    UG....Jason you are da man.R)R) Along this same subject line, a lug wrench from an undetermined vehicle(we can say Jeep for this purpose)will also render aproximately the same results but requires mutiple blows. Very glad that the 302 harmonic balancer is more efficient at dispatching game. I will remember that for future conversations with my hunting buddies that prefer a bow and arrow for such activities.:beer: :beer: ;)

    take an old ring and pinion
    mount and weld the pinion gear to the ring gear as it would be in the axle
    mount it to the wall
    you now have a great TP roll holder..
    use a nut and washer on the end to hold the roll on
    had this at my dads shop....in the mens room of course....

    Pistons work great for that too. Especially if you cut the piston through the wrist pin bore. Then you have a resting place for your smoke.:)

    Made the piston ashtrays in shop class in High School. Cut them off just below the rings and turned the centers out with a lathe.

    Since I will be using a military tub on my frame, this leaves the tailgate of my civilian tub for my civilian jeep trailer. The tailgate on the trailer now is in poor shape and just does not look Jeep like. The CJ tailgate with the Willys embossed into it will be much better.
    I will also be mounting two old jerry cans on the rear fenders. One on each side with the filler toward the front. However they are not gas worthy inside so they will have a 10 inch sub in each with tweeters in the filler hole. I will leave a little extra wire so I can remove them form the fenders and place them appropriately for event sound.

    If you spread enough old parts around the house to upset your wife, they make GREAT birth control. (hee-hee)
