G'day!

Free towel!
I find them routinely as they are blown off the golf carts and LSV's that populate the island....... So far I've easily collected over 30 of them......all different styles and shapes.....but most in very good condition!

Aren't those 'model specific' Byron? Or will it fit most any vehicle?
I've never owned a roof-top bike carrier.

You can change the feet, or I could just use the rails on my factory Cheyenne racks, but the main reason I grabbed these is that I have wanted to modify a 914 top so I can carry bikes when I choose to. Hell, most of us tip more than $20 when out, so it was a no brainer.

Dayamn, that's nice. On the Garage Journal that would earn you a "you suck" compliment.

That Craftsman Router will last a long time. I still have my Craftsman Skil-Saw that I bought in my twenties. 50 years and still runs like new.

Good god, that PC looks brand new. The rubber cord strain relief isn't even cracked. (The Craftsman would be my permanent quarter inch roundover tool. It's be so handy just to have a spare router motor for the most commonly used cutter.)
You suck!

Yeah! I don't think either of the routers saw much use at all. I tried to get a few more things from this sale but didn't have much luck.

You are aware of the harbor freight jackstands recall? Tried to PM this link, but: "tabs has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space".

No matter who makes them, that style of jack stand with the lever lock has always made me nervous. I always feel like an accidental bump on the level might release them. I prefer the pin style.

A decent score. Brand new (used once, it looks like) bolt cutters for a ten-spot.
I'll take that deal. ![]()

Nice score on the bolt cutters, Herr Oberst!
Same with all the others on this page...too many to name....lol....you know who you are! Bugs - on the towels - I don't believe any are from a resort. All private and like I said fell off the back of the little carts they drive around.....

I have many of the style of stands you are describing and I can say that unless they were severely defective, it would be impossible to move the little handles with the weight of a vehicle on them. They are the standard type of JS for decades.
