    $30. I can always leave it on my doorstep or right inside or beside the side garage door. Might even be able to hang it from the clip. :D

    I live on base at cannon. I drove past the neighborhood that was literally covered by them. I was in awe with how many there was.

    so, wrench day... Who needs what?

    I've got a flywheel, u-joints, LBJs, etc, etc. As I need to pull the transmission to get the flywheel done, I'm going to need more than half the garage to get it done. So depending on who else needs what, it may have to be a wrench weekend or split between weekends where I do my shit on one weekend and I open up the garage to whomever needs it on another.

    One of the big things is, I do not have a jack and stands. If you need to jack up your truck and you don't have hi-lift points, we'll have to beg, borrow or buy.

    Right now, no guarantees on having this. I need to get this stuff done on mine and willing to accommodate if a workable plan can be made.

    I would like my lift installed, and some other small things that doesn't need the garage. I would like to help with your maintenance for sure. Would like to learn new things

    wrench weekend is looking like Feb 15-17.

    Tentative Plan:
    1. Start time of 10am on the 15th.
    2. Work on other people's stuff first.
    3. Plan to transition to my stuff around 2pm-ish.

    Tentative work:
    1. Tacodane's Lift
    2. TomTom's flywheel, LBJs, u-joints, etc.

    I'm ok with taking on jobs expected to take 4-6 hours. Be ready with a plan and torque values. For those being hosted, we will finish what we start. Start time is 10am sharp. Can fit a second vehicle in with Tacodane's.

    Anyone looking for garage space and use of tools, let me know by 8pm tonight.

    Food and drink will be provided but donations welcome.

    Unless I am out of town or have other plans, my garage is typically open most any Saturday and Sunday. Request two weeks notice to coordinate.

    Looks like the Girl Scout Cookie Meet isn't happening this year. Just checked dates and initial orders were supposed to be in on Jan 26. :(

    More than welcome to borrow my jacks and stands again. I should have 4-6 stands and at least 2 big bottle jacks if you guys need them.

    I may be in for wheel bearings and have a set of eyes check things out to see if anything else needs to be done at a future time. Just have to see if the parts get here in time which I am pretty certain they will.
