Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Went to visit my truck at the body shop. It's been gone for 2 months now and I'm going crazy! I didn't have time to really tune it before getting it running and taking it to the shop. At 31 seconds you can hear the cam but the idle is a little slow. I pulled the PS belt off just before dropping it off. Makes for fun in tight spaces.

I feel your pain. Mine was in the Body Shop from Mid October 09 thru Mid January 2010. I visited with it, 2x a week and took pictures/video and documented it on my website.
Lucky thing was , it was durring the middle of Winter.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I did some cleanup work on the camper to/cap, collected the new timber from the wood yard for it (bottom rails that it sits on are rotten) and then got dragged into gardening. That said I've been cleaning up under my new tarp garage that the truck will live in as soon as the cap is repaired, cleaned up the weeds between the 200 odd year old cobbles in there so it should be a bit dryer and cleaner.

This week the wheels are going off to have the tyres refitted with new valves as three out of the four go down over the space of a couple of weeks, then hopefully I'll find some time to drain the five year old gas out of the tank and replace it with fresh. Then I'm ordering a new battery and starter.
