Hey now, that's getting personal! And how did you know I had refried beans last night?

I'm surprised YouTube even has clips of this movie available anymore in the current environment.

could you imagine if they tried to remake this film today :^(

I still need to Lamin-x the lights amber, but Innie or outty?

Jack the best argument I've heard for outside is additional rock/crack protection if you have that worry. Pro/con of outside I think is you'll have to re-do it more often whereas inside is a "one-and-done".

anyone else think its kinda sexy that Kristina actually uses the truck like a truck and cares about stuff like payload comparison! ?
Thank you, Mark! I take it as a compliment. Yes, technical numbers are important for me. Sometimes I need to calculate if and how I can deliver if the load has not good dimensions or is very heavy.

front-mount vacuum cleaner?

You always make cool stuff, but what's this? Air intake? flame thrower? (hoping for the latter)

I use Lamin-X amber more for the color tone (proper amber, not yellow) than protection, though the stuff is extremely thick. Been using their product for a while. My fog lights, fog bar, and ditch lights use the stuff.

Edit: I also plan to mold in a piece of ABS flat stock in the middle to completely make "raptor" disappear. Best I can do without having someone fiberglass over the entire thing. At least from a distance it looks like it probably says "Ranger" behind it all.

I am prototyping a piping system that will collect that forced induction and redirect it to the same opening on the grille shroud that the factory mouth intake uses.... short term...

Long term is a completely linked system to the intake with proper water shedding properties.

The piping with be completely hidden behind the grill bar, plenty of clearance back there. Will link both intakes into a single larger diameter pipe.

I call this guy "Commie" my co-pilot droid. He can't repair battle damage, but he helps me talk to other pilots.

Thanks to @OrangeStreak I have this on Soupie - vroom, vroom!

Now the engine cover mice have a new place to chill when it's parked.

3/8" drive, no sweat ...
