Thanks, and no problem kayak...I'm in the middle of a job transfer / in temporary housing / more permanent housing search...Can't really work on my Jeep without driving home, to my parent's place, where my tools are..I did take a tool bag with me to the temporary place, for small emergency repairs...My jeep has only ever needed one "emergency repair", and that was a torque converter...I wouldn't be doing that with a bag of hand tools...I had rather have them and not need them vs. needing them and not having them... Was toying with the idea of limiting straps for the front suspension with a double shear brakcet on the lower control arm....

Spark test them with a grinder. YouTube spark test if your unsure how this is supposed to look.
