I say be happy that it did snap. Better to hold you up now than leave you stranded later....it's not like you call a "warranty" cry on an item like that eh? Now if the ex-girl would just crack under pressure you be golden eh? Looking good cody!

Nah, all the connectors are specific! You'll be fine! Throw back a few brews and dive in. Then have MJ make sure you didn't use cutters and solder to fix the ones you couldn't find!

Well the bad thing is that when I was putting the pump in I was stone cold sober not a beer in me and managed to drill the holes in the wrong place so now I have 4 holes in teh fram instead of jsut tow like there should be. Like the old saying goes "measure twice, cut once" should ahve taken that to heart.

sounds like some fun times are coming. do you guys have those used tire places around where you live? we do around here and you can get a set of tires for like 50 bucks. you could have some fun with an extra set of wheels.
