My buddy’s Tacoma once routed us through Compton at midnight rather than taking a left back on to the freeway we had taken to get where we were. The AW11 was being pulled behind us, and we made every effort to not stop.
As referenced earlier, that’s a Light My Fire Spork. My favorite feature is that it comes in a size Extra-Medium.
I always thought that the acquisition of tools was the best part. Once you get the cost of tools out of the way, and the frustration of doing it the first time, it’s all easy from there and you can knock it out again without issue.
That is a spectacular idea. I’m stealing that method. Thank you.
As a former, and likely future, truck owner I can tell you that although you only need a truck every once in a while now, once you own a truck you will find a use for it pretty much all the time.
On the output shaft of the clutch there is a sprung dog-leg coupler with asymmetric female mating surfaces (one side is ramped, one side is square).

You can have all of these things. You just order the parts you want, and install them (this is sometimes easier said than done). Some assembly required, your mileage may vary, etc.
You could probably throw an ugly stick weld on that, not one that'd hold up mind you but one that'll get you back on the track. TIG doesn't like rust, especially not that much.
That is all anyone needs, really.
