What did you get your truck/shop: Christmas edition.

[bnoon]

Since we're in the holiday spirit of giving (and receiving) presents, what did you get for your truck this year? I got some tools not directly connected to my personal truck, but I got a Ryobi cordless angle grinder so I can remove those rusted bolts at the salvage yard and makes grabbing emblems from rotted fenders easier too. Two of the large capacity Lithium Ion batteries too. And plenty of cash. Enjoying the online shopping so far this morning, nothing actually ordered yet because I keep changing my mind, but I might have a transmission coming by sometime this weekend.

So what did you get or what are you buying yourself for your truck (or shop) for Christmas?

I'm keeping it simple this year; a pickle fork. But I have been eyeing those lithium mini boost packs, because after having used one, I've gone from skeptic to believer.

I used one of the small jump boxes the other day at the salvage yard (guy at the desk loaned it to me). I had to power up the seats to move them forward so that I could reach the rear the rear mounting bolts. It was a small one about the size of a child's lunch box, but these new ones are crazy small!!! I've never needed one before but I still think it would be fun to have one.

I got pb hood hinges from the wife and chevrolet ls valve covers from a board member

My wife got me an air hose/ reel and a 3/8 drive air gun son got me another hose and reel I bought myself a new roll away ( it sold for $600 but I bought a floor model and had $400 in free money so it cost me $115 after I talked the guy down) I also bought myself some new sockets, a Mac Tools hex torx set a matco ratchet and assorted other hand tools

Finished my body work class so I figured I'd better get a compressor (at least that is my justification for spending the money):

Nice! What's the CFM rating on that?

[tinydb84]

13cfm. It was $499 but if you look on slickdeals they have a thread on how to figure out the coupon codes. I bought it online with a code for 10% off and picked it up at my local store.

I still dropped another $200 in black pipe, valves, fittings, hose, wire, etc...

Yeah all of the peripherals will cost you just as much as the compressor, especially if you're doing paint work (water/oil separators/etc.). I need to plumb some of my stuff in still like I had at my other garage (3/8" overhead real and small 1/4" feed to coil cord for small air blaster and air brush setup on the bench).

Installed a furnace in the shop and couple days ago got it to run without issue. Warm garage in the winter will be a new first for me.

[Oldriginal86]

New power window motors and switches.

Summit gift card and some cash. Im pretty indecisive when buying things so it's a curse as much as a blessing. I had a pair of 6x9s in my hand today for the cab corners then put them back. Don't know if adding those to the 3.5s in the dash, the 6.5 components in kick panels, and the 10" sub behind the seats I already have planned will be overkill or not.

Got my rim. Now I finally have four.

[enaberif]

$40 for both. Bit dirty and one is in much better shape than the other.. but either way

I used part of my Christmas bonus from my employer and bought 2 new 275 60 15 mastercraft avenger GT tires ($199) to match the other 2 I already had. Also bought a front air deflector from LMC ($40 and not as good as the original) and this actual steering wheel from ebay.

I bought my 86 a 2004 LQ9 that came wrapped in a Escalade ESV Platinum. Now I just need to unwrap it.

My girlfriend gave me this stuff.
