Pics of you working on your rides

[Minty JL]

I ran across this on one of my buddies FB pages.

First picture was when I was doing a C Notch on my 04 Colorado, circa 2015. Then installing the MC GC 4.5" kit, I finally got the last few parts yesterday.

Here's some pics of a work in progress, no one around but me to take the picture, so I'm not in them.

Great pics but you don't look happy!! I always forget to take pics when I'm in the middle of the job. I'm usually too busy looking for that damn 10mm wrench!

Happiness is dependent on the stage of fuckary I'm dealing with at the moment lol. ......still better than being in the office or on site

I can't find one pick of me working on one of my rides. I did find one picture of me working on my last day of work on someone else's ride.

Probably distracting to work on that lift with that huge plane right in the way.

The kind of work that I was doing was more or less just documentation with measurements and photos. Lightning strike damage like this will head to the hanger for repair. The guy that took the picture came to get me for my last ride to the parking lot.

You didn't specify which rides!
I also don't take pictures of myself - and I'm usually doing the work myself, so...........

Upgrading 73 to Kelsey-Hayes HD disk brakes (an option in that year)
Had to turn down the spindles to center the rotor properly in the caliper since they were drum brake spindles -

Prepping a limited slip differential for transplanting under the 73 - new brake lines, etc.

Resealing the intake (oil leaks at the intake end seals)

Putting new upholstery on the seats - with some help, of course -

Reassembling 82 after repaint -

Pulling transmission for rebuild - blew rear thrust bearing and took out 5th gear -

Oh, yeah, I have a Gladiator, too.........

Wiring for snow plow -

Bumper off to mount plow frame brackets -

Rear axle seal and bearing on another Jeep I had -

Earlier this year…………

This is a great safety picture.
Jack and backup Jack stands on top of wooden blocks
instead of the other way around (except for the one "padding" block).

We need to get you a selfie stick and a crooked beanie for some glamor shots.

I looked for a photo of myself working on a auto, but no luck. Like you said, no else is there watching me.

I keep lengths of 4x4s around for that sort of use. I have a car by my shop I salvaged some suspension and brake parts from a couple of years back. I have it up on cribbing a lot like he does, alternating layers.
I could work with that guy - he's not taking chances.
His jack is sitting on a very solid, flat support and that padding block is large enough it isn't going anywhere.
Am I seeing things, or does he also have the two stands cabled together?
