Re: Old School Aluminum Slotted Mag Wheels - Extreme Makeover
That truck's a little high for my liking, but it's certainly my style of truck and the higher they are the less you have to worry about someone scratching it. Hard to tell if it's a 78-79 model...don't think so. Looks more like an 84-87 model judging my the mirrors?

And believe it or not... that's one of the reasons I like to drive big truck, you don't have to worry about some jacknut giving your ride a door ding or running their shopping car or rear bumper into you.
In fact, most peole try to avoid getting too close...

It's a 1975, last year for the FACTORY full convertible. I've owned 4 of these,
One 1969 Blazer CST
Two 1973 Blazer 4x4's
One 1975 Jimmy 4x4
And sometime down the road I'd like to get another one, something really sweet.

That trucks pretty cool! For your wheels you should stop by your local truck stop and get some rouge bars and airway buffing wheels to try. Youd fall in love. Thats what i use on the two trucks at work. A mirror finish in 1/4 of the time

Good morning,
Is there a extension adapter for the Rupes LHR 12E Duetto?
Thanks

No. There are no extensions for "orbital" polishers because they simply won't work. The pad is already "wobbly" on an orbital polisher. The further you move the pad away from the reciprocating components the MORE wobbly it would get.
It just doesn't work.
If you need to extend your reach to do buffing you need to use a rotary buffer with an extension or use tools like the RUPES iBrid Nano or go old school and work by hand.
Sorry that's probably not the answer you want to hear but that's the real-world answer.

Thanks, the rotary buffer looks similar to my 4" Milwaukee grinder and same threads .
But, grinder spins to fast, just a thought.
