Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Change the rear shocks on my truck and one of the bolts were frozen inside the shock. Lucky for me it was the lower one. Was able to cut it out with a sawzall that was no fun.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Started painting my new wheels today. I've had these for almost 2 years, but was waiting on needing new tires

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Thanks, Andy! I didn't feel like paying to have the tires swapped over to the new wheels when I first got them, so they sat in those boxes on the shelf since

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Installed KYB Gas-A-Justs to try to keep the top of my tires off the fender well. They help some over the standard Monroes, but still touch when in tight corners.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I put the doors, fenders, cowl, & cowl extensions back on the truck for the last time until final prep and paint. I still have to work on gap alignments on the cowl extensions, cowl, and hood, and I also need to block out the hood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Greased all of the front end zerk fittings...didn't realize there were so many! Hopefully that will take care of my squeaking front end.
