I’ll try to get more pics even if they’re boring. Just never think about when in the middle of working and nothing really seems to change when you’re just maintenancing on something.

I was working on front struts yesterday. They basically fell off the truck leaving the top seized on due to rust. Theses have been on for a while. I’m finishing this job tomorrow morning

I’m also going to be throwing this wheel on. I originally bought it from @Rusty Nail for the dually but never put it on and don’t like the wheel currently on the s-10 so the swap will happen soon

And here are random equally subpar pics of the underside to show that other than the front body mounts the underneath is pretty decent

If I got any of that in my garage I need to step away from the forum and take care of some major issues on the home front :roflbow:

These Bosch plugs sure lived a full life tho. I went back to an OEM AC DELCO plug

Here is some useful knowledge
Blue stripe bosch plug = made in china
green strip bosch plug = made in germany

I use NGK v power in my square and daily driver the made in china ac delco plugs don't seem as good as plugs of old.

The ac delco plugs I put in were real made in USA OEM plugs. :waytogo: there are different levels of ac delco plugs, like many things, so you gotta pay attention to what you’re buying

Also finished up front struts. Went with some “heavy duty” ac delco units from Rock Auto. We’ll see ho well they do.

also threw on the steering wheel. I need to clean it up but I like it much better than the old wheel
