Oh, it does. But please excuse me , it's not called something so crass as a vacuum . It's called a " Dust Extractor " .

And i thought my $500 Fein was a true wallet killer. I did have to put the brakes on from buying their miter saw. Festool makes some nice stuff, no doubt.

Fein is good stuff too. I've looked at that Festool miter saw a bunch of times and walked away every time, if it stayed in the shop , maybe. But it seems too fragile to go out to the job site .

The decals will cover the lettering so no biggy. At least, according to my measurements.

I love Festool, they're the only power tool brand I buy for woodworking tools. Well, I have a few Bosch tools. Those Germans know how to build nice sh$t.

That is true. I use to have around 5K worth of tools and accessories but now that ca4pentry isn't my main source of income I have sold about half. Great thing about Festool is their tools hold probably 90% of their resale value. I only have 5 tools now with numerous accessories , T18, CT26, TSC 55, RO125 and OF1010

My wife says the same thing haha. Well, did. Until I started making her do some of her own Pinterest projects then she realized the green juice is the best juice!

It's a Toyota elocker I got from a member here. I got the wiring harness from 12voltguy.com and I couldn't recommend it more. Great customer service for my questions and very helpful. About 1 week from order to delivery to my door and the install was simple the way he had it. Honestly, I was very impressed.

I have been wanting to do this exact thing. I listen to my phone 99% of the time and would like the antenna down on trails or whatever. I've just been waiting until I have the dash open again to do it.

Let's see... I got one axle put back together (the leaking one) and picked up the last two retainer that I was waiting for to do the other side. Dropped the rear diff oil and replaced with some Lucas 75W90 and replaced and relocated the rear diff breather!
I also discovered that I have the original spare. One of the problems of having an 18 year-old spare tire is that the valve stem has decided to rot out. So... looks like I'll be on the hunt for a new spare!

I spent a good portion of the very hot and humid day scouring the junkyard and pulling an axle shaft to replace mine that is bent. It was bad enough my wife said to just buy aftermarket Chromoly shafts!!!
I also finished my roof rack, well almost, still need a wind deflector.

Just looked up some prices on a 3rd gen e locker, I would definitely pay another hundred bucks or so for Toyota over Detroit.

Learned a very valuable piece of wisdom and patience when I stripped the threads of the CV axle hub where the nut threads on. I was pissed off and angry, because when you're that far into that job, you're practically already done.
Lesson learned: a bike ride for a 12-pack and some fresh air clears the mind and calms you down.
about 30 minutes with an assortment of files and chisels and I was back in business....with beer to boot
