    Now that is the perfect color combo. To me nothing looks worse than an all white cap on an all white truck. It looks like a powder puff on wheels but that grey sets it all off perfectly. I like it. :thumbsup:

    Right? I feel attacked.

    But at the same time... When I paint my truck blue, I want to leave the cap white.

    Now, now, nothing to be ashamed of (unless, of course, you drive around wearing a pink hat).

    I can't find the original quote, so I'm quoting y'all and SHOwing my 2 white SHOs with white wheels. Powder puffs indeed.

    I went with this one, just in case I need radio (in an area with no data, and no cached music on-hand), just to ensure I could get some reach. I've heard nothing but mixed/bad reviews about every stubby out there. It's a 24", which is 25% shorter than the stock 32" mast. Main goal was to stop dragging it on parking deck ceilings. Achieved that goal. It's also quite a bit beefier than the OEM.

    It's a Japanese made Kobe, which looks to be a knock off Juki? I think there are a bunch of Chinese knockoff of the same design. It sews 8 layers of vinyl like butter. I've been watching "Old School Auto Upholstery" (more of a "giter done" type and Cechaflo, he does insane work and has the patience of Job.. maybe works for the cartel, not sure.

    Replaced the original 50k 2002 lbj's today. Using a puller tool, they came off with a BANG- wasn't really expecting that based on the couple videos I saw.

    Decided to treat myself to a new jack from HF also. This was on sale $100 off. It's so nice!! 24" lift, long reach, and unlike my old jack doesn't instantly drop the truck when you start to lower it.

    Next up:
    -struts (5100?), maybe on 2nd or 3rd clip.
    -add a tow hitch
    -new stereo with carplay and backup camera. Doesn't have to be great, want to keep it under $300 max.

    Drove 18 miles out of my way to pickup an item from the only Walmart that had it to save $7 off buying it 2 miles away at Target.

    Make sense? No, it doesn’t! :rofl:

    Staging with our own furniture. We’re basically taking it down to the point it looks like an Air BnB, leaving key pieces of non-personal art up where those pieces add warmth or tie things together, and we’ve already packed half our stuff, purged and reduced closets, running on bare minimums in the pantry. My shop is the only space with clutter, but it’s tiny now. I’ve been giving shitloads of stuff away to locals, even FW of our forum members… tools, parts, etc. Listing a few bucks shy of 7-figures, hoping to have multiple offers before listing, which is a strong possible in this case. We are pricing aggressively for the area, and the house is extremely well-done, turnkey, ready for a family, adjacent to tons of stuff, and super safe for kids.

    I have a similar Daytona low-pro jack I bought from them, maybe a 4- or 6-ton, but it’s been awesome. I paid way more than $100 though, I’m pretty sure.

    Congrats on the LBJ wins!

    I meant mine was $100 off- regular $269 and I got it for $169. Even for $269 this is a nice one. I had no idea how mediocre my 20 year old Craftsman was in comparison.

    It is! 1987 Nissan 300zx (they transitioned from Datsun to Nissan in '84-85 - the original key I have is a Datsun Key). It isn't a turbo, but it is manual. A fun daily driver, for sure!

    You asked! I'm glad you did, because it looked like a cankle from that angle and your request made me look through all of my photos of it.
