Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Torque wrench on spark plugs, we need answers so cast your vote now

hell yeah....

 

Truck tags were due so Cole and I went to the DMV office after work yesterday. I had 24,000 lbs of weight on it but since I sold my gooseneck I don't need that much. I switched it to 10,000 lbs. and took the truck tags off and put regular tags on it, they went from $401 to $54

Now I can put that savings towards our insurance that is due that went up $500

 

so, I came up with around $2400.00 for the compressor (outside unit) and the inside coils 10 year warrantree, imma need some odds-n-ends but cant be more than a couple hunski's I hope....

 

He used pressure treated so it should be OK...

 

Absolutely. The wood will last longer than the frame

 

Only note I’d have is definitely flush the pipes (add that material cost), and a new dryer. The old stuff and new aren’t compatible, especially if you used the 22A as a temp.

 

The first day I got my old Ranger I was coming back to the garage and saw a deer head pop up directly in front of the passenger headlight at about 45 mph. The deer had come out of a ditch.
!

There was a crunch and I watch the deer fly up in the air and go upside down and butt first past the passenger window, I actually looked under the deer, it was almost over the cab.

The only damage was the outer edge of the bumper pushed back, 10 minutes with a jack and you couldn't tell it was ever bent.

 

We got a save the date thing for my niece's wedding yesterday for next May. To say I am surprised is an understatement, I'm glad though.

Ive come close a few times. I ran over top of a fawn in idaho, i also had one thump the side of truck, i saw it hobbling up hill but i didnt have a good flashlight in truck to see if it was messed up too bad.

Most mine been near misses...somehow.

 

Good morning shop crew. Have a great Tuesday!

 

Kid stopped home last night after a trip to the body shop. They said $4k.

Glad it's not going on my insurance and more importantly, the kid that backed into him did the right thing.

 

$4k

 

I don't know how the vehicle goes together but if one part needs to be replaced, there are no seams anywhere in it.

 

It can be sectioned. The manufacturer even has instructions on different areas how to stitch it in. Pretty cool process.

 

@Tacoma Mike @koditten I just saw this welding table that pivots on a bowling ball, let the pressure off the jack, tilt, add pressure.
