Re: What did you get done 5/7/2012

Sorted out the vaccume lines on the Q-jet, now I have all 4 ports working, hurray! Never again will I let a workshop do any kind of adjustments on my engine, they are all so in to fuel injection these days that they go crazy when they have to work on a carb.
Mounted lights to my rollbar / lightbar, didnīt have time to wire them in yet, but they look good.
Oh, and not truck related, picked up my new (to me) boat, 2003 Stingray

Finally put some new bumpers on the front and rear of my stepside, installed custom taillight brackets, and installed wood in the bed. It was a busy weekend.

2.5" spindles in the front and 2" shackles and 2" hangers on the back. I think it needs to be an inch lower all around though. The tires are 28", don't know the exact size.

Re: WHat did you get done 5/6/12 edition

I didn't do anything to my truck, but I did use it to make some $. I do a little carpentry work on the side. Normally I haul all my tools on a utility trailer, but I had to use it for all the rotted wood from my job. So threw the toolbox back on it, loaded with new wood, ladders, and stuff, aired up the shocks. Work truck!
