snap on....i had a walmart one to and while i was swapping rims on my stang it folded over sideways, luckily i had gotten the tire and wheel on. dont go cheap when your life is under a 3500 lb car

True. My father was underneath my grandfathers car doing some exhaust work just trying to tie it up and the old-*** jack stand gave way and the car almost landed on my father while he was out there alone. Luckily he was at the right position so it didnt touch him and he could crawl out

I bought BFG All Terrain TA KO's for my truck. 35K and they are still going strong and I havent had one puncture.

They are also awesome in the mud.

MY BRAKE WOES ARE OVER!!!!!!

After all the crap I went through trying to find out what the hell was wrong with my brakes I finally got it.

Apparently since I bought my car with 73k and three fouled spark plugs I was running extremely rich. This resulted in a pool of gasoline that flooded my vac booster and ruined the seals between the booster and the fire wall which created the water leak also... WONDERFUL

well that sucks, at least you figured it out

with the break in the weather here in PA i decided to drive the mustang a little bit and install my mach 1 grille.

pretty happy with it

its weird though. my car didnt even have a grille frame. Do you think i need one?

On the other hand, about how much do you guys think I could get for my Cobras with new tires on them?

They are in good condition other than one rim having curb rash
