Changed the oil on my buddy's '14 370Z again today.
This time the rubber door mats under the baby 1.5" Vivo Home plastic ramps were perfect to stop the drive wheels from spitting the ramps across the concrete.
The little ramps are necessary to get my lift arms under the vehicle

My son’s 2013 F150, had to replace the heater core intake hose as it sprung a leak. OEM ford part cost $112. Took about an hour to replace.
Old vs new hose

Air intake mounting on the LS430 - Took all day to gather up the necessary tooling; the rivet nut specs read that they fit into a 9mm hole. The hole needed to be larger than 10.5mm. I needed a reduced shank bit because of drill chuck limitations. Hardware store didn't have an 11mm bit; went with an 11.5mm.
Enlarging holes in sheet metal is a PITA; even when driving a RH bit LH to get it started. The holes are a bit oversized, but the rivet nuts hold fast. Long story short, got the rivet nuts set and the air intake installed.

Finished the starter on my sons 02 crv. Pretty lousy job. I thought when I did it 22 months ago I was set for the rest of ownership. Nope, thanks to a Made in China AC Delco starter. Didn't even want to warranty it. Went with a Denso this round. I really hope I'm not doing it again.
Did you do it from the top or bottom?
Bottom, it's doable if you have normal sized hands. I'm not taking the intake off. Take off the knock sensor or else your extension or ratchet gets stuck when removing the invisible top bolt.
I did mine from the top this year and it wasn’t bad at all. However, if I had a lift or a good, safe method of jacking it up, I’d try from the bottom too….
Replacing the intake manifold gasket and coolant o-rings on my 85 RX7.
New 37's on the JL. I simply stayed with Yokohama MTs as I liked the first set. They're still stamped Made in Japan
I can pretty easily get the wheels on if the axles are near the ground but for my spare I use my hydraulic cart. Works great.
I modified the spacing on my homebrew TrailRax copy to take two Rotopax without locking them together. I don't fully see the advantages of interlocking except it's twice as hard for the wife to get water.

We're doing a major remodel on the kitchen and dining room. The builder arrives on Monday to start the demolition, so I've been busy clearing everything out with the help of some young neighbor kids. The goal is to make life a bit easier given my physical impairments.
For a crv no jack is necessary, just lay on the ground. It is irritating working in the tiny area but so is breaking plastic clips removing the intake.
Polished the journals on my NOS Elgin camshaft I bought for my Pontiac. Will need lifters, valve springs, and a gasket set next. A little at time to not bust the fun money budget. Preparing for the camshaft change as a winter project.
Replaced the studs.. well it’s been a week long ordeal. Have a knack for ordering the wrong parts. Black was the originals I put in 2 years ago, those were messed up by junk lug nuts. Those were also too long I think. Ordered the longest ones from Amazon but wouldn’t tighten down. Got the short ones from lug nut guys and perfect. Tempted to change the remaining 12. Maybe the source of the vibration.
Finished up the Sierra Denali 6L80 build....The radiator mounted trans cooler was heavily restricted, Replaced the radiator.....& I had to remove the auxiliary cooler & flush it for an hour to remove all the metal.
Tuned with HP-Tuners.....Zeroed all TCC slip tables & disabled lock-up in 2nd & 3rd.
Quick relearn (Clutch apply volume learn), Thorough test drive....All is good.

Scrubbed the carpet in the LS430. Just crappy pre-sale detail work. Crappy inspection on my part too.
This was under the paper throw away mat and the OEM carpet floor mat. Scrubbed both mats and the front foot well with Folex.
The dead pedal pad had some chewing gum like stuff on it. Came off with WD-40. This is about the best I could get. You need to wet with Folex and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing with a towel. Not doing to drive it until I get the trim-to-fit WeatherTech floor mats installed.
Also got the correct clips for the interior trunk trim and got that section complete.
