they're convenient but likely not as durable as those brass hooks. Can't believe how light these are, wearing them today in the shop and I feel taller already!Serious question,Lorien . Do you like those speed laces?
I like the hook style, but nobody makes the cast brass ones anymore, they are all stamped sheet metal that bend open (or get smashed shut). I haven't tried the full-loop style speed laces.
I’ve got the Haynes and the VW bible. I just wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it without somebody on hand that actually knows what they are doing. This guy is a really good mechanic. He’s semi-retired and only works on old VW’s now. He still owns and drives his 68 VW transporter, which was his first car. He’s honest too. When you go to pick up your vehicle he will have all the old parts laid out on a table. He then goes over everything he did and why. He then shows you invoices of where he got the parts and what they cost. Out west (around Portland at least) shops like this are pretty easy to find. That’s not the case in Ohio.
That’s exactly what I told my father I was going to do when he called me earlier. I told him I’d send him a link and that he should send it to his friends.
FWIW, it would be against the rules to post it here.
Don’t worry. There is no link.
BadAss boots! I hope you enjoy them! I have a new pair still in the box (under my bed) for when I destroy my current pair of these.

Canyon coolers are on sale for a few more days. If you’re into coolers, check out Canyon Coolers. Made in Flagstaff Arizona. If I remember correctly, they hold ice the longest and a fraction of the price of the big names.
Yep. Can 2nd that. Got a couple of their blacked out deep carry clips for my ZT folders.Unpaid and unsolicited feedback
I decided to go with an MXG pocket clip for my Gayle Bradley 1 folder instead of Casey Lynch West, because I had some fitment issues in the past with CLW's Ti pocket clips for my Spydies. I had instances when it was a PITA to get the hardware line up correctly with the clip hole and also a case when the darn hardware (it was the original clip's screws on a PM2) coming loose! Maybe I just lucked out on this one but I'm just that much more impressed with MXG. They even provide 6 torx screws (3 shorter and 3 longer ones) since the clip is supposed to fit a variety of Spydie patterns. I never had to use their screws because my own heavily customized GB1's pocket clip's screws fitted just fine
Take it FWIW, but I will be ordering directly from MXG from here on out. I registered my phone number so I was even getting text updates on top of email updates for a pittance $26 pocket clip and like $3.50 worth of USPS 1st-Class Mail shipping. I truly appreciate this kind of professionalism
P.S. But you do get a fancier presentation box from Casey if that's your thang!
I'll have gotten two months out of these boots by the time they get warrantied, which will have been just enough time for them to finish the job
under Danner's awesome warranty, I was given 99% off any other footwear up to $300, and can be refunded the 1% once I destroy the old pair. So I ordered some Crag Rats, which are just about the perfect boots for trail stalking!
