Sandman614's #expoenough Build

Nothing to see here, stock truck

 

With an Overland Bound badge!

 

#foolwithmytool

@bradleg coming at you, ECGS puller, driver tool, and stock bearing someone left in the box

 

Picked up these EBC BSD7237 Blade Rotors since I wasn't able to finish the checkout process on AdvanceAuto website for the same Stoptech Rotors I had. Gonna pair them with a new set of Hawk pads.

 

Wheelers is OOS on my OME control arms, but at least they reached out to let me know. Should be back Dec 4th and will ship then.

 

Picked up an Air Zenith OB2 compressor last night from fb marketplace. Initial test with thumb over the line it builds good pressure. I need to get a gauge on it. Dude was saying that it pumps up but sometimes slows down and he thought it might need a new seal or valve. Air zenith sells a reseal kit with a new piston so that's on it's way.

I just redid my whole garage. Ran 2 6/3 to nema6-50 outlets on each side of my garage, through bored joist holes, ran 12/2 down each wall on seperate breakers, new light circuit for indoor lights, new circuit for outdoor lights, garage door sensors and button wiring in walls/roof. Not too bad of a job except for climbing over all my shit and moving it a dozen times..



Getting started.



Yeswelder hood, oldass Hobart 120 frankensteined back together with eBay euro whip and some other feeder parts.. Warped as shit!



Progress. Also realized I miscounted the pieces of angle I needed.. I need another 16ft








Figured it would be best to "cap" the mitered corners with some plates before drilling and tacking on some nuts for leveling feet. Don't judge, it's Flux Core.. That'll be the last of the welding finally.



'Finished' product I might find a piece of rubber or stainless for the top but it'll do for now. I've got a chainsaw to get to work on.

 

tried for 35mins on hold to reach Mr. Heater for new hinges for my Basecamp fridge... Just got online chat support with Whynter and got a link to an authorized retailer and have the parts on the way. Gotta love China knock-offs of knock-offs

Well that's only one hinge... Should have read the fine print... and now they are out of stock... Duct tape and super Glue it is....

@SearArtist sold me a lemon

 

SOLD AS-IS, BUYER BEWARE

 

What no warranty, years later, for it falling out of the back of my truck on the road??

 

These just look out of place.. OME UCA's are too clean

#maintenance alignment after replacing the UCA's

 

Project garage cleanup starts with a mess, well I guess it really starts with moving around shit and getting things gone.

 

Parts on the shelf waiting to be installed:

Rear wheel bearings
Cam gears 3* exhaust retard timing
Valve cover gaskets ^
Front wheel bearings(long term standby)
Brake Rotors/Pads
Alternator 130a towing

 

Since my truck came with the tow package does that mean I have a 130a one?
