Of trailer queens. Show me something that isn't scraping the perfectly smooth surface of a track, that can actually be driven on the street without ripping parts of the bodywork off. Slammed is stupid, no matter how well some people think it looks when stationary.
Wound up getting lucky. Talked w/ Tom, and he had enough B-stock parts lying around to put together what I am told will be the last relocation kit to ship.
Is he shutting down shop a la Boss Frog? Or just not selling that part specifically anymore?
I never really understood the point of that piece, but it looked nice i suppose. My MSM had one.
Not shutting down shop, just decided to stop producing a part which is specific to '99-'05 vehicles, and for which demand is apparently waning.
I always envied this piece when I had an NA. I have never, in 25 years of car ownership, done a filter change that didn't result in oil dribbling down my arm and all over the floor, regardless of how many diapers / maxi pads I stuffed around it. I'm at an age where I'm sick of that ****.
Seems very well made. The ports are big, the threads are clean, and it was free of swarf. Only reason this one was B-stock was that one of the tapped holes for the rubber feet was munged. I can live with that.
Have to admit I'm a tad leery of the press-fit hoses, but I've read a bunch of XRP / Aeroquip reviews, and the stuff seems to work.
I'm always slightly weirded out when food packaging / advertising features a picture of the animal which was slaughtered to make it, cheerfully urging me to eat it.

Was FM not around at that time? I have a relocation kit, that I bought used. It mounts the filter on the firewall on the passenger side. A Cool Whip container fits under it perfectly to catch any drops. That and a Fumoto valve mean oil changes are quick, easy and clean.

Yeah, along with Moss, JC Whitney, and a bunch of others. At the time, I had a CARB sticker and a (gutted) FPR occupying that space on the firewall, plus I hadn't yet become enough of a grumpy old fart who gave a **** about oil dribbling down his arm to engineer a better solution.
Remember, this was back when I thought that attaching a circular-saw blade to the front of the crank pulley was a perfectly sane and reasonable idea.
