I’ve had this golf net for 15 years and never used it. Long ago lost the original poles. I bent up a new frame out of 3/4” EMT Today

Screwing around with cheap lighting to figure out how I want to lay it out.

Replaced the coolant reservoir on the Cruze. It had a few micro cracks in it and I saw it misting out coolant. Hopefully that makes us slightly water tight for a while.

Stock wheel/tire/suspension wrangler with a 72mm spacer. And he wonders why he needs wheel bearings and axle u-joints. I swear Jeep owners huff paint for fun

 

[v6buicks]

That's horrendous.

You forgot the giant ass tires he probably hung off that too......

Naturally stock brakes.

Bought this track bar 6-7 years ago and finally installed it with the lift kit I’ve had installed the same amount of time.

My last 1/2” bit, the whole shell of the taper came out. Started getting worried when it kept stalling the drill and I didn’t want to shear off a hardened bit and the next thing I know it’s spinning in reverse and forward with the shell on the end of the bit. Just need to center the steering wheel and bring this thing to get aligned. Although, I tested it at 75 on the highway and I’m downright terrified by how GOOD it drives. No death wobble. No wandering. Thing goes straight as an arrow and I’ve never touched any of the geometry besides adding the lift.

Installed my new Roll N Lock M Series XT tonneau cover. It’s pretty damn slick. Vinyl over aluminum. I believe it has the smallest canister of all the roll up types. Plus it has T slots. Soon I am going to mount my new Rhino Rack for bikes and kayaks. The mounts will go into the T slots. It looks so clean.

fancy.

Annual wash and wax for the family hauler aka college kiddo and stuffs transport vehicle. It’s like cleaning a damn condo, and requires a step stool to get the top:

Finishing up fixing this thing...again

Wood saw dust collector ... Hopefully they actually fixed the root problem this time

Got pissed after replacing lines and not pulling vacuum on a fleet ride. Machine won't let me inject dye without vacuum and I couldn't hear the leak with the vacuum pump. Shop has an auto body grade air dryer so no worries about water and I improvised. Less than 50 bucks and I won't ever bother with dye and a light again.

Clock that no longer matches our stair well.

We found it for $30 at a flea market a few years ago, so I figured I'd try to make it match. It certainly wouldn't be cheaper to replace it.

Just need to paint that upstairs hall way and this should pop. Not perfect, but I'll take it.

looks good, but its crooked

It looks crooked, but it's an illusion. It doesn't sit flat against the wall which is something I still need to fix.

Why if he had stock wheels/tires/suspension?

Working some more on this today. final coat of black on the last side piece. Then when that dries overnight, some gloss top coat on the side pieces and the 4 best vertical pieces. I have some more painting of the cabinets to do, the side that was near this shelving, which wasn't accessible earlier. I'm going to paint those and then also paint the cheap garage speakers black to match while I have the black paint out. Will probably take 3-4 days for everything to be done and put back together and my garage to be back in a presentable state.
