Just spent the last 5 weeks fixing cladding that was wrongly installed. Even had vinyl tape wrapped around some mounting pucks to tighten the fit. What happens to vinyl tape when it gets very warm? Yup. Cladding was warping away from the body creating major gaps. Had to heat & reshape, along with fix the poor mounting areas. The overall finish isn't as nice as it was a year ago, but no more loose & gapping cladding. Also put on the new single layer Sportmachines/Stickerbomb decals. They ROCK.:tup:]

Now have to wait for this crappy weather to clear up so I can terrorize the streets again.

Put the plugs wires on the right plugs... (number 2&4 swapped).

FYI: Carpal tunnel gives you baby hands, and even plug wires are a fkking chore.

Checked out the garage. Engine swap, same headers, same turbo. You know how fun it is to pull it out, and back in again.

Powerwashed the engine again, every time I do something to it I always stare at all that oil all over the place and powerwash it but it seems to never end

Got the box out this morning
20130523_093153_zpsdeea75e1.jpg

Only had a small ratchet, a 10m socket and some channel lock pliers, went ballistics on the damn box after I dropped my socket and it landed on the a-arm and I couldn't get it the sucker out, had to go back home and shower again since I got wet with sewer water on the street when i went under the truck trying to get the socket. 8:45 and I stopped now after I get off I might start dealing with the ac wires.
RIP box

And a screw driver under your I/C reservoir

At first I was excited that you could get that done with only those few tools. But now that I've seen you used a screwdriver as well. Unimpressed.

My ass. Look at it.

Because thats what I had available at the time and my brother took the keys for the tool box and I wasnt gonna let a few screws stop me, I had 1.5 hours before it was opening time so I just chopped that piece of chet.

Not once I have used defrost, heater was bypassed since I bought the truck and I never replaced the core, I used the ac twice, first week when I bought the truck, took it to RPM and my water temp hit over 220 with the ac on, ac off and it went to 190ish so I never turned it on again till last month, ac was on for about 8 min and apparently my blower decided to die and short one of my alternator fuses in the process causing me to be stranded for some time until I called DaveP and he found the problem in minutes. Thats what set me off and thus resulting in this whole thing ive been doing for the past weeks. A/C delete has always been on my list and now with all that free space I just want to jump inside the bay and sleep on it.
Pending pics of everything finished and cleaned up.:tup:
