    Clint, I worked as an engineering tech for a few years after I got out of the Marines. The company made ceramic capacitors. I used to create and test new potentiel products that the engineers designed. I soldiered leads on parts that were about 1/50th that size so I know where you are coming from...fun, fun, fun!

    Yeah, I think I am going to need glasses soon. I can handle it no problem when its surface mount but when its the leads to wires like that, its a pain. I am a bit of a shaky guy as it is so holding that wire straight is a task.

    Hey Riff,

    I just found several examples of YOU participating in NON VX related topics..

In addition; being from the "factory", the entire package of components would be well engineered to work in concert with each other with high reliability. However, it definately needs a hard-shell bolt-on roof assembly to keep the greedy hands of car burglars out of the Jeep's interior when parked.

    Still; as far as 4x4 concepts go, the Chinese Hummer HX/H4 concept RULES!!!

    The video is sad in that nobody would help him and were afraid to even touch him, as if he had AIDS or something (remind me never to go to that POS U.S. State). It's just as well he didn't buy the beverage, because by the time he left it would have already been warm.
    So maybe you should think before you lash out at someone for posting something here that you dont like. There were several others to choose from.

    Ok here comes (the voice of experience). At some point you're gonna need glasses...I highly recommend a couple of glasses of wine..(I know ya can't do that at work). If you're shakey now you'll always be shakey i.e. T4B.

    Vodka is better for "at work" applications...
