Are you doing any Osprey duty? I've been playing with a few guys in that corner. Hope you are thriving!Just saw this thread, haha. Major thanks to you for your help on both days and Andy today. You had asked me what color I was going to go with, and I finally decided. I figured, why spendall this time painting when it will just get scratched off anyway so I am just gonna plasti-dip it

It is on standby and is slotted to get some cul-de-sac love soon.

You think I let her drive my trucks? well maybe if case by case with analysis.
Oh ok. I thought she was driving some other vehicle last time we talked (you had just gotten your little Honda Accord).About 5yrs ago,

She drove my taco for awhile beer because we were down 2 cars cause my 2000 Honda Civic coupe EX was stolen, then beer after about blowing up her 2006 Civic EX driving like mad man to Sam and back, I bought her the Tahoe, beer after I graduated in 2013 beers, I traded in the 06 Civic and bought me a new 13 Accord EX for a work car, after year here in SA, the roads completely suck, I traded in the beer Accord and bought beers the Ferd, better towing for the new RV, and now my Taco is primarily my DD, and I like coldbeer.

Well if you take the word it makes sense, but if your drinking it also makes sense.

Installed an AAL to the dakar pack and a shackle flip on a buddy's truck, forgot how much those rivets suck!
Sure was nice to install it on a lift and not have to huff those leaf springs up like a driveway mechanic in the frigid cold haha

Nice man! What are the temps in the shop?

I've found that keeping it between 60-63 while I'm working is best. Moving around and wrenching on shit in there warms you up quite a bit. When I'm not using it I turn the temp down to 55°. It sure is nice to work in a controlled environment. I used to not work on vehicles for 6 months out of the year because of the weather
. I'll be working on insulating the walls this month and it should be even better!

What type of insulation are you thinking of doing?

Not sure yet, probably fiberglass. I am looking for a company that sells 8' wide sheets of it so I can install it between the posts. The perlins on the all are on 2' centers so I could run fiberglass horizontally I guess with the 24" wide batts. There are already wires and pipes and shit ran on the walls so using foam board type insulation would be a pain in the ass.
I am probably going to pay someone to do it just because I hate working with insulation and it would take me 2 weeks to do when they could come do it in a day or two.
I just got done insulating the garage door attached to the house, that wasn't bad I used the polyiso stuff that is foil backed.
Who's flip kit? You guys add limit straps? Hate to see those new shocks go boom.
I do like the bump stop
It was a 4x kit, I offered to make one for him using some jonny joints but he wanted to re-use the stock shackle (not sure why). We put the B110's in, they should be ok we cycled the suspension and the limiting factor is the springs, and he used the wheelers bumps with the extended mount so the collapsible length should still be safe

I would like to do some instulation in my shop as well, buddy of mine had his spray foam done and the cost was like $11k but damn, that costly
