Oh.... when working on grass, I always put a piece of cardboard down, so if parts drop, the ants don't carry them off......

You know your a redneck when you take your speakers out of your door to use the magnet to find a screw for your brakes.

Quick question, The shoes. One has a smaller contact area than the other, does that one go on the front or back. If you are looking at the assembly. BTW I can't jack th eother side as I only have one jack stand that ain't broken.
