That is nicer than a lot of living or family rooms. I bet you never leave.
The floors were just finished this year. 14 years after building the shop.

They clean up a lot easier and nicer than unsealed cement.



It's my favorite place to be in the winter I just wish there was a lift.

Got my driveshaft back today



Also dropped the fuel tank. So much for it being empty. The gauge read empty but there has to be 12-15 gallons in the damn thing.



If you look on the passenger side frame rail where it's boxed you will see how much dirt is caked on this frame. It took me forever to drop the tank and pull the fuel pickup out. There has easily been 100+ pounds of dirt pulled off so far. Just getting the tank straps out took a BFH and chisels to get the cemented dirt out.

I put oil back in it today, just let the RTV cure over the weekend on the upper and lower oil pans.

Pulled the up-pipe heat shields off, passenger up pipe, and downpipe as well. Its way easier to take off when the trans isn't in the way or working from the topside laying on a couch pillow. lol

Not much else I can do till the frame is done. I suck at welding so that's something I won't attempt.




Also I was going through my photobucket and found a photoshop I did on my Extended cab I sold this spring and made it into a regular cab.

Hood and bed will be different but you get the idea.

That's the plan. Going to be a fun truck too.

Is it legal to drive around with those led bars on? I've seen a few running around, they're bright as piss but just wonder if they are technically "legal" to have on?

I would say they are not legal. I don't have it on around traffic though, just when I'm on country roads at night usually when my brights are on.

I have it wired to come on if I press my fog light switch, and it comes on automatically when I flip my high beams on.

Spent the day taking Christmas lights down.







We ended up taking down lights on a house we are doing next year. One tree had 46 strands of lights on it. We barely got them all down even with 51' of vertical reach.

Truck went to the frame shop last night. Can't wait to see it shortened up.

Not truck related but I finally got my hands on a nice box (that's what she said)

Paid 2500 bucks for it. Snap On Classic 96.

Guy had it two years at his home garage and was retiring. He didn't want to part with any of the tools though.

Not a single scratch on it. Just needs a good waxing.



I wish the cabinet was drawers but oh well.
