If you have a written agreement that he is going to pay you $X over a period for particular goods, and he hasn't made the payment, go through the small claims court in your state. Usually the first letter from the courts saying he is being sued and he'll hand the cash straight over... Or give him ...

Any new (voice) CB will have 22 & 23 locked out.

So you are aware, if you are in possession of a radio which has channels programmed in a licenced band (i.e. not the 40 standard channels), and you don't have a licence for those frequencies then you are breaking the law.

Front stabilizer bar with 2" lift

Hey quick question.

I've just put 2" lifted springs in my 90 Sierra, in addition to the extended shackles which were on when I bought the car. Thing is, I can't get the front stabilizer bar to reach the spring plates now to reconnect it. What should I do?
