Tell me you don't wash dishes without telling me you don't wash dishes

 

He use the dish washer...

 

They take too long.

Though when we use ours, I always remind my wife to make sure and add rinse aid; always comes out crystal clear.

 

I use dishwasher detergent for my hands at shop more than dishes.

 

Same here

 

I find the waterless hand soap to be useful as hell.

Mainly out of convenience when I need to stay in the garage but quickly clean up a hand or two to grab the phone or something else I don't want to get grease on.

 

Gotcha. Ya good point on the salt.

Yea fair enough. There is no getting around touch up when you wheel your shit. I guess I'm just trying to see what options there are out there like what @Yota X is using that's tougher than your traditional rattle can.

Only time I didn't have a dishwasher was a couple years in college and we just used regular old dawn.

 

Too humid today w all the rain to paint but got gear and axle ready for tomorrow.



also welded my drain line to pan. What a royal pain in the dick. Pot aluminum is the worse especially since I haven’t welded any aluminum. Burned myself multiple times and burned up my tungsten like 10x.



And no, I didn’t grind that. It just looks like a smooth joint cause it took everything in my power to bond it to the nice aluminum fitting. I just melted it like ice cream basically.

 

Got some paint done today.

 

really cool so far, making good use of my time at school clicking through this lol. makes me want to go solid axle

 

When can I drop mine off?

 

How are you painting the parts of the housing that the truss covers? just get in there best you can and call it good?

These are best for cleaning hands, oils, bloods, grease, right off.

 

When we gonna collaborate and build a proper truck?

That poly cotton sounds nice. Gonna have to try! If they work for you out in the field for clean up then they work for anyone!

 

Front ready to go. 12 hours of prep and paint (cleaning and alcohol plus paint only) on axle, knuckles and gear. Time flies when you're outta time and money.

 

I was out of money before I even started

The struggle is real

 

Went for a drive..... need to go through locker switch, antirock sway, finish skid, design tower cover for the bed, re-install rock light, among a few other things.

 

Looks good. Is the fenders already cut for full bump? Frame height and up travel numbers? Did you end up going to 16 in shocks?

 

No trimming yet. The rear is stretched and will hit the lowest rear part of the bed but smog is priority atm. The front sits higher than I like, I ordered taller towers and will redo this winter. There's ~3 inch gap between current tower and hood. The front is at 29 and rear at 27. With the taller tower, I hope to bring it down to 27 to match the rear. I end up sticking with 14s since they'll be hard to sell, not everyone want to go 2.5 c/o.

Always a good feeling the first fire up and drive out of the shop, now go hit the trails!
