    Alright, alright, you guys have convinced me.. But now the question is: Am I just a regular glue kind of guy? Or am I Professional level? Or... do I crack open a Monster and go Extreme with it?

    Nice :D I have a mirror to attach in mine too. Been dragging my feet on what adhesive to get/use. Curious to know if you are happy with the use of the stuff you got.

    To get my title situation figured out, I had to get an official appraisal as well. The truck was not in running condition and before I cleaned and painted anything.. Appraiser man looked it over for a bit and then asked me "So what do YOU think its worth?" and I said.. "Idk.. $2500-3000?" And he...

    Was concerned that my carb was being flooded out by an over-pressurized fuel pump, so I put an inline gauge on it right before the carb.. Got it running and idling, sitting right where it's supposed to be. Hmm.

    Interesting.. talked with the carb rebuilt place and they said they obviously will stand by their warranty if needed and we can ship it back and recheck - however, first and foremost they recommended I check fuel pressure coming from the pump to see if its maxed out and causing...

    Dangit.. I found a new fuel leak.. :( This time, I'm at a bit of a loss. It's coming through the choke mechanism on the side of the newly rebuilt Carb. :( I think I may call the rebuild company and ask them if they know how it could be happening. It's dripping right here and falling into the...

    Pro-Eagles are legit. Expensive.. but incredible. I've jacked up from the pumpkin in the back and rolled the entire truck sideways a number of times to pivot around my shop using it. :D They hold up so good. Originally designed to support the offroad race trucks out in the desert and stuff -...

    I was going to say the same thing.. I kept pushing my tank dropping off as well for as long as I could, then once I did it I was like.. c'mon, really? Why didnt I do this months ago? Easy. And yeah, floor jack "helper" for the win. Same for when you go to reinstall - set it back on the jack and...
