    I did a thing today, it ain’t much and only took an hour. I’ve had these uppers over a year now and have dreaded putting them in, but it was easy as shit...my parts pile is getting smaller. The she-shed is completely clear of truck parts minus my 35’s.

    yeah. I reckon the people who haven’t really worked on cars, are the ones making it out to be more difficult than it really is.

    still wish I could find a job...sitting at home all the time sucks.

    So trying to get ready for the beach next week. I wanted a fshing rod holder for the cab rack but they were all pretty pricey. I decided to make one using PVC tube and some strap steel. Seems to work and not much wind noise. Any ideas on what I may have done wrong are welcome I can change after we get back. It's not to stay up there all the time.
