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!

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!
