Received my jacking pucks today - I almost can't believe they are

a) the least expensive jacking pucks out there.... and
b) jacking pucks! They look like some high quality aircraft part!

Anyway don't pay more than $30 for pucks, get them from Elite.

Too bad they don't make radar detectors because that is where my next $500 is going, at least for the C5.

(....'course that's after the new tile in the kitchen, gutters on the front, new glass in the sliding door, 30A circuit for the RV...)

Oh sorry, cheers guys. I'm having flashbacks from my C5 mod/Home Depot support groups.

Getting poor-er,

Smash

I got mine yesterday. I think they look too good. I don't want to use them for fear of dinging them up!

Their pucks are the best, I will get some soon.

Had an Electrician put in a 30A circuit for my 5th wheel recently, you'll love it. Tile in the kitchen is next for me too so I'll have to chill on mods for awhile, a short while that is. Sounds like we like to invest in the same type of depreciating toys.

Just got mine as well, as has been said, excellent quality and certainly reasonably priced. I just ordered the SS Tunnel Plate as well and Jeff is going to direct ship to my mod guy!!

HEY, a man after my own heart. You are correct, but spring break was a long time ago for me...I don't speak Ashley Simpson....

I'll be in KW in 3 weeks anyway, my T&A cup will be full and running over - perhaps you should drive out there with your C5 and we can discuss HP inbetween the T&A episodes...
