Interesting. Never heard of using mineral spirits. Do you spray it on the tools? Or ???

Gonna use it to clean my tranny parts. It's used as a cleaning solvent in a majority of parts washers in mechanic shops.

Will do.

Yeah, I was looking for a cheap parts washer, but they're all to be used with non solvent water based degreasers... which I don't care for. I'm old school, and like using Mineral Spirits. I have a fresh can of Mineral Spirits and all the tranny parts are in giant tub so this sprayer and a parts washer brush is the next best thing.

19x9.5 in front and 19x10.5 in the back for now and the plan is to put R888Rs (285 front, 305 rear) on them and have a second set of 255 all seasons on cheaper wheels for normal driving. Eventually I plan on getting the G-Stream widebody front end and seeing about running wider fronts with a square 305 setup.

Also ordered the rear GT 350 rotors today and the front hubs and rear bearings came in earlier this week so once it finally cools off enough to snow and they salt the roads I'll park the car for the winter and start messing with brakes.

Soooo, these (in 19x8.5) randomly happen to be 43% off today too so I wound up saving $200+ off of what I had been planning spending on them and my "normal" wheels will now being showing up a day after the wheels above lol:

I couldnt get a rolling tool box/ cart like @RAU03MACH because I have no room in the garage so went with this instead:

Dont know of it is blasphemy to combine a Husky with a Kobalt...
Was 139 bucks with ballbearing slides and textured coating.

Purchased 1/2" drive Standard and Metric deep sockets and Metric Impact deep sockets while I was at it.

Also purchased some items at HF Quality Tools...
Been looking for some carbide dremel bits and finaly found some at HF... 60 bucks sheesh, but I had an $10 gift card so it came to 50. Theres been plenty of times where I needed them right at that moment, but ended using a drill bit and a metal file... Shady Tree Mechanic ingenuity...
