I do most basic work in the autoparts store...
upper control arm bushings on the axle, done in the parking lot, wheel bearings, done in the parking lot, u joints done inside. oil changes while traveling done in the parking lot.
I always carry all my tools with me under my false floor so I can do anything I need to on the trail or on the go

Culmination of a week's worth:
Finished up my ZJ rear disc conversion, installed my IRO OTK steering setup, regeared my speedo to read right with my 4.56's. Gears and Detroit in the rear were done earlier in the week.

I bought bolts/washers to install my rear hitch. But too lazy to do it today.
Will have to wait til next week, and do it at work, when I don't have to lay on the ground.

I saw the" worn out" pads and they were quite thick and not worn out. 3500 miles on last brake job.
I can chalk this up to the city where prices dare to fly so high.
I got great referrals for the shop, but Jeez what prices!

New poly sway bar bushings, was a pain to replace because one bolt cross threaded putting it back together.
My mom got mad at me and told me to wash it, not because it was muddy but because my friend wrote "D*CK" on the driver door with an arrow pointing at the window, so I went mudding and covered it up, then washed it.
And I put in a green neon light for a glove box light. +20 rice power!
