Last week had headers and a new y-pipe installed. Drove the truck home for the holiday to where my dad’s better tool shed is and finished full front brake job, wheel seals, re-greasing the locking hub, and new fuel filter.

I also had a new exhaust installed; I had them cut the pipes right after the O2 sensor, ran dual pipes to Flowmaster Super 44's and out the back.

There are still a few more things I want/need to do and I need to get them done before she gets back from visiting the daughter. Oh, well......

Dont let your wife stop you doing want you need/want to do on your truck. They cant understand it but that’s ok as long as you don’t let them put you on a leash. When you do something on your truck take her out for dinner or get her a little surprise gift or do something she will think is sweet then her attention will be off the truck and off you doing stuff to it lol but make sure you do what you need to the truck first then treat her. It doesn’t work the other way around for some reason lol just one of those things. I guess it’s like candy that starts out sour then gets sweet is good but candy that starts sweet then get sour is bad 😂

I wish. No my 7yo and I just had fun with snowballs and making trails and drawing in the snow.
