Had the tires mounted today.

The weather has been jack for working outside. Yesterday it was extremely windy and 20 degrees and today the axles were covered in half an inch of ice by 10 o'clock. All It did was rain, and then freeze, and rain more and refreeze

I need a giant garage

Not likely, I just need a couple warm days.

I can remember January's where we had more 60 degree days than 30 degrees day

Well fellas u was delayed because I had to chop a tree up that fell over last night! But I did manage to get the front axle painted. I will finish painting the driver side after I install the axle and pop that wheel assembly off with the steering trick.

I have all the u joints, ball joints I need, the steering and wheel assembly are sitting at the dealership waiting to be picked up. And the tires are mounted and balanced.

Hopefully I will be able to start pulling the axles tomorrow! Weather looks good!
