Wont ignite controversy with me. I do know that the whole grease/oil/anti seize is a big debate but when properly done Ive never had issues with people doing it (properly being just a tiny bit, not a huge glob, and run the nut on and back off to spread it out). Luckily this has been the first...

Thanks to @InsaneEd @ScottW and @msharley for telling me about the inner lug on the npr. The socket finally came in the mail so I went to work on the truck. And boy did those inner lugs put up a fight! The drivers side wasnt to bad but the passengers side took a long time to get off. This is...

Got a bit more done on the garage. Hardly anything exciting though. Got the "last" piece on the front up that I can do with just a ladder. The slope of the "driveway" makes getting the last section up by ladder difficult. I also need one more piece of the garage door trim. Ill finish the rest...

Simply because that's how the previous owner had installed them some 25+ years ago. Rereading that post it sounds like I did install them that way. Wasn't clear but the PO had conduit ran like that and the conduit going down to dirt level (ran it like two inches below dirt level) then it was...

I was lucky enough to both see the L on the studs (the passenger side actually is stamped R too) and while getting ready to do the wheel bearings had read that one side was left hand threaded. Im sure most people who work on these would know that from the get go though. I would have been in...

Thank you! Luckily Im in the part of the state that doesnt get the bad winds. Nothing like the eastern side of the state! But Im also pretty cautious and dont work with the panels if its much above 15mph We went with an LG unit mostly cause its what the local HVAC company uses so in case of...

I already ordered a socket but thanks! And yup the drivers side is all left handed. Thanks for the tips though!

I fee like i should add "and other projects" to the title. Havent been working on the garage much at all. Letting the snow melt/compact down a bit and also had a bit of a cold for a few days. One thing the wife and I have always disliked in our home is the heating and cooling. The basement and...

Vehicles just arent getting along with me! Got the windshield in the wife's car replaced yesterday. So had to drop her off at work. Car ran just fine. Get home and wait the half hour for the Glass Shop to open and head out and her car pretty much immediately throws a check engine light. Run and...

OOOO did not know there was an "inner" as well. That would explain things! I should have checked the manual for the NPR but instead assumed it was stuck. Which when googling referred me to a lot of regular trucks which dont seem to have those "inner" nuts! Thanks guys!

Well its been a bit cold and everything is snow covered so havent worked on the garage the past little bit. Had plenty of other projects though. I did picked up a few nice tools. A nice Mitutoyo Dial Indicator, brown and Sharp 6" dial indicator (and not pictured) a Starrett Dial indicator. The...

looks like a great start!

Ive got a '88 Supercharged. Was lucky and bought it before MR2 prices got silly. Was a bit of a basket case when i got it though. Original owner took great care of it and the interior is in great shape overall. The owner i bought it from though...Im not 100% what exactly he was doing lol. But...

its been cold here. Like a lot of the rest of the great Northwest of the US. Single digits with nights being negative (single digit negative). So havent done to much outside. I did get another "set" of cabinets assembled. Boy that was some cold metal to have to touch! But I am going to use...

They actually are finished nicely. Bit thin material wise and the doors aren't perfect, both in fit and function. Worth $200 nah. But for $80 bucks on clearance they are good

Back at things for a bit....well not much but one more panel up! But this panel kicked my ***. I ruined one sheet and almost a second getting it up. The problem is all the weight is up top and the bottom section with the cut out for the garage door became extra flimsy and prone to bending. The...

I got some back in late September/early October time frame (from the vendor so date of manufacture I don't know). One side has the UL logo and is 450V/32A The other side (with PSE logo) is 20A/300V

The wife's mom and dad were in town this past week so didnt get a ton done. But one thing I did get accomplished was to get the glow plugs working on our Isuzu NPR boxtruck. The glow plug system did work when we purchased it and might have been part of why the company off loaded it for such a...

Late reply...but funny enough over my break, I was thinking the same thing. Powder coat or at least some sort of protection.

After the snow, it took a few days to melt off. Then we got a warm spell. It was ~45 degrees yesterday and ~50 today. With plans to go back to in the 30s tomorrow. So I took advantage and got the roof to where I like it. That meant getting the last 8 panels up (3 on one side and 5 on the...
