What have you done to your truck today?
Today, I installed a new axle bumper, did a bit of frame maintenance, and laced up a seat support with some 1500 lb Kevlar cord I got on eBay. I had a home made support under there for more than 10 years, but it was never comfortable. It was something of a project to do it the way I did, but I'm hoping this is a permanent fix. It seems much more comfortable, and I do tend to drive distances...
Found out why the throttle was sticking. It was stiff and slow to return and if opened wide it would just stick there. Thankfully the truck isn't running at the moment so it wasn't a Toad's Wild Ride kind of thing.
Moisture had gotten into the pivot shaft causing a build up of rust. Dissasembled, clean it up with fine emery paper, squirted it liberally with Sili Kroil, and put it back together. Works like a champ now. If only if would make vroom vroom noises when the throttle was opened up. But that will come in time.

Gave the old girl a wash a couple days ago and upon waking up late this morning, hauled a$$ to work- the truck didn't skip a beat and I made it on time! So as a bit of a reward (also cause I love my truck) I cleaned it out and gave her a good wash and wax at work when we had nothing to do so she's looking all pretty again.

Most of the time we're super busy but during those strange 2 hour periods of no cars we can do our own thing for the most part but must drop it when a customer pulls up. Of course having our own wash bay makes it easier- it's pretty nice I gotta admit
