I've ate nothing but ramen noodles at work for lunch for the last two years cause I eat two packs a day and it keeps me full. And I can buy a 12 pack case that will hold me for almost two weeks for $2.00, lol. I hear ya on the money part. I've got pipe clamps holding the oil lines onto the metal feed lines connected to the oil filter housing. When the crimp ends started leaking I cut them off and put the pipe clamps on till I could afford the oil lines or untill it started leaking at the bottom also. I'm cheap as all get out.

 

haha ya my oil line is leaking too, but I did buy new line and am just using clamps to hold them on. I thought I would need longer lines for my body lift, but i didn't.
haha I got a 1st gen 3" because it was only 100 rather then the 2" made for my truck that was 197

when I rebuilt my front end, I went to 5 different parts stores, which ended up costing half of getting all the parts from one
