Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Got the new (1953) engine off the truck before the rain.
No handy guy should be without a fork lift, even a 75 year old one.

 

Gotta be a personal Problem I hauled Miller XMT-304`s the bigger XMT-456 version and many different feeders behind the seats.

Perhaps because I did this a few times a week I got used to placing things back there maybe being able to carry 120 pounds in one hand helped as well

 

No matter how I try I just can`t get into the 4 door Trucks I wanted 4 Doors so got a 4Runner.

If I got one for free I would give it to the next person that wanted it

 

I used to feel the same way.

 

Second update on DIY bed stiffeners.

Ready for a test fit before paint. I think I will just use rattle can bed liner on them. Since I don't have access to powder coat

 

Well, I’m handy anyway….

 

You are smarter to not bring home a bunch of stuff that you need a fork lift to unload.
Previously getting it off the trailer was a limiting factor -- now it seems that storage space is the problem.
(must need a bigger garage, I'll mention it to the wife)

Yea I asked the same thing.
Retirement project.
Same answer lol

 

Yeah, your strength might be a factor lol. I have a small igloo ice chest that holds a 12 pack of beer and I could only make it fit in the back if I pulled my seat forward and went in between the front seats with it from the passenger side. It just annoyed me that they didn't have the suicide doors for cargo, even though I've heard that style of door is prone to leaking. It was at least on my friends 06 f150 extra cab, there was so much play in the rear doors that you could shove the front door open enough to see daylight since it engaged in the rear doors while they were closed.

 

Revisiting this real quick, I just filled up today. My instrument panel said 20.1, Fuelly said 19.9.

I'm sticking with it's still learning your driving instead of the previous owner so it'll get closer as you drive it more.

 

I'm running 2" on the back of my truck to match the LT on the front.

The calculator in my WRX has always been off by at least 2-3 mpg.

 

Morning all

 

Morning friends.

 

Good morning

 

Last day of school for the year for my kids!

And almost right out of the gate, my oldest is scheduled for a 12:00-10:00 shift on Monday.

I hope for his sake that doesn't become normal.

 

Good morning

 

There’s a Pepperidge Farm warehouse next to us, one of the guys just gave me these.

 

Love some Frank's.

But something tells me they didn't make those for kids.

 

Supposed to be flat
