What did you do with your truck/shop today

[Jsdirt]

I can't find things that are right in front of me on some jobs. If I paint everything but scissors and brake clean, I might be better off, lol.

If i did that, id be back where i was before i went to Home Depot. Looking for that one socket that is the same color as all the others

[Jsdirt]

Yeah, you have a point there - it would be the same with me. Gonna need 67 different colors of paint ...

I painted my SnapOn 13/16 impact socket a bit ago. I spend about 10 minutes looking for it every time i need it. This should help

Mine is easy to find. It's in my glove box.

I can find my wheel sockets. Truck is 22mm, most cars are 19mm, and most SUVs and smaller trucks are 21mm. The rest of my tools I lose right in front of my face, lol

 

There's a Chevy Suburban driving around with my short 1/4" drive extension and a 8mm socket trapped inside a pocket in the door that can only be reached from under the mirror by gravity. Tried retrieving it with my magnet - no chance in hell. It's a wormhole to another dimension ...

Just changed the radiator in my brother's 95 Silverado

Yep - another victim of the "cheaper-is-better" mentality of the modern automaker. That thing was great - it used to reach all the way to the tailgate on my '94 K1500.

 

Used it quite a few times, namely when my 3k mile u-joint change I did without a press came unglued at 22:00 on a rural road. Spit the driveshaft right out of the rear yoke. I used that light to yank the shaft, and drove home in 4wd using the front wheels, leaving a trail of ATF for miles, LOL!

^^^ Had one on my 90, it was cool.

No i want my gmc back getting fixed tomorrow. I'm currently sitting at the shop waiting on the 86 to get an alignment.

The truck is back!! She was ready since this morning but I just got home with her after a good 30 mile drive. The shop aso did a 25 mile test drive this morning and everything checked out perfectly.

 

Now I need to do the left side tie rod ends and get an alignment, along with giving her a good cleaning inside and out. And I'm waiting in the Michelin defenders to come out in my size some time in june.

Ive had this light for 2 years, been meaning to hang it, but it has been sitting on an end table unused. I decided to put it out in the garage

It has been in my livingroom for 2 years. I got tired of it sitting there not being used
