Exactly, had a buddy say why bother saving aluminum cans. He might get 5 or 10 bux but everytime he goes he gets a tire puncture and has to spend all the money from the scrap or more getting it fixed.

We bring in ALOT of people with beer cans. The only place you chance getting a flat or any kind of puncture is near our "tin pile" where most of the junk goes. The rest of our yard is relatively safe.

Relatively but not completely judging from your new studded tire.
And you were just in the parking lot, not even in the yard. :(

Truck has been bleeding me dry last few weeks. New mufflers, tips and bought a step bumper last weekend. And all this showed up today! Brand new alternator squeaks. Not happy at all!

Came out for lunch and the tires flat as a board. Blew it up, plugged it and rotated it to the rear in case of explosion and soon found my rear brakes are so far out of adjustment that the drum pretty much came off with the wheel. Guess i know what ill be doing this weekend...

Picked up the steel I had cut for my flatbed project to make sides for it.

After the new wheel cylinders, i put in new front calipers and brake hoses. I bled the brakes out, stomped on them a bunch of times, and the prop valve reset itself and my brake light went out!! Thank God!
Then I drove around the yard a few times and re-bled everything until the fluid was clearish. The pedal is much better now.

Then I installed that new passenger side wheelhouse with new clips and bolts, and I put in a new battery tray.
That was actually worse than I expected. The bolts on the radiator support were so rusted I had to grind them and drill them out. Ugh.
Kinda cool not having my battery resting on a ******* 2X4 that I'd propped in the fender, though. :D

Im actually thinkin thats why my light is on because my backs arent even hitting the drums and the prop valve is thinking ive lost my rears. Also my fronts are starting to squeal so i think ive figured out my brake light issue.

Oh, and I got a new set of lug nuts.
Those stock ones are complete ******* garbage. Chrome covers on them? Wtf?

I bought a set on Amazon for $21 and at least they're solid. I'm hoping the chrome holds up, but I think since I doused them in eezox, they should be fine.
