Specially with the T-case attached. Your skin either turns green or you die if it falls on you.
Luckily this one is a 2WD. We need a damn lifting table, LOL.
Decided to wait on the valve body until morning. Ron's gonna get it heated up for morning. We have a rash of ugly weather ahead of us. I am also going to be splicing in a new pigtail on this thing.... Rostra has a pretty decent kit for it.
Was warm enough today to get some yardwork done.
Got the self-propelled lawnmower out to vacuum up the little leaves from the Elm tree.
Suckers are between a dime and a nickel in size, and a bugger to rake or pick up.
I just wish the self-propel didn't quit, harder to push than a regular push mower.
I was trying to run the mower out of gas and ran out of leaves, so I encroached into the neighbor's yard. lol
He came out and was mulching them while I was working in the yard.
Still warm out, well, above freezing. lol
I decided to Brillo the wheels on the Camaro to see how they would clean up.
Still have some dark pitting where the heavy rust was, but a polish and touch up with my chrome pen and they would be driver quality.
Tires are from 08 and junk in my opinion, but will be fun to burn off. lol
Pretty common bolt pattern so we could put them on a couple different cars.
The 2016 Trail Hawk ate a battery a little sooner than I thought it should, but that was the only problem with that one as well. I put in an Auto Stop/Start defeat module to cut that out. (I'm *sure* I pulled that module before it left the driveway for the last time, but have no idea what I did with it.) Loved oil filter changes on that V6. The cartridge is right on top.
I finally got some real sleep last night for the first time this week, and am just starting to feel human again. Thank you, Z-pak! My doc was out of the office yesterday, so I tried an online service which was recommended by a coworker: www.GoodMDs.com. Filled out a form, hit submit, and forty (!) minutes later got a notification that my script was ready. I wouldn't rely on it for anything unknown or serious, but in this case, it was perfect. Only $39 for the service, too.
The first battery went out within two years iirc. After it was replaced under warranty its been pretty dependable. It doesnt stop the jeep dealer from trying to upsale her every time she takes it in for a service job though. Those cartridge filters up top were the only good thing about the 4cyl chevy duratec engine my wife had. Lol
Im happy to hear you will be back to normal sooner rather than later!

That's pretty crazy. I never considered insurance fixes to be so profitable.
There's more people now then ever that don't pay attention to their driving. You can do very well in auto body if you can hack doing it all the time. That's a hard one to like enough to make a career out of.

Yup. Used to HATE daylight driving lights.
Now I run with lows + fogs, so idiots will see at least TWO lights in their side mirrors, cuz you can safely ignore one, as every idiot knows.
But I do plan to rig mine for optional daylight driver's lights. Lower the wattage. (Even a hair lower V lets costly bulbs last way longer. It's science and non-linear.)
