I just purchased a used pop up camper for $300. All it needs is a cleaning and possibly a bead of silicone on one seam. Now I'm itching to go camping

I could use them a lot, usually I borrow my buddies but it's time for me to get my own! Off to home repo to pick one up!

Jam has a Dewalt grinder that he hasn't been able to break yet after probably a year or so.

We've got a few Dewalt grinders we haven't broken yet after a lot of use in the shop and bouncing around in the service truck.

Just picked mine up! Works pretty good. We go through grinders like crazy at work though because the stone & masonry dust destroys them. My boss' huge dewalt grinder finally is starting to fail though, he bought it back in 1996 and that thing gets hammered!

Got one of the fenders off of the truck, got my old fender ready to put on, I am thinking about rattle canning the bed side back to blue like the rest of the truck this way it will all be one color. What do you think?

I'll have to get to it once I get some more free time! It would be great to have a one color truck again. Maybe even get my windshield replaced!

Check around the third brake light. That is another common rust area.

I think that I'll clean off all the dirt, then hit it with a scuffing pad, clean it off, then rattle can it blue. Not gonna do to much work on it! One day far off in the future I'll do a complete paint job, and finish body work, but for now, she's just going through the woods so why bother gettin all fancy!

Yeah, worst case scenario if I can't repair it I will knock down the camper part and convert it to a utility trailer. Still a pretty good deal
