Thanks for the post. Many times I have to use glasses to read the screen. In this case I had to use sun glasses because of the shine off the metal. Congrats.

I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
Ok Guys.. Have a Potential Score- If I can figure out how to get it out of there! She thought it would fit on a 16 foot trailer. NOPE!
So while I figure that out.. they had a property clean out party going on.. I did not leave empty handed!! Truck and Trailer FULL!
So this is my sense of humor. Whenever I get a vehicle- I go through it with a fine tooth comb. As luck would have it- this Jimmy had the original car lot window sticker in the glovebox. Being the smart-arse I am- I taped it to the drivers side window. When new in 1993 it cost over $24,000... I snagged it for $300...21 years later. Not quite "showroom quality" but I like the price MUCH better! HA!

I enjoyed reading this thread Sledge. Keep up the updates. Maybe I'll make my own thread someday.
Adding some new Bling to the Trailer. My hook that couples the winch cable to the J-Hooks has one of those flimsy crap latches on it. Instead of keep buying them over and over and expecting a different result. Decided to fork out some cash and get a Factor55 ProLink.. I also ordered a Crosby 3/4" Screw Pin Anchor that will connect my Winch cable and Recovery J-Hooks. I'll snap pics of it once all arrives.. but here are a few pics to tide you over.. This is gonna be badarse!
Rated Load on the ProLink is 16,000 lbs with an Ultimate Fail Load Rating of 39,000lbs
The Crosby 3/4" Screw Pin Anchor Shackle has a rating of 9,500 Lbs
What it Replaces: a G70 Hook with a Max Rating of 5,400 lbs. On a 10,000 lb winch.. it appears to be less than adequate!
