What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

HD front bumper was prepped and primed Tuesday evening. Painted yesterday. Today, I installed the winch.

Waiting until my son has time to help me install the bumper. Hopefully, that'll happen this coming weekend.

Thanks.
I've got a overhead hoist and floor-jack in my shop, but I'll need my son's help to hold it steady while mounting. I need to clear a path in the shop to drive the truck inside. It's so darn messy. I'm working on a set of sliders and rebuilding a DANA 44 with locking diff to install later. My tractor is also parked in the shop(24' X 24") , so it can get crowded real quick-like.

I hear ya. I don't have a place to work on my rig at all, so I am having to have mechanics do almost everything. I was going to rent a storage unit to work out of but I live rural and everything is full up. When one opens up I think I will rent it full time if they will let me work out of it. Some places wont allow mechanical work being done.

I had a colonoscopy then went home and saw FedEx dropped off my new Freedom Offroad UCAs so I took a nap then installed them. Install was relatively easy but GM placed the nuts for the UCA bolts inside the spring mount so I had to unbolt my coilovers to shift them around and make room for a wrench. If not for that step I'd have been done in 30min instead of 2hrs. lol

I'm testing these very inexpensive units to see how they hold up to abuse. They run $380. The next cheapest brand is $750 and they only go up from there. I have not read of any failures yet.
