Toasty's Garage

[Toasty]

Basically, unless i have to go into my actual job in the morning. I typically work on Monteros from 8:30-1:30pm and then i go do work for the government until 10:30. Once i hire a couple dudes at the shop I'll be on dayshift permanently and I don't know how or if I'll still do as much side work because I'll actually be able to spend time with my family.

I've suggesting that our fleet department subsidize Montero restoration for the community but they said no. It was worth a shot, I could do so much awesome stuff there. I just got a bunch of new tools and machines (P-50 ironworker, EVO saw, Miller XMT350, Kent 16x40 lathe and semi auto Baileigh bandsaw) for the new shop and every time I go there i think about how many Monteros I could fit in it.




So, I'll just keep working on my garage floor and fabricating things with a grinder and a little 180amp Miller. I'm slowly getting real tools at home, it's way better than what i had 10 years ago plus Ernest is letting me borrow some stuff too so that helps.

Did the window deals today, they come with new clips and the Hyundai parts are rubber clad metal (like the Gen 2) vs the stock rubber/plastic ones that get all warped.

Did new antifreeze in the Gen 1 and 2 today as well, even though i use Mitsubishi Long Long Life Antifreeze the Gen 2 gets fresh juice every year because it spends most of it's time driving in dirt or sitting. The OEM juice is really dark green too so it's hard to tell when it gets dirty.
The Gen 1 also got a new OEM thermostat which it loves. I also topped up the washer fluid reserviors with the specified magic juice to keep the legitness flowing.

Worked on setting the caster on the D44's today too. This matches the spec but I'm going to have a few friend's double check my work before i make it permanent.

Cleaned and shined up my Gen 3, gave it some new brakes and fresh OEM antifreeze just because. Now it's pretty again!

Worked on PA_JERO's D44 today, still have a long way to go.

Meth plus god and you will get us thru! YEEEEEEEEHHHAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DRUGS!

 

[Toasty]

Interesting philosophy you've got there, I'll stick to no Gods and i'll take it easy on the Micheladas. On a side note I should start a Montero restoration company like Mohenic except i'll call it "Power Bottom" that'll make great stickers. Maybe i can hire Mr.Powerfist!

What if the government tries to infiltraptulate my operation and the CIA gets me hooked on crack and pills? I could end up shotified!

 

[PA_JERO]

You can only get stronger with crack, that's what its known for. Pills on the other hand go down easier if you snort them, that also makes it less likely to be the gateway to heroin.

The other day the cartel tossed one of those crack sampler bags at my garage, not my thing but it came with a coupon for a free roof inspection!
