    Happy Friday.
    Let’s see what trouble I can get into this weekend, and by trouble I mean doing stuff on the truck.

    Happy Friday from the gulag known as New Yorkistan to you CT folks!

    Dropping the wife off at the airport this evening and everything is here to do my lift. With a little luck I'll be calling the alignment shop to schedule an alignment next weekend. Gonna do the old "tape measure toe and go" so I can put a couple hundred miles on it next week and hopefully get the front springs settled in a little before the alignment.

    Happy Friday!

    All the pc talk from a couple weeks ago has me wanting to build a pc for gaming. Always been on console but I have an itch for stepping it up for better graphics and performance.

    Unfortunately, I don’t. Let me know if you end up finding someone good that does.

    The back half of the truck is in the carport. Going to start by doing the rear shocks and AAL and see how it goes before tearing into the front. Surprisingly, my son said he'd like to help (he's not into motorized stuff like I was at 16) so it'll be a cool father/son project.

    How old is the truck? Be ready to cut the top bolts on the rear shocks to get em out. Mine were corroded so bad the bolt wouldn't unscrew past the top lol

    I fluid filmed the hub faces before reinstalling the front rotors when I did my front brakes.
