I had a similar situation growing up only my mom would sew up the cuffs to the inside of the pant legs and when I needed to get them let out, the part that was sewn up in the leg had not faded the same as the rest of the pants and I ended up with a dark blue band around the bottom of my pant legs.
I had some like that. The edge of the cuff that rubbed against my leg would lose its color, so if they were jeans the line would be much paler then the rest of the leg. Once let out kind of reminds me of tree rings lol. If there were 2 white lines on one leg that meant she let the hem out twice. Actually showed you were growing.

I was the only boy, I had 3 sisters--all older. My mother used to get me the husky, but Idk if I really needed them or not. She was one of those "frugal" mothers lol. She'd buy clothes in a bigger size. She'd always say "Don't worry, you'll grow into it" lol. By the time I grew into my pants the bottom rears of the pants legs were always chewed up from walking on them, because those damn cuffs kept coming down! Also knees were blown out lol!! So by the time I grew into them they were trashed.
Lol. Sounds familiar. I was the only boy with 2 older sisters. That was definitely a good thing. They couldn’t give me the hand-me-downs. [emoji16] definitely cut corners to save $$ though!

Today I started fixing my Horse Fight dents.

Yes. Two fighting stallions hit my parked truck.

They came down the road fighting each other. Once they started hurling themselves in our direction, I knew something bad was going to happen.
Well that stinks.

Learned two things...

1. Somewhere in America there are actually wild horses roaming a beach.

2. Horses actually fight each other. Going to have to google what that looks like.

I don't know how I missed this the other day, looks great! I've been wanting to build a rear tire carrier for my 2 door, would you mind taking some detailed pics that would help myself and others out?

That swingout looks fantastic. I did something similar but I have to get the HiLift mounted and fab an extending pole to place under the swingout when it is wide open rather than letting the full weight of the gas cans and tire pull on the hinge. I just consider that a life extender to avoid any bending or twisting long term.
Mine has the extended pole too

Hello!
Native headlights have never been of good quality.
Moreover, a paraffin candle under the windshield gives more light).
With only 1% of intercity roads illuminated, this is a very sad fact.
Headlight modules (lenses) "Hella" in the bumper lip.
Middle - https://www.allhella.ru/catalog/mod...60mm-blizhniy-svet-modul-s-krepezhnoy-ramkoy/
Anti-fog - https://www.allhella.ru/catalog/mod...ivotumannogo-sveta-modul-s-krepezhnoy-ramkoy/
Using a plasma cutter, I formed four holes of 83 mm.
The stainless lip was designed in the style of the place of origin of the Car).
I inserted the lenses into the brackets and inserted the brackets into the lip.
Now, the light is quite good.
It remains to adjust correctly.
In the penultimate photo above the light from "Hella" there are two ridiculous spots from native headlights .....
Is the comparison inappropriate? ...)

Love the flags!! [emoji631][emoji631][emoji631][emoji631]
Yes!
If they are directly related to the topic.
In my handicraft collection there are several themed flags or symbolic pictures in stainless frames, stylized in the format of American numbers
For example:
"Confederate" for me represents Tradition and Protest.
"Crimson Union" is my Great Motherland.
And the third is the symbol of the troops where I served my military service.
I apologize for the distraction.
