Weekend progress on some projects Cleaned out the interior of the new Loadstar project. I think this was the nastiest interior I’ve had to deal with since I bought my 1st 2 IH Scouts when I was 14. Found a dead bird, a dead rat, animal shit, rats nests, and the usual wasp and spider infestation. Still need to polish things up but I’m glad the dirty work is done. Swapped out rear coil springs and control arm bushings on the ZJ. It rides super nice with the new dual rate long travel coils, can’t wait to see what it rides like once the front ones are in too. Both the old springs and new springs are 2” lift springs, crazy how much longer the new springs are. #truckstr #jeepstr

I always really enjoy this part of starting a new project. Cleaning the mold and oxidation off to see what kind of patina is under it. Water, comet bleach, and a scotch-brite pad does the trick. I was on the fence about whether or not this truck would end up getting painted when I bought it. I’m leaning towards leaving it as is now. Here’s a couple before and afters #truckstr

GM The gears in my head won’t stop turning and dreaming up this truck. Soon these two trucks will be one

You’re sleepin, I’m creepin

#fiatmining project I finished up a couple months ago. Modernized 2 elevators in an 11 story building. This was my first “big” job on my own as a journeyman mechanic. This job taught me a lot and I’m proud of how it turned out. This trade has been life changing for me and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make money working with their hands. Feel free to hit me up if you’re interested in getting into it

Jeremy Pinnel has been one of my favorites for a minute now. This is “Looters and Shooters” which he hasn’t released on an album yet. Enjoy #tunestr

Yesterday my family and I went to Divine Liturgy for the 1st time Highly recommend it
