If they are aluminum there is some stuff called blue something that you can get at Wally World that is supposed to work good.

Nice to meet you Tyler! Like Cris said, most of us are 7.3 folks. We just kinda BS here all day, everyday, 365...it never really stops, just picks up every morning....

Pete- when spring gets a little closer I'd like to pick your brain some about leveling out my lot. It's the first year after construction and after all the snow and rain it has settled pretty good in some places...I'll PM you when time comes to fix it. That cool with you?

One of my bro's buddies had a V10. It shot out spark plugs. Not just like they rattled loose and fell out. It shot them out and stripped the threads. Stock truck. I work with another guy who has a V10 and loves it. That being said he babies the heck out of that truck. 02 with like 50k miles and the bed paint isn't even worn off yet.

Go right ahead I'll BS to anyone who will listen when it comes to iron and sitework. Remember: A picture is worth 1,000 words.

You two are pups!! LOL Well, I'm not that much older, but at 38 I'm still about one of the biggest 6yr olds you'll meet.

Went snowboarding at Keystone today (shoulda been there Brent!) and my buddy Paul's wife is like "I don't want to get hurt and blah blah blah...".... she's 28. I'm 10yrs older and don't worry about getting beat up/mangled... what the heck??? Maybe I am an adrenaline junkie/idiot/whatever but I can't believe how many 20-something's I've met that are scared to do stuff!!

Am I nuttier than most? maybe. But it's like lifting weights. You have to push and strain things a bit to get stronger. Maybe that's why I enjoyed lacrosse so much. Pain got instantly converted to adrenaline and a bit of rage. Longest I was ever "taken out" for was about a minute. Then I leveled the guy, though nothing broke.... I tried guys!!

Anyway, don't worry about your age. Go do dumb stuff... you'll learn more and have better stories.
