    Goodyear Wrangler thoughts.

    Recently went on little wheeling trip with my son and his 1984 BJ 60 Turbo. We trailered it for six hours with skid steer type trailer, being pulled by 2001 3/4 4x4 Dodge Cummins diesel. I don't think the old 60 had never gone as fast as on the trailer. The Dodge really pulls well, averaged...

    Foam squeegee

    Son bought a foam squeegee for the shop. He said it would dry the floor way better than the hard rubber one I've had for years. Cost $20.00 for a 22" model. He paid for it. Can't beat that. He seems to know where to get deals. Harper 22" Moss Foam Squeegee - GEMPLER'S - Outdoor Work Supplies...
