    5S activity on the tool box. Via gift from friends.
    20201012_084956.jpg
    Socket rails. Instead of carrying two different boxes when working. I pick up one rail with both deep/shallow sockets.

    Here is a before picture, but you have to imagine two more boxes.
    20201012_084918.jpg
    One more deep/shallow box each. Some room saved for cramming more tools in.

    Do they pay for your tools at work?

    No. They will purchase "specialty" tools such as Allen wrenches (hex-key,) and Multi-meters for the electricians.

    All tools are personal property, and at our own expense. This is my home box.

    If we break a tool, they will "replace" it with proof of purchase.

    Edited to add: If I lived 10 minutes from work I wouldn't have started a second collection of tools. Driving an hour one way for a set of sockets or something silly that I forgot to bring home results in two hours lost of work time. Valuable time when you're a weekend warrior like me...

    Eventually I started collecting tools at the house, and here I am...

    I wish it stayed this clean...
    Resized_20200515_190553.jpg
    That same drawer back in May when I was on furlough for the corona event to remember. Lots of work tools came home, and occupied the space. Most of which were returned.

    I love my spidertrax spacers and have been off-roading in Moab with them multiple times, no problems at all. I run 265/70/17 with 4runner trail wheels 15mm offset. Spacers were solely for looks, but they do look much better to me.

    Someday when I grow up I'll get SCS wheels with the -38mm offset and remove the spacers, but that's just because I love the look of SCS wheels

    What paint do you guys recommend for brake calipers? I think I might try to feel 18 again and paint these new ones red. I've seen a few people here do it and it looks good.

    I bet that’s the accessory one I found listed. So it appears to tuck up tight to the body as well. Might just get the Toyota one for the simple fact I can have it in a day

    I used the Rustoleum Ceramic High Heat as a primer (4 coats) and then did Rustoleum Gloss Finish (3 coats). Holding well.

    Even the rear driver plate, which has had 2 oil soakings and been cleaned with Brake Cleaner, has held well. Usually, the brake kleen takes the paint off. Maybe because its black its hiding, but still looks good.

    Well shipping container idea still might happen.



    but looking into building a 3 car garage for the second house and using it for storing my cars and working out of it with a lift

    Ya know... I could just get a full light bar that will mount from ditch light bracket to ditch light brackets across the hood.

    That totally won't get in my line of sight like @empty_lord is planning to move against :rofl:

    Technically it would work since the brackets do move with the hood. :D:rofl:

    Edit: I may need the curved bar

    I was worried about glare with floods, But there seems to be a mix of opinions on which type. I guess I can always move em if I don’t like em

    I'm getting closer to fixing my $250 fuck up. I doubt this is necessary but I marked the torque sequence per the instructions I found. I'm not sure where that guy it from because it's not in my FSM. Also, I'm pretty sure they don't sell many transmission filters because this thing looks like it's been on a shelf for a long time. The cork gaskets are neat.

    Very nice, but you know when you flip the pan to install it, all your numbers will be upside down.

    Yes. That part was a breeze. They are barely torqued down, per spec. The FIPG does most of the work it seems. The old pan has been hanging for days while I wait for my oil pan separator to arrive. Again, probably not necessary but given my track record of breaking shit I thought it wouldn't hurt. If nothing else it will make the job easier. I'm thinking it will only work on a few sides as it looks like the front driveshaft is blocking me from using it on that side. We'll see.
