Why is the drive line at some random shop?

I could have taught you how to swing a hammer to replace the joints yourself.

Yeah I've changed a u joint but I wanted to make sure it was balanced. Figured I'd let them work it.

Well a few things are running through my head.

I could take my truck and everything needed for the swap to my uncles shop. Car lift maybe. All the tools I can think of and tons of shit I can use to get it done. However that's probably 25 miles from my house, maybe more. With no real way to get out there other then taking my girlfriends car when she isn't uusing it. I get off work at 6 everyday. The only real way I'd be getting out there would be from Chris (620) owner... I'm not sure if it's worth the time trying to get out there every time I want to work on the truck.

The next engine pic will be a nice one!
Mock up of some stuffs.
The blocks ready and waiting for me, I'm getting the drive line balanced and u joints replaced.

Bro. Just move in with me for a couple of days and get it done.
Your uncle is, what, 3 or 4 blocks away?

Then at night you and Chris can fix this 620.


Rent? We get this 210 mounted and rolling.

Think it might work better the way I've been doing things.


Lots of cleaning to do after work tomorrow..
Got a line on a cherry picker should be here friday. Radiator and drive line seem like they should be done, All tho I called the shop that has the drive line and they said they were having some electrical problems with their balancing machine.

Stock radiator iis back in my position.
One piece is back in my position

still waiting for the mail to come so I can post a fucking picture already! But it looks like you'll have to wait tell my package to come... Hope tomorrow... No cherry picker was waiting for me when I got off work, so Sunday I'll have to go pick that shit up.
I would today but the bitch isn't collapsible so can't fit in the pathfinder.

Been thinking about the piston rings that are on the ka pistons, in the block.. I don't like them.. The brand. I'm crazy or something so I went ahead and bought NPR rings..
My brain feels better now.
