I work for a Chevy dealer, I'm currently in Certified Service Express, it's always nice to tell one of the guys right before I go to lunch, "DON'T make a mess on my rack while I'm gone." 30 minutes later I return and find oil all over the ground, the used oil caddy and rags strung all over the place. Spilled oil is a daily occurrence for me unfortunately, I know it's not as easy on your back, but even when we give people a rack, the proper tools and equipment to do the job, some still manage to make a huge mess on a consistent basis.

Lol actually I just remembered, they spilled some trans fluid on my rack last week, I must have done 4 cars on it after and had no issue, we were very busy, car number 5 I walked thru the fluid, slipped and landed straight on my @$$. I jumped right back up hoping no one saw, I was wrong, there were witnesses.

I hate witnesses, and even worse when they get a picture! LOL

[philo_beddoe]

I concur.

[Captain Swampy]

That stupid clip was worn out. It was a pain to find one that fit. We changed all the weather stripping and the window regulator and motor. We should have changed the regulator and motor in the passenger door also.

There was a nasty sharp rust hole into the wheel well. Brooke made a patch that we attached with self tapping screws. It was ugly and couldn't be hidden so Mom thought we should have some fun with it! 

[philo_beddoe]

Your gonna leave that like that?! Lol...

[Captain Swampy]

Well....yeah, for now. Brooke has a better box to replace that one eventually.

[Captain Swampy]

Mom helped us a lot. Our other daughter Tessa brought us lunch and lots of parts.

Brooke painted the headlight trim black. It matched much better than the silver.

The shocks only had an inch or two of rebound travel. Everyone was trying to sell the same length shocks for a 4 inch lift. Finally found a place that listened and got us H7058/H7073 Skyjacker shocks. Installed they are halfway between the extended and compressed lengths.

Put the steps on also.

[philo_beddoe]

Did she hit her old man up for those skyjackers?? Lol $$$

[Bedazzled]

The skyjackers actually aren't that bad of a shock. It would ride A LOT smoother if we would put new springs in the front.

[philo_beddoe]

I would like new HD front coil springs. When i park ever slightly facing down hill, the front end is not even. Even when parking level, front end dips a little. I have to have everything perfectly even. Left/right, up/down, front/back.

[LTZ C20]

I just put the HD springs on my truck this weekend when I did the  front end.

[philo_beddoe]

Hard to install, or are they so easy even i could install them?
