Afternoon all.
What a great day, I just got done washing the truck and the wife's van.
First time in about a month.

I hope everyone has a good weekend

I win the stupid award for the week!

i apparently didnt tighten the fill plug on the rear axle, and it ejected. there is 75w140 all over the undercarriage now.

i am eating pizza now, then i will be refilling the rear and powerwashing the car.
