you want to hook the 12v power wire for the light to an ignition hot. This way your light won't be on all the time. The red wire to the radio would work but not the yellow power wire or the cigarette lighter they are always hot. You could also hook it to locks or windows or really anything that comes on with the key on.

Ya know what they say about baseball don't ya? It is the only sport that you can cram 15 minutes worth of action into 3 hours.

At least there's some tension in baseball with each pitch. How many seconds of actual gameplay occur in a standard 60-minute NFL game? Not to mention the commercials that drag the average broadcast out to a 3.5 hour timeslot on the network...

I'll save you the trouble, the answer is 660. The average broadcast NFL game features 11 minutes of gameplay.

Interesting. My father had box seats to Yankee Stadium when I was kid. Now ya gotta remember it was the mid sixties. Lots of day games, double headers, and twilight double headers. Anyway we went to every home game. Sometimes he would tell us we are not going to school to go to the game. After many games my response was can I please go to school. It was cool in the beginning but just became too much of a good thing. 3 up three. 3 down. 3 up. 3 down.

New SFR motor and trans mounts came in




Got them with the "Super-Soft" bushings that Stinky Fab offers. Welds look pretty good, the trans mount is really beefy, and the motor mounts I would say are "mostly beefy", alot of other companies advertise that they weld the insides of the mount where the tube meets the bottom frame, but I am not going to be rock-bouncing it so if I am breaking these welds I have some bigger issues (or I rolled off a cliff, lol). They are also significantly cheaper than the other options, and as cheap as the mass produced ones (daystar and such).








Can't wait to throw these in, maybe this weekend

My cigarette lighter is ignition hot, my 12v power source is always hot.

Honestly couldn't tell you because I'm running cavfab steering, but it doesn't seem to stick out too much. Most aftermarket covers stick out a good bit though.

Changed oil and filter (Rotella T6 and NAPA Gold). Doesn't need much else at the moment, running great, but I do want to change trans fluid soon as a preventative measure.
