does mandrel bends. Even back when custom exhaust shops were everywhere around here.

    I need a donut

    Do you have cast manifolds or the tubular stainless ones? I don't know if it makes a difference, but it might. The donuts you need, are they tapered on both sides or just one? Do you know the ID of the manifold outlets?

    Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering

    My lower hood has a couple cracks, but the top hood is extremely brittle. Where can I get one? No ma'am, the 147 Cub gets a 14 hp single cylinder (I've still got the original engine parts too) and the 127 Cub has a 12 hp single cylinder.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Today I was seeing what treasures were stashed in a parts car that I recently bought and discovered that I now own a billboard sign, lol. It was folded up neatly in the car, but I had just assumed it was a pool cover or bale stack tarp or something. I believe it's about 20 years old. My wife...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The left rear tire on the camo truck lost most of it's tread on friday: So yesterday I did some swapping with the rusty Suburban. The camo truck got the 36" radials and the Suburban got the 38's to hold it up off the ground for now. Now I need to save my pennies and hopefully buy a new...

    Trim codes 77B and 77I

    The dark maple was a red-ish maroon or burgundy color. The brown interior should be the one sometimes called mahogany. Your seat is aftermarket and has faded to a much brighter red color.

    Fix dragging doors. Shims

    I had the door open on my Suburban yesterday and remembered to take a picture of the shims. After years of dirt and debris, they blend right in, lol.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    It's unbelievable how crappy the Harbor Freight tap and die sets were/are. They were still peddling the same garbage as recently as 2.5 years ago. You could visibly see f#cked up threads and some kind of casting flash all in them. They literally were not even fit to cut threads in plastic. This...

    Jack for Spare 35’s

    I've been carrying the same bottle jack for years, with it often stored in the bed, exposed to the elements. Even the cheap bottle jacks are pretty darn reliable. No matter which type of jacking device you choose, there are going to be minor safety concerns that you need to be aware of...

    Fix dragging doors. Shims

    You shouldn't have to mess with the top bolts at all. Just loosen the bottom bolts, lift up on the door a bit and slide the shims in. Really the only thing you need to watch out for is not to change the in-out adjustment at the bottom of the door when you have the bolts loose.
