  1. I've had a jawbreaker jack for ages but I don't off-road so I've got no jack points for it. It's just my winch, post-puller, and pretty great for the riding mower. Definitely one my favorite, albeit dangerous, #tools.

    Harbor Freight put their Badland jack on sale for ITC members starting today. Still a heap of dosh but I've watched enough reviews to know I'll be at their door this morning. Anything to make #wrenching on the truck, on the lawn, a little easier. Rear drums are coming up next.

  4. LubeLogger has been a great addition to the #homelab so far. I went ahead and back dated all the recent parts and fluid purchases into the system, entered the dates of the work performed, recent refueling, etc. It's nice to have an ongoing log, and to have all recurring services scheduled in it. As long as I'm mindful to keep the odometer reading updated, or sufficient time has passed, it'll let me know what's coming up.

  7. Truck is 99.9% done. I'd been waiting for the freezing temps to pass to start flushing it out. Block drains are seized so I can't drain as much coolant as I'd like to at once, but I've just gotten 2.75 gallons of distilled water into it. I estimate means about .5 to .75 gallons of coolant still in the block. Probably take a few flushes before it runs clear.

    Better still, I'm way below quotes I've seen for the job and I've loads of tools to show off for the savings.

  10. Wrench day on the friends VW. End links, lower arms, and tie rod ends (she rattles!). Started with the end links... driver side, just a few minutes. Pax side ... hours :S

  21. Been a little while with no progress, but my friend came over yesterday and helped me drop the engine out. 5 bolts and the entire block drops then slides out sideways! Far lighter than we expected, too.

    Got the bottom end dismantled and sadly it seems like the problem isn't what we thought it was, although we did find another suspect shaft collar under 1st gear plus the bearing next to it, both of which will be getting replaced just in case.
