Saw these on kickstarter or somewhere awhile ago and after shearing a valve stem a few years ago thought they were a good idea.
They allow you to replace the valve stem from the outside of the rim with out breaking the bead. Cheap insurance to have in the trail box

Just noticed the first gen 4WD emblem on the back. Man I wish somebody made reproductions of those. They look good on any rig

Looks like you have been getting quite a bit done. The HF welder did great. Someone that knows how to operate one can make about anything work. That welding is not quite as easy as one might think. Truck is coming along nicely.

Robb do you have one of the lights on the door panel too? Can you change the color on it for a work light?

Thanks Terry, no sure if I really know how to operate it that well, flapper disks make stuff look better

Tony you are correct, I have one on the door. I don't think you can swap lens on them, they do have clear, red, orange, blue and green lights available
I have a couple of clear that I was thinking of mounting under the hood.

Photobucket kinda did a nasty to some of us, Mr. Pile.
If we want those links to work we suddenly have to pay $400 a year.
Or re-do all our photos from another source.
Or simply move forward and onward.
Seems a bit...crazy.
There's a ton of threads just like this one, and more to come (PB's not gotten to everyone yet) but hopefully they all find a new place for their pics and carry on (you too, Robb).

Yep Photobucket screwed a lot of people. How do you go and all of a sudden decide to charge people $400 a year? Their Facebook page has more than a few people stating their dissatisfaction with their services.
I was able to download my albums from photobucket before they killed or kill that option. So I will see about another hosting service (like Google) and see if I can reconstruct the thread.

I got screwed by PB too. Luckily you can download complete albums with just one click. I'm still pissed about it.

yep, it took me awhile to chill. I am just glad I got my pics saved. photobucket just kept sending me generic responses. but it looks like I found a work around using google photos
Using Google Chrome:
Right click on the google image, 'Open image in new tab', right click on the new tab image,'copy image address', paste that into the image box URL form.

I couldn't seem to find the link to download MY entire album in one-click.

Great to see everybody's work-around/solutions.

Go to your PB library, whichever album you choose. You'll see pics and on the right the links under "Share This Album"
Scroll down to "Actions" and you'll see "download album". Click that and there will be a pop-up for downloading that album.
Click the "I'm not a robot" box and then "download"

so now that i sort of have pics figure out here was an short little adventure on the 4th when my frigging throttle cable broke- there is a little plastic doohicky on the end of the cable that runs into the gas pedal.
that little POS broke off somehow so zip ties to the rescue

Ha, that's an awesome fix! How long did it take to extract yourself from under the dash after?

Flickr seems to label the pics with people's names, good to see you got it right.
