What magnets are you using to hold the liner? I put strong magnets on my filter but I don't think they're strong enough to hold the liner up.
How about rivet nuts?

Ohh, I also dropped my flashlight down on top of the transmission. And because it has a magnetic tail cap it's stuck there until it vibrates free... Guess I'll need to buy another light - and this is why I spend 50-100 from olight vs 200-300 for the nicer lights...
I'm a big fan of Olights. I have two that I've used for five years now - pretty much daily use for the dog outside.

I have a new one in the truck that I like a lot, it can be a flashlight and a lantern.

I do like the magnetic base and store the first two on the fridge near the back door. I like the magnetic charger for them.

I do wish there was something similar US-made - if you know any, let me know.

Good luck retrieving i, if at all possible.

Sadly I don't know of any American manufacturers who create reliable and inexpensive flashlights...

They all seem to be very proud that they have the most expensive products...

My dad had a flashlight that was made by Pelican some 30 years ago. Damn thing is near indestructible. Except the bulb, which is Xenon and cost about $25.

I rotated my tires on Lucille. That about killed this old guy. LOL Those suckers are heavy. Thank God I have all the air and tools to make it easier.

MXGOLF, You need one of these, makes changing tires so much easier on us old guys.

If @MXGOLF has trouble rolling tires, what makes you think pushing them on 4 small wheels would be easier?


LOL

ok, so back to this post - what rivnut install tool are you using? one from harbor freight? I feel like this would be a good tool to have in my arsenal - a rivet and rivnut installer.

To lift them onto the luggs
yeah, but it is more fun to picture @MXGOLF trying to carry the tires around the truck instead of rolling them . . .

I'm so close to buying one of these - the ability to hold it at the right height and turn it to line up the studs is what I want! =)

Yes, please! =D

what a bargain and it's US-made, only $1,462.50! =p

LOL, a tool would be nice but this works (not my hand):
