Duke and Jack,
I'm not going to bullshit you or exaggerate: Your toolbox setups look like artwork. Awesome stuff.
Thanks Ken. I owe it to all that time spent playing Tetris in my youth.

@Colo_Ranger - more accurately, he WAS rich. :wink:

Fair. Welcome to the poors.

Funny/entertaining comments for sure, but I looked at his occupation and setup and thought - "dang, there's a pro."
There is a huge difference between 'I can use that tool' and '
I need that tool to make a living'. I had the same socket set for 20 yeas before I invested in a new socket set. And I only bought a new set because replacing the missing sockets was going to be too much money. I would love a table saw, but... I would use it once a year and can't justify it.

Just joking around for sure, but not many people can appreciate it so I try and share when I can. As @Colo_Ranger said just 8 years of oh I need “X” tool for this job. Customers see the trailer and know the quality of work I can provide and helps sells jobs. It’s also a fun hobby. But haven’t had the need to really purchase much lately.

I will judge as it’s packout all the way. Ran out of room so got a trailer. It’s an older picture so not to up to date.

I doubt all of that was within the payload limit anyway, your Ranger's springs thank you for getting a trailer.

This is why God invented Harbor Freight.

If you've ever tried to rent a tool from Home Depot, you'll understand its easier and more cost effective to just buy one from HF.

Installed the fancy hood shocks to go with my fancy tailgate shock. I feel cooler than the other side of the pillow right now. Can't wait to install the Raptor led lights in the grill and the black badges.

Washed it! What a difference a week makes, last Wednesday it was -2 and today it was 75 out. I didn't feel like dragging out the power washer (it's stored in our sunroom lol) so I went back to the 2 bucket method I use to use. Power washing/foam cannons are so much easier.

It's hard to tell on white but this was nasty dirty.

Here's why it's important to use the 2 bucket method. You can see how dirty the rinse bucket is and I did the tires/wheels first and even changed the water out after that. o_O

Got my CVF intercooler charge pipes installed.

Took about an hour and a half going slow and taking my time to make sure no leaks.

Sorry, only grabbed one pic.

I need one. I can't believe how poorly designed that factory pipe looks.
