Which is why it's "2nd", not "Second"?

What? The stock one didn't fit?

We're quite fortunate. Our Challengers have all come with painted hoods from the factory.

I've used those for decades now and always had good luck with them. I do carry an EM spare, but if at all possible I'll go for the plugs first. It's much quicker. Have fixed everything from a slashed sidewall (it took quite a few to seal up the 4" gash) to a small nail hole on a practically new...

You really should invest in a Safety Seal kit. And also get a set of the Slim plugs, they are a much better fit for small punctures.

She just told me that so far this month she's got very close to $7K in vet bills. Now, that includes one that had to be put down...but not here.

Well, we could throw them in the river, but then they eventually end up being somebody else's problem.

Are you saying that your 'hood isn't mostly black already?

I could dig regular graves, too. After all, it's not completely uncommon that people just disappear around here. Usually the cops know about it, and more or less what happened and why, but don't worry about it. Unless it wasn't justified. Keep in mind that backhoes outnumber 1/2-ton pickups here.

I had no problems using StaBil, but once I became aware of and started using Star Tron, that's a whole different level. My 200-gallon storage tank used to be good for two years, max, now who knows. Revived some 6-year old gas in (airtight) cans with it. Can't recommend or praise it enough.

Put more Star Tron in the tank to counteract the 9-month old gas. Yay indeed.

I try to have two spares for horses, about 5x14 and 10' deep, and one cat/dog, about 2x5 and 6' deep. Having the small one isn't that critical as even one of the small backhoes can be used to dig one pretty quickly, unless the ground is frozen. Still, I prefer to dig them when the weather is...

Very few, thankfully. But it's still handy when living in a 1-bedroom house.

She has at least a dozen, eight of them here. At one point I suggested that the vet would just stay in the guesthouse instead of driving 170 some miles almost daily. Besides, she's very good looking. Basically, she buys what was a $100K+ horse for maybe $30K, then spends some $50K on vet bills...

If so I'm not overly concerned. We rarely have any wind here, just a gentle breeze (except when I want to weld).

Did you put 22s on it?

I suspect she's the latter. But it's not as costly for her to buy new vehicles as it may seem. She may have bought five or six this year, but I generally manage to get the prices down quite a bit. Basically, my job is to find, or spec them for orders, then go get them. I've probably saved her...

Ah, then you know how much fun 14,00R20s on beadlock wheels can be. I laugh at the little stuff, like Challengers wheels, but unfortunately my back and knees don't join me in that laughter.

Easy for you to say. I don't have a lift that'll accommodate 40' trailers or 16,000-lb. vehicles.Or even a hydraulic lift cart. And if I did, I wouldn't want those tires and wheel assemblies to potentially fall down from three feet.

I use a simple breaker bar, but a large screwdriver would also work to get the wheel studs to line up with the holes in the wheel. It's fairly easy to both rotate the tire a bit and lift it to the correct height that way. Of course, I also only lift the car until the tires clears the floor by...
