What is the approximite weight of a 1 gen long box? The box itself, not the whole truck.

I can't tell you the weight, but I can tell you that it's easy for two guys to flip it over, lift it off a trailer, and carry it in to a garage and place on a truck frame. My buddy is definitely a larger dude than I am, and I've always been a skinny/lanky guy, but we managed it just fine.

Thats what i was wondering. Im gonna change the intank pump on rusty 2.0 at some point soon, as well as do injectors.

That is...if it passes compression. But the other day i tryed roll starting it down a hill and when i let loose of the clutch in 1st it locked the back tires and skidded, so i think thsts pry fine.

Oops. Mine was a shortbed. Although I've also lifted a long bed and had no difficulties with two people.

Idk where Myanmar is but I do know about Liberia. It was created by America & until the 80s it was governed and controlled by America. So that makes sense. Plus the entire point of our measure system is to be totally different than the Brits. Plus everybody in any science fiction movie uses our system, so I'm sticking with it cuz Mericuh??

It's in South East Asia, near Vietnam and Laos.

Also, don't most of those people die?

And weren't the Brits using the system we use when they colonized America and then switched to metric afterwards, since it wasn't invented yet? That's why the system of weights and measures the US uses is called the "English System".

Sure, something like that. Then we Revolted and started driving on the other side of the road and calling our fags cigarettes. I don't know who invented what. But a pound over there is money and a pound over here is 16 ounces. And over here I am 5'10" and over there I'm less than 2 meters or is it 3 meters. Is it meters or yards? 3 feet is a yard and a meter is less than 3 feet, 12 inches per foot. What was my point again???o_O


I will say, on my tools, I like a solid number and the fractions can get confusing on the little stuff, but even the metric sockets have ".5"'son the little ones.
