Looks like you can store flat items, using it as a pouch? Where could I get these?

“5.11” I see the small tag!

“5.11” I see the small tag!

Doh! I cut most off. Guess I missed that one.

It’s a new product that just happened to PERFECTLY accomplish what I needed in this weird example.

Edit: Oh! It’s because the rubber loop covers it when down.

@ethernectar should appreciate, though, as he is the 5.11 marketing honcho...

Nothing at all.

I'd love to know how many grinding flap wheels you go thru in a month. Very nice.

Not many, maybe 2 a day when I'm building bumpers. I use 3M Cubritron ceramic resins and they are pretty tough. I hardly ever use a flap disc. But, I also use P&O material, so there is NO mill scale.

4130 CrMo ball cups for the new UCAs are about finished up.

Caps are complete and the ball barrels are almost finished.

Caps are headed to the plater for anodizing.

Another happy customer

I need this.

Bravo, Jason. Very nice gesture that is above and beyond.

Meanwhile...I just covered my sweet Trail Tailor tailgate storage with industrial Velcro. Still a work in progress, but I love it.

(Latches are black...but reflected the light sky)

Thank you, Jason!!

Jason do you know how much your sliders weigh. 60 lbs maybe? I'm still trying to find something less than 80 lb Budbuilts. Strong sliders for sure....just don't need that much down here in dirt country...even though I'll pass through Moab and Colorado some. I 'm not a rock basher.

J, it was a pleasure to me you and A. Hope you have years of fun with the bumper. I have to say I've seen a lot of 200s and your 2008 is pristine in comparison to most others combined that I've had in the shop.
