Sorry Jim I missed that one.

I will just use 12" leger lockers, that way it makes a coat hook on the other side of the wall.

I meant if I had to choose other than Ford...I would still rather the raptor over any of the others. I do like that the power wagon comes with the winch though. More suited for the off-roading that I do.

I've overdone it the past couple of days.
Tuned up the fleet of chain saws yesterday and had to test them out. (needed firewood anyhow)
It's very painful now. 6 Ibuprofen and a Scotch do nothing.
Hope I don't need pharmaceuticals to get to sleep.

I would like to get the surgery done but am scraping by with work and have bills to pay.

oh jeez.
Have you seen the new cable mounts? I just installed my first one a few weeks ago. I hung a 55" Samsung LED 3D TV that was .9" thick. The total thickness from the wall was 1 5/8" from wall to front of the TV. It was pretty slick, the thing hung on the wall like a picture.







Pucks get mounted on the wall, and the cable and feet get mounted on the TV. I had to toggle bolt one of the pucks, but it held.
