    Dash faceplate

    My dad had this liquid stainless steel in a spray can. I painted a metal pump with it. They said it was safe on plastics, so I considered trying it out on my dash. I might still, but this looks good. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I've seriously never swung my big f'in hammer that many times. Flattened a chisel pretty good, did a bit of cursing, then talking nice to it, then talking mean to it, trying to reason with it, etc. It was quite an ordeal. Look at all that rust dust. They were just shot. One side rusted tight...

    Thanks for the luck, brother. Believe me, I needed it. Those few jeep jobs I did seemed like a walk in the park compared to this sumbitch. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    1981 door lock switch

    I'm not sure I know the difference between an 81 and 82. I bought my 87 ones on Ebay. Dorman. Cheap as hell.

    So any tips to getting this joint out? I haven't started yet. Took a beer and snus break. I've done a few before, just not on a k10. Usually it just involves a bfh, a screwdriver, a torch, and some anger and cursing. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    This joint is fucking toast. I had to practically stand on it to bend it one way, but there's about a quarter inch of slack on the other side. lol.... I'm gonna let it soak for a second before I tackle that inevitable pain in the ass. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Dont tell anyone I used a Taiwanese chromed socket on my impact, k? Taiwan isn't even spelled correctly on it. Two n's. Not even kidding. I'm surprised it didn't break just attaching it to my gun, but it zipped all those nuts off. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    I just took a beer break from this front end job. I'll tell you what, that spindle was stuck tight as hell. But then I remembered the prayer thread and thought "hmm....could it work?". So I prayed. And by god that rusted spindle fell right off! Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Green Dex G05 or one size fits all

    I hear you. I also think oil has come a long way. Remember the Quaker state sludge? Probably a similar thing. I've seen it twice. Is it because of 100,000mile oci's? I dont know, but I quit running Quaker state oils. Haha.... Oh, and I was rebuilding an engine once and slipped in the mud and...

    Well it's not really a question is it? Rotella T6 in everything from a lawnmower to trucks to my CBR1000. Haha..... But seriously, I never really understood the crazy oil thing. I've used them all. I tend to use rotella a lot. Cheap, and cheaper with the rebates they do. Mobil 1 some. Also has...

    Welp, just figured out my front end noise. Fucking drivers side u-joint. No doubt about it. I figured as much. Looks like its spicer/Miller time. Lol.... Now I need to decide how far I want to go with this. Ugh. Reminds me of that time I did u's in one of my jeeps and i needed a hand from my...

    I hear ya, big ten. I remember one of the first big jobs me and my dad did.....a rear main seal in a Ford van. We were in his work garage for like 10hrs straight. I was pretty tired by the end of it, but I learned a lot. I was maybe 10? Looking back, it was a hell of a good time. Haha...

    Spark plug wire opinions

    I used to like accel wires. Kinda funny because I put a yellow set of accels on a red engine once (from a buddy for $10) and got ribbed for it looking like a McDonalds engine. I wouldn't do that to you, though.

    That was an absolute clusterfuck. Some cool trucks there for sure, though.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Decided to throw some manual hubs on to replace the stock autos for a couple of reasons.......1, there's a clicking/clunking noise in 4wd that's pissing me off and 2, I had a $20 coupon about to expire and a 30% off code on top of it. $30 for hubs ain't bad. My passenger side stocker was oddly...
