LOVE that light. I ended up buying three more to use around the house/send Morse code to the International Space Station.

Wow! That's hard core! Mine gets a meguire's waxing once a year (maybe) whether it needs it or not. LoL

Oh yeah! I found the flashing flashilight mode. Only burned one eyeball out of my face looking at it while figuring out how to turn it on.

Ew ran out of anti-butt hurt meds, Rusty's sleeping on the couch tonight, Spoiler's re-counting his Strategic Bacon Stockpile for the third time today, and Spooler's strumming a banjo by the river.

It has a coat of Blackfire paint sealant on it now and it looks good to me. Idk if all the effort if going to be worth it or not but we will find out. How it sits currently:

Lines for bread, black market for Levi’s and jordache (sp) jeans, fist fights between moms at the commissary over the last bunch of bananas bc you could only get what was in season and not even sometimes. Smuggling TVs and movies into the country hoping the commie guards with ak 47s at the border weren’t gonna search our car and would respect my dad’s passport.

Those were the fun days. Going into Yugoslavia with a big suitcase full of women's Levi's and panty hose. It was better then cash.

Always worth the effort! I polish twice a year. Then two coats of Adam's paint sealant, two coats of Adam's Glaze, two coats of Adam's Americana wax.

On the PowerWagon forum. We found the gov't site selling used PowerWagons. The guys over the years have bought a few of them. Most needed some work.

Not a bad idea. They are very inexpensive and works really well from what I can tell.
