What is it and why is it there?
« on: September 07 2011, 10:20:49 PM »
I found these on the frame, inside the rear wheel well, on both sides. 

They feel like plastic caps that are just pushed into a hole on the frame that read HS.

What are they and what are they for?

Here is another question...

Why does the passenger side of the bumper have these bolt/studs and the right side doesn't?

Some claim the frames were made by the HarvestStore division of A O Smith.

That tag...is likely the code for the frame from the vendor. Today...bar codes are used.

Yeah being Canadian I like my Whiskey but Canadian Club is barely middle of the road.


Want a good cost effective Canadian Rye ?


"Alberta Premium won "Canadian Whisky of the Year" in Jim Murray's 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Whisky Bibles".


One of the few made with 100% rye grain.


I like a good single malt Scotch too  :icon_eyes:
