It's amazing what new headlight housing do. Brightened up the front of the '05 Burb just like yours did. My suburban is the same color as your cat eye.

Drove ~6hrs yesterday in the muck but cleaned up nicely today

Looks great, tell me more - I just can't keep up with all car models

Porsche Something or Other I think.

I've only kicked the lights on to make sure they work. They claim to be adjusted from the factory but I haven't verified it yet. They do appear to be easy to adjusted if needed.

That's awesome! I've kicked myself the last few years for not buying the integrated Bronco camper I saw locally. They're rare and super cool.

This has been catching my attention on FBM:

Oh, I would be all over that for no other reason than the uniqueness.

Changed the oil in my wife's 4Runner. If I see the tech at Mike Calvert Toyota again, I would like to punch that dip sheet right in the nose. I had to get out my breaker bar to loosen the oil filter cap. It was too much even for my M12 impact driver to break loose.

If you buy that you are required to paint "The Good Old Boys" on the side

A few years ago I sold a motorcycle (2005 V-Strom) and a few weeks ago I saw it on FB marketplace and bought it back. It just fits me like a glove and I missed it too much.

There's been some questionable work done to it over the last two owners so i'm going about setting things right.

Job one was that somebody drilled through the kickstand and bolted on a piece of aluminum to make a bigger foot. It was loose and rattly and the screws were stripped so I tried to pry it off but the steel part (now swiss cheesed) came with it.


So I cut out a chunk of scrap steel and layed down some perfect TikTok-able beads.....


And then I painted it. Looks fine and it'll hold....



After that I cleaned the throttle body on my 2005 Volvo XC70. Made a MASSIVE difference in idle and throttle response.

That "gorilla" weld is why they make 4 in grinders and abrasive wheels.......

I usually try to pretty up my pathetic welding, but I was in a hurry and this is kinda fiddly. One of my to-do projects is to build a welding table/cart that my vise can attach to. Having a loose vice and working on the driveway means I didn't want to artfully sculpt my instagram welds! lol

Replaced the #5 coil/plug on the M6 after getting a reduced power code. Thankfully, that's the most accessible coil/plug (deep in the gap between the maf and PS reservoir). Not looking forward to doing the rest. Both engine computers and some other parts have to be removed to get to the back cylinders.

Check engine light on my 2024 Palisade with 3k miles. Prayers it is easy as I just dropped it off.

Wow 150 miles a year what a collectible

Replaced the distributor in my sons 87 GMC, now fighting the dreaded "code 42" that happens on these early TBI motors

Sucks to have a new car pop a check engine light. Don't have a code reader? Would at least give you a code to google to see how bad it might be. Warranty regardless.

Thursday evening changed the oil in the Pacifica Hybrid. Saturday morning changed the oil in the Tahoe and while there saw the LH CV Boot had puked all it's lube very recently. Thought I smelled something different the last week, but it leaks enough oil that smelling something when it's hot isn't unusual. I replaced both OEM half shafts with O'Reilly's lifetime parts years ago. This has to be at least the 3rd I've gotten for free with that warranty. Still not what I wanted to do with the rest of the day, but oh well. I always start out thinking I can get it out without removing the strut. It looks like undoing the sway bar will free up enough space to sneak it out, but it never is. If I just remembered that I would save a bunch of time taking out the strut to begin with. Maybe I'll remember next time...

We had an ancient code reader but the Palisade was too new for it to even work. So I bought a new one from Amazon and we are GTG for next time.

Hyundai called me this morning and said it was a gas tank sensor and should be ready on Friday.
