Thanks!

Here ya' go. Just download it (it's from MicroSoft) and when you want to re-size a pic just open the pic, right click on it, select 'resize picture' then click the 'medium' button and 'enter'. It will make a duplicate image next to the existing one but it will have (medium) after the image name or number.

When you click on the above link you will be taken to a page that will have right in the middle:

>> Click Here To Proceed To Link Destination <<

Click on that, then save file.

Or, if you don't trust me or that, then go to MicroSoft's page and get it from the column on the right. It's the item called 'image resizer'.

I've been using this for years. You can sweep several pics or an entire folder to resize all at once too.

Here's an example....
The original pic is 817KB, too big for the forum.
So the first pic is 'medium' and is 102KB with the push of a button.
The second pic is 'small' and is 71.5KB with the push of a button.
Easy as putting an SYE kit in a t-case isn't it?

That differs by tool brand/make.

Some I've used in the past had a line scribed around the outside of the cap; you lie the cap face 'up' on the tool and line the brake line up with that line on the cap, not the full height.

The bubble flare tool my roomate bought has a 'notch' cut into a little bit of metal, you set that piece over the hole on the tool and push line in until it bottoms out inside the notch.

This cheap advance auto tool said to expose line equal in length to the length of the pin. It also made no mention of the 2nd step in flaring after removing the anvil, though that step is obvious to anyone that's done it before.

In any case, I tried all manner of depths and just made a buch of failed ends and wasted about 10" of new brake line before the tool broke.

Sorry for the hijack.

Back on topic....
I'm not doing anything to my YJ today. It's 108 degrees expected. I'll be in the pool a few times THINKING of what I'm going to do to the YJ.

Did the Team Rush upgrade during lunch @ work today! The only thing that I didn't do yet is to change the coil. I bought an Accel Super Stock that I will install tonite after I get home.

I rescued a Jeep last night. Its gonna need some work, but it runs really good. Has a tranny leak, but besides that and the interior, and the paint, its not bad. They guy left the top off so it always got rained in, so its really dirty and has surface rust on a bunch of stuff. No major rust though.

It also had these wheels on it.



Heres a quick pic I snapped earlier.
