Howdy Tim. I know what you mean Shadow. I wish I had a place inside that I could work on the truck but I dont. So how is everyone today?

Not much Tim just trying to stay warm, Yeah Shaun if I had a heated garage to work on all of our stuff I'd probably rig up a computer and a bed in there and live in there and only leave for work during the winter, all I'd ever do is projects.

It would be nice Shadow. But I get to work on the street for everything I do at home. Only exception is my sister in laws jeep. That I can fit past the house but just barely. ( less then a 1/2 inch of clearance without taking out a set of steps)

I work out in the yard most days or halfway in a non insulated non heated garage but I don't do it often because if I drip a little bit of oil or a little coolant or some sort of fluid I get more of an earful than its worth most of the time so I just freeze my butt off in the yard.

I would do alot of stuff in my front yard but my front yard is a hill. My back yard is flat. But the only way I could get my truck back there would be to take out the steps for the back door and remove at least 50 feet of fence and the associated poles and hope I wouldnt tear up my neighbors grass. So not much point in using the yard.

It can be depending on what I am doing. Most things I either have the ramps out or the jack and jack stands. Sadly the one jack we had to replace because it wouldnt lift my truck or my brothers truck. Went to check brakes on my last truck and started to lift the rear up and I had the jack maxed out at full lift and it had just made contact with the rear end. I was still at stock ride height on that truck. Went and bought a better jack. I also have a few traffic cones I set out for when I am working just to serve as a warning that I am in the street and working. I dont block traffic with them but just mark where the truck is better.
