Now that is cool! Much better than split shafts with locking rings that never seem to lock the threads.

when you load links, they can self-tighten to the point that, outside of heat, won't come undone.... thus, these.

I equalized the pressure in the shocks, what an amazing difference. I need to get it up on the lift to get the proper pressure in the shocks, and fix my gauges (the emergency release releases at 140 psi.... I need 150).... still, what an amazing difference.
Going to be drivable by tomorrow?

It will be once I get the steering pump replaced tomorrow.

sad news, I was supposed to go wheeling this weekend - but the Jeep owners I know all had a cool wind blowing up their skirts and the Toyota guy gave it a full college try - but alas, even his FJ40 pee'd out its hydraulic fluid when confronted with the awesomeness that is my FJ40.... I need to bring them all over and do a round of upgrades to their vehicles (either that or provide thermal underwear for the Jeep guys)
Yep, it pee'd itself good. Lesson learned, when professionals say to make the brake pedal push rod to a hydroboost as straight as possible or it will ruin the seals they are not kidding. Close is not good enough.
Did you solve and sell the motorcycle?

time to build the boxes
there were some design changes (read, I can waste an entire sheet of material but still make what I need from the scraps.... just takes longer)
these fit between the b and c pillar
this one I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but since I started, I figured why not
still have to weld the lids, cut holes for the locks and put some form of lid opener on them... but this is the idea

Looking good. It is so nice to have a sheet metal bender.

locks and paint then they're done
Nice work. You can quit your day job and make boxes for a living!

actually, the job I left (by left, I mean, fell off a roof) to become (eventually) an attorney was building sheet metal boxes (out of stainless for restaurants)
LOL... figures

During the 90s, I was involved in building 90% of the restaurants built in the Portland area - whether it was building bits for other contractors or doing the entire kitchen from permit to occupancy. Our specialty was (still is for my dad) hard-to-permit locations. What's really sad, though, is that we did a bunch of restaurants in Old Town Portland - now it's all fallen apart again.
