    Harbor Freight jack stand recall

    Anyone with jack stands from harbor Freight better pay attention, they just re-called about a half million jack stands they say "could" collapse during use. Harbor Freight quality shines through again! :(

    So my wife asks me if I know what JEEP stands for, so I'm thinking she's going to make some snarky comment on how much I spend on the TJ.

    Currectlync Steering

    So I ordered a Currectlync Steering kit on Amazon for a good price and it showed up last Friday. I go to pick up the box and it's surprisingly heavy.
