Switches were less than 30 bucks for the two shipped, a few dollars on connectors and then 6 wire at 20 feet plus 2 wire at 20 feet (I already had that so not sure on pricing which remember that was for 2 lockers not one) but say it was 3.00 a foot you would probably spend 30-40 bucks for wiring, I mean you could easily wire in an elocker this way for way less than a 150.00 I'm thinking even easily less than 50.00 depending on what you already have

Got this:


From here:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Rubbermaid...Chest/20613569

Walmart shipped it FedEx 2nd day all the way to the middle of the Pacific Ocean for free! That alone constitutes one of the best things I scored for a hundred bucks.

Talking 87 Chevy 4x4 step side

bought it for $75 with a brand new ignition switch and bald ass Tires. Put a set of 31x15.5x15 V-treads behind the ol granny 4 speed and beat the shit out of it for a couple weeks, blew the head gaskets pulled my tires off and sold it to one of those Chevy guys for $500. BTW I had a title to it so it wasn't stolen.

I picked up a pair of very lightly used locking hubs for my first gen t4r for $20 at a junk yard. I dont think the truck was ever put in 4wd. Not a spot of rust or even a ding in em.

Recently it is this compressor head I found for $40,3/4 Hp at 2.5-3 cu ft min.
I have a large 24v motor in my junk drawer but I want to try running it off a belt from the engine first... It's about 11 inches tall & 12 pounds.

Shit, good luck with that. That'll throw some drag on the motor. If you can get it going you'll have plenty of air!

Well I guess I'll add mine. I just bought 2 tan NATO Scepter Jerry cans for (a damn good deal) each from a buddy who picked up a $#IT load of Jerry's at a surplus auction. He only had 4 scepters tho (now only 2).
