Thankfully, only a few dollars. =)

Now I did use this style of "spanner" security machine bolt on my license plates (also called "snake eye drive").

Those are less likely to be in the toolkit of the bad guys - unlike the ”tamper-proof” drivers that can now be bought just about anywhere. ☹

It’s tough trying to stay one step ahead of the thieves. I’m lucky to have a garage and a topper to keep things away from them.

New power options for my Wolf Haus bed outlet.

One for my recently purchased Bluetti Power station, the other pigtail version for whatever I want I guess.

Thought I ordered the pigtail version with one of my previous orders, but I've seemingly misplaced it ?‍♂. While usually Bad for me, my lack of patience in this instance, is good for @WLFPIR8 ?.

Yes! More mouse habitats! And to go with our Rangers, I vote for hitec mice.

Is that a habitat locator attached to his back?

My xtrusion overland bed rack was delivered to work yesterday, the day after I returned from my planned camping/offroad trip for which it was ordered?... luckily the rain took care of the camping part so I'm not as irritated as I would have been otherwise lol.

Hoping I can get it installed with my Bakflip X4s tonneau in the next week or so. Even better would be getting to use it at least once before the weather gets too cold.

Anyone have a similar combination here? I'm wondering what anyone has used to fill any inevitable gaps created using the rack and tonneau together.

As I get deprogrammed from my AzScorpion brainwashing, and run out of things to buy for Soupie (and run low on payload from said purchases), I'm getting more and more fringe on what I buy for the Ranger.

It's a hard habit to break ... =(

Last week I picked up that Model T Ford wrench and it's a nifty desk toy and I love the history. But to balance out the old, I bought what is supposed to be a highly-rated crescent wrench. I already have a nice set of Crescent brand wrenches in Soupie's on-board-and-likely-to-never-be-used tool kit but I could use another for my garage tool cart. I have lots of old crescents but many are rusty and need some TLC - a good project when I retire in a few years.

So I found this one and thought it would scratch that monkey-on-my-back habit and I'm mixed about it. First, it's not US-made (made in s Spain, how odd is that?). And secondly, it's kind of short. But the jaws are a little less thick that other ones I have and that's what I needed to tighten up my Brody knob (post on that suicide knob).

Apart from being a gimmick, it has inches and centimeters lasered on. I guess I could use it in my tackle box to measure very small catches!

it has 10mm? quick delete this post and hoard!

the extra wide jaw has the downside of having the worm screw sticking way out. looking at this pic I thought it had casting cracks in it but they're just shiny spots from being rubbed on

the mature adult in me appreciates the "WIDEAZZ" reference! =D
and Code Blue grips? No way, wow, I'll be the envy of the forum!

final thoughts

Worth it, no.

But it's already had a use and that's plenty to scratch this buy-stuff-for-the-Ranger itch! =p

Maybe I'll toss it in the center console to keep that third 10mm wrench company!
