What did you do to your other vehicle today?

You should do what makes this YOUR truck . Have fun building it !

Absolutely this. While in some regards I'm a bit of a purist (there's a time a d place for this), I love customizing vehicles to make them my own and a bit unique. Not everyone always likes it, but i don't care as long as I like it. I'm also a big subscriber to the less is more train of thought. But I do love a bit of contrast/accent color.

I love all of the old Chevy trucks. I'm looking forward to see what you do with this one.

With about 5 minutes left in my 2 hour drive to work yesterday morning (I only go in once a week) the blower in my DD pickup started vibrating. I turned the speed down and thought well, this timing could be better. I'm up here two days and highs are around 100.

Went to lunch, same. With the speed cranked up it violently shook the whole dash but I could run it at 2 without being too severe and that would keep it just cool enough not to sweat in my office clothes.

A buddy offered to let me use his tools and driveway to change out the blower after work so I picked one up at the Irish parts store and made the 30 minute drive.

I found myself appreciating the TJ for how easy it is to work on as I fought with several fasteners buried right above the tunnel or against the firewall.

The blower itself was fine, but I didn't want to be doing this work again so I put the new one in anyway.

Did it smell like something died coming out the vents ?

Not at all. I think he actually was alive before he fell in, and was only in there for about 7 hours before I had him out. I'm just glad it happened on the way to work instead of the way home, because I would have parked it and said "I'll deal with this later" and come back to it in 3 days. I only drive it about twice a week.
 
Changed oil. I think the last guy put the drain plug on with loctitle and an air hammer.

The torx part stripped out round immediately because it's an aluminum bolt vs steel tool.

I had to make a groove on the edge with a chisel and pound on it with a 3 lb hammer until it came loose.

Then go to 4 stores to find a replacement. 2 had it in stock online. Ha

2-1/2 hour oil change.
