I installed a "Rhino" grille guard on the 2011 Express all-wheel drive van yesterday. Supposed to be a simple bolt on job. Not so. Many hours of making things fit. I put it on hoping the next deer that I hit won't cause 7 grand of damage.

Saw one of those Ram R/Ts this morning, still haven't run across one on the street yet.

Yesterday, merged onto the interstate like usual, steering gets hard and temperature gauge begins to climb. Damnit... it spit the belts off. From what I can see, the AC belt came off and popped the main belt off. I was able to muscle it back in while on the side of the road. Didn't have any tools with me...

I drove the 72 Chevy truck to Cokers Tire Cruise In yesterday and it developed a pretty bad skip going up .I had hoped to work on it today but split wood instead ,trying to get the wood out of my mowing path.

This past Tuesday I had to go put a water pump on my mother's Tahoe. I had parked my little car because the brakes were making noise. I finally did the fronts... calipers, rotors, pads.

I found where the noise was coming from...

Some of you may be familiar with my 71 Corvette shown below.




I sent it off to have some plastic surgery done. She's a little thick in the hips now! 3" front & 4" rear flares. Getting a new motor & transmission transplant as well. The LS3 and TKO600 are out!

I hadn't realized that you took the automatic out. What is going in place of the LS3 and TKO? LS9/T56 swap?

Finally changed the thermostat in my daily driver. What a miserable job, was reminded why I hate FWD vehicles. I have been putting it off since last November.
