This is why I love the jeep community. I used to work heavily in the rat rod community and they sponsor a non profit called wrenching for the future! Pretty cool programs out there.

We need more like you. Much of the this will be a lost art at some point with only the older folks having the knowledge. Do you have a mentor or are you completely on your own?

Us guys over 67 just pay young guys to do it!No kidding that's awesome, good job!!My bet is 99% of the men under 40 couldn't have done that and 90% of guys over 40 couldn't have done it either.
Nice job!
I paid for all that a good while back!
Good job.
Torque wrench at Harbor Freight is like 15 bucks. BTW good enough for most things. Its not rocket surgery.
OP
At 81 years young it takes me longer to get up after draining my oil than it does to change the filter and fill the oil and clean up my mess.
@thekidwithquestions should have a torque wrench for use on his next project on Friday. Never be afraid to get your hands dirty trying something on your own and learning a new skill in the process young man.

before and after, I'll let you figure out which is which
That's right, lets see that axle!!!
I’ve been saving up for a Bridgeport - can you help me out?
In all seriousness, that’s a great thing you did for the kid, @Rescue6. You’re an example of the best of what these forums are all about.
OP
thanks to Rescue6 for sending me this torque wrench, right now me and my assistant are checking the torque on everything
You need to train the cat to seek out 10mm sockets, it'll come in handy
that or the wrench you set down 3 seconds earlier but has disappeared into a localized black hole.
OP
or maybe my entire set of torx head bits that must have somehow phased through the ground when I dropped them
Glad I could help get you started. Continue learning how to do things on your own. It will serve you well. Never be afraid to try something new as that’s how you learn new skills and Continue to ask the questions as there are plenty of very knowledgeable people on here that can help.
