You username turns a sweet orange. And you get promised decals that never arrive.

That's about it.

Also we're pretty sure it's just padding AK's estate, as he must have died from covid... no other reason someone could be so irresponsible as to take money for a product and then not provide the product.

Went to my brother's place and got his pool filter to use with my pool. He's taking his pool down.

My truck beat me up, and I'm feeling it. :icon14: Got the rear King shocks on. The King shocks are about 2.5" longer and are pressurized to 250 psi. I had to lift the rear of the truck up and have both rear tires off the ground. Bolt the top of the shocks in place. Then use a small bottle jack to lift the shock up so that I could lever it into place.

Got the front driver's side shock on. The front King shocks are about 4" longer. Disconnect the sway bar. Remove limit strap. Loosen up the master cylinder so that I could wiggle it. Jack the driver side up. Fight the old shock out. Start to install new shock. Jack the truck way up. Wiggle it into place. Mount the new remote reservoir. Had to move a ground cable to make room for the remote reservoir. The hole I was going to use stripped out. :mad: Had to retap the hole bigger and find another bolt to use.

I always hate changing shocks out on my truck. Not as fancy as yours though. I use Bilstein yellow/Blue. On my 2nd set.

Used, abused, and recycled reps. :tiphat:

The Bilstein yellow/blue was oem on my truck. I replaced them with custom valved Bilstein 7100 with remote reservoir. Now I got custom valved Kings. The Kings are massive. :eek: I'll post pic's tomorrow.

I know that feeling. I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. My knees were not hurting. Can't say that now.

Yesterday, I was working on my dad’s house when a friend of a friend stopped by for look and was really interested in it. We texted back and forth a couple of times last night, and made arrangements for him to bring his wife by today, and she loves it! Says he’ll have a purchase agreement @ full asking price tomorrow!

The house is a 2,300 sq. ft. Bi level 5 bed room 2 bath, 2 1/2 car garage with added on car port, on 4 secluded wood acres, surrounded by 3,800 acres of state land.

My mom passed away 25yrs.ago and although my dad kept up with the major updates, ( roof, windows, furnace, a/c.....) he didn’t do much on the inside and that’s why I’ve had the paint and flooring done.

What makes this a deal is the kitchen needs a total gut and the deck that stretches the length of the back of the house needs redoing, in total about 45k.... but this guy is in the trades and can do the needed work for about 1/2 that.
His house is ready to sell, so he can sell his present house at the top of the market and get out of the city, and buy dad’s house at below market due to needed repairs, and we ( as the price would go up accordingly ) can save 20k in brokers fees ! Win, Win !!

Hey there fellas, how's it going? Good weekend - lawn got the first cut of the season, spackling in the bathroom, surprise party for my FIL. Wife surprised me yesterday by attempting to replace the window motor in the truck. Got a little stuck midway through and needed a hand, but still I'm impressed she gave it a shot solo.

That's awesome! Sounds like an amazing property, well away from people (the best kind)! I'm glad it's working out so well for you Rick.
