Saw of couple of peak putters there this morning....

Picked up combination standard hex, metric hex and torx wrenches today for 5 bucks. Tired of digging through my tool bags for these wrenches.


Almost bought this with the intention of making it work with my winch. The plug fits but the pins are slightly different in orientation. I don't think it would take much and for 30 bucks it might be worth a shot.Image

I bought a brand new creeper for $19.99!!

And some giant carabiners for gravity race car hook ups.

And some more zip ties. Can't have too many zip ties.


Total bill: $25.00. Love a good sale. :lol:

I bought a couple, one for the YJ and one for the Lexus (warn xd9000i) they work great with some minor modification (although there is a little lag). I also don't plug it in unless I need it (the two that I have don't work for each other but I'm not sure if someone else may have one that will work). I also keep my original remote in the vehicle just in case. I had a coupon and got them for around 25.00 each.

I also ran one of those on the XJ, worked just fine but it also suffered from the lag as Rich mentioned. Not a big deal once you got used to it, but it was not so good for any finesse type work, such as using your winch as a hoist to lift things in your shop...
