It's F150, previously with tow hooks, so it has a bumper place, trim, frame holes, bolt and nuts - everything except a HF receiver tube. I went practical - seam up the bolthead would ride poorly on the inside weld, so seam down the bolt head rides on a flat, formed section. DONE!

Bolt from bottom will go through to frame above. Weld up or down?

Seam is 90* from lateral pin holes. Will get holes for bolts to frame and holes for bolt head acsess. Which side get which? Welded seam to frame, smaller holes, clamped to frame OR Access holes in welded side, smaller holes in formed side, bolts in there to clamp to frame. Will way is stronger...

And that may freeze - cable to jacket.

I'm VA, own a ?ULEV/high mpg Hyundai - and paid on those known liars' mpg as published.

It would be reasonable to remind of the rules before reset (during error), like 1 cap, 1 lower, 1 number, 1 special. I know what password I use based on which rules....

Above your outstretched arms is a horrible place for something really hot. Get a real hood (1 level up is a big difference) and a counter/cart microwave.

You know, maybe it's my age, but I get annoyed, and still cannot rationalize hard 'brake checking'. I can think of much safer ways to mess 'back' with someone.

I bought a Challenger, quickly saw how many kids wanted to show off in front of that compared to my Camry. I have a single, 2 camera Blackvue system, with 2 cameras and no display (uses the phone by Wifi.) Very discrete. In the Challenger (DD), I have it wired to a switch that selects battery or...

I drive similar, often for 50 years now. I can remember: When it seemed like SC didn't understand 'interstate', every car lot or side street could have a driveway on interstate. Now Virginia has gotten almost as bad, letting any contractor establish a parking lot where ever they chose. The first...

We pay, unless there is an event, then a short window. I predict 'brown spaces' required for single family residences within 15 years - as 'green waste' is such a high percentage by volume.

Based on the cars you named, do you actually off road at a distance from commerce? That would affect what I would have to carry along, in those cases. (I have an ignition/sensor and the like kit for the Durango - for the national forests and OBX.)

You may notice I'm the third entry, second response. And I said: "I see no reason supplied..." not that I had thought it through AT ALL, but at that point, having read through so far and looked at the links, I saw NO REASON SUPPLIED - exactly as stated. (I also know that in my state the...

I see no reason supplied as to why it is unsafe - sounds like "We don't like it". If big guys can do whatever they want - how on earth did open exhaust get through DOT/NHTSA ? - why not little guys? Odd they want to pretend they're actually performing work with their trucks!
