Thank you TMFKAH.

I never could pronounce or spell your original user name right anyway.

Added a set of these to the "spring time purchase" when I pick up a Stihl FS131R to keep the tall grass around the pond under control. I did not know these gloves existed, thank you sir.
Well that makes sense... Usually when the palm is used as a hammer, all the does is make your hand hurt while you are going to grab a hammer.
Good luck to you Tristan. I was thinking about your task at hand when I saw the snow flurries yesterday afternoon up here.

A friend of mine was a Taekwondo instructor and he taught me how to drive a roofing nail with my hand. After tapping the nail into a wall stud, we would hit the nail with the heel of your palm hard enough to make the wall move. And I could nearly drive it home with one hit. The force of the hit comes from the stance you take, and not thinking about the nail going thru your hand. I'm a lot older and maybe a little smarter now...I have plenty of hammers!

This story would have been perfect at the gazebo about the time Brad mentioned he stepped in a rattlesnake nest and we were trying to figure out if he was full of crap or not.

I asked Tristan about his FTE member name at the October GTG as I was curious where it originated from.
That is impressive, but I too have multiple hammers of multiple sizes.

Once you buy one nail gun, you always end up buying another. Or three. Or four. I think I have five. It's out of control.
So... getting a gun often leads to getting more guns.
Similar to the Purple One... he started off just trying to tighten up his front end. Maybe replace a ball joint or two.
Now look at him...

I often say to myself out loud ‘Don’t use your hand as a hammer’. But my hands are messed up. Bone Spurs, arthritis, etc from lots of abuse/multiple injuries.
My grandfather would say to use the right tool for the job. (Pry bar or chisel instead of a screwdriver for example...)
Good work so far Tristan - you’re on the downhill side of this now!!
The track bar is a pita. Install the lower bolt in track bar before hooking up the tie Rod to pitman arm. Then after pitman arm is hooked up, turn the wheels to get upper track bar bolt lined up.

Wow... You have quite a few nail guns. Sounds like an addiction! I have yet to get one but, I want one!
Dont let me interrupt y'all's gun talk, I just have a quick question. I was unaware that the end links were formed. I have driver side and passenger side separated but, which way does it actually mount to the truck? The bar appears to be identical whether it's upside down or right side up but, does the curve go (starting from the top) towards the frame or towards the transmission?
