wayno Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I actually pressure wash for a living, I am self employed, but I do handy man work also, the shoes were for taking X-mas lights down that I put up, seems like the only X-mas light work I seem to get is on steep roofs, and I mean scary steep, the one I did today is over 3 stories high at the top. I bought the wrestling shoes at a thrift store, they were under $10.00, and worked great. Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 You should see it normally, you can't see the floor for 10 months a year, yea I am not good at cleaning my vehicles, my favorite thing to say when someone tells me to wash my truck is, "why, it will get dirty".You should see what I look like when I get in that work truck sometimes, soaked in mud from the top of my head, all the way down to the muddy wet foot prints I leave when I walk into my house, a total pig pen. Sometimes the customers don't want to answer their doors when I knock, I think they think I want to use their bathrooms, and they don't want me in their house. :lol: The specialty shoes were for the roof I got up on today, it is a fairly steep smooth tile roof, and them shoes stick real good to it. I actually thought about cleaning it up a little before taking the photos, but it was cold out there, so I just took the photos. I really like the consoles I have in my trucks, mostly I like the gauges and how the console holds them, the only drawback is that the heat needs to be diverted sideways when not on defrost, as it does no good to heat the back of the console, but I just use the defroster mode all the time. Im just busting your balls at least your driving it,i have ocd and let me tell you when we were working on my door today i wanted to wipe my truck down every time it got dust on it.Call me sick in the head.

.sunlover Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yeah, I tossed what was left of my rain guards, but obviously can see why you'd protect your shiny l20 from road slime. My engine bay is strictly for function. If you touched my engine, there's be a clean spot, if I touched yours, you'd probably have to wipe the only fingerprint off lol Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 finally..... sound deadened the doors sunday ... welll i dissembled and reassembled with some clean up ... Hans actually put the shit in the door......the ole 521 gives u no access to inside the door ....usually i can get my elbow slipped in but on these they were clearly built to be serviced by smaller people....luckily hans had done his already and was able to get inthe door... so i cleaned all the mechs and made new vapor barriers while he applied...then i reassembled the door while he did the other...then we went and crashed some planes... oops... suprised how much difference this made ..... way quieter .....also surprised how much difference putting the valance on made ...i get lot less wind noise in the cab since reinstalling the valance...and i like the look more.....sounds like those leafs eagle adam grabbed for me can be picked up on weds for more low.... yeah!!!!!thanks adam....u da man... rumor has it another south sounder lowered his 521 another inch all the way around....hoping he posts some pics, even if in the dark, soon... this is sad my friends have always known me to have shit as low as possible and definately the lowest out of the crew and im the last in our 521 collection to be low.....tear.....just the jealousy talking here...the leafs are only temporary till the real low can be achieved... 1 Quote Link to comment
