Default Some great budget build ideas from your local home depot

So im pulling a long shift today at work, 8am-8pm so i figured id walk around the store and look for some great ideas to use on my build and man ive gotta say ive found some good ones

First for anybody that might need some leaf spring shims to correct your pinion angle i found these shims

Some great budget build ideas from your local home depot-image-3382584157.jpg

Very reasonable priced at 1.37 and you get a whole pack! Environmentally friendly and when they wear out just throw on some new ones. A soft ride for your springs too.

The next great deal ive found is for you guys that want a budget exo cage. Right now 1/2" emt is only $2 for 10 feet. Very economical.

So ive got a long day ahead of me but ill keep an eye out for some more great deals! :P

Nothing on your vehicle should ever be made of wood. Ever.

this is why i never go to home depot anymore. their employees are either too busy texting, jawing with their work friends, hiding from you, or just walking around with blank looks on their faces....or looking for funny stuff to post on the interwebz.

Someone spends too much time Mall Crawling to consider wood as part of a Vehicle.

Apparently these guys missed the joke. Sometimes people are so excited to jump on someone for being stupid that they end up looking stupid themselves.
