It matters not a bit if the news is old if the news is new to me!!!

But no, I didn't pay attention to that. I really don't have a life so I'm always impressed by innovative (& relatively simple) solutions to age old problems ... even if I don't currently have an application for it.

BTW, did you hear that they've finally been able to synthesize the active ingredients of the cambium layer of willow bark for relieving pain ... it's being touted as a miracle drug ... they're calling it asperin.

Sounds like Tom has invented a new activity called "mind hoarding"

UB Skidderz was what started it all, it was the first product I built (mostly because I got tired of cutting the ubolts off when I wanted to remove the spring plates) and a couple hundred bumpers, boulder bars, ball joint spacers, and diff drops later I am still at it...

Not to nit-pick a great idea but why didn't you taper the leading edge? Seems like it might help on the rare occasion when you encountered a rock with it.

ROFL. I reached critical mass mentally before I ever gradumicated college. This little gem will probably be forgotten as soon as the thread is no longer on the front page.
