Nope. I hate that garbage. The cheap stuff never stays on, the expensive stuff never can be removed. And it looks like trash, imho. Lol.
Until you are standing tall in front of the D.O.T. man, then there can never be enough. cheap or otherwise. lol

I gotta have the upper hand. That high-rise manifold won't tolerate going lean for long.
Had that happen last year the whole end of both the large caps fell off was noticeable without a gauge you could feel it; it was that bad.

The whole bottom end is forged, and I never got on it, so no damage done but 11.5:1 with that big of a vacuum leak is never good.

Pointless day in the office, everyone is out, working on learning to create emblems for 3D printing, I've come up with a simple enough method for my pickle brain to refine and use.

I have totes of stuff, I have three pallet racks, full of totes of stuff lol.

At some point, have to start making choices, and if it's outside, it's gotta go. If I've tried to sell it more than 3 times, it's gotta go. If I can't give it away, it goes in the next load of scrap.

What's funny is, you literally can't make anyone happy lol. Half the people say my yard is a junk heap, call the county, blah blah blah. The other half ask why I don't keep everything forever :p
That’s why you need more property and a bigger shop! Jk

I’m a recovering hoarder. Both my parents grew up super poor—like bought scrapped buildings from an old military installation with a dirt floor to live in poor. That mentality was engrained in me pretty good too. Recently, I’ve learned to let stuff go.

Fortunately, I’ve had excellent luck selling stuff with minimal bs buyer interactions and no pressure from the county or neighbors, so I could take my time.

Locked in the front hubs this morning for my drive to the gas station. They are supposed to be locked in like 10 miles a month- rarely happens. Anyhoo, I heard weird rattling noises going over bumps and it dawned on me the front driveshaft is spinning and needs to be lengthened for the lift - something the PO elected to not do.

That led to greasing the shaft tonight followed by a spin around the block with locked hubs and then another greasing.

Someday I will get that driveshaft fixed ...

I need to pull the hubs on mine after a shop replaced the u-joints. Don't think they torqued it correctly.
