It’s been almost a full year, but I finally have a garage again! When my dad came by this last weekend, he also brought some of my bigger tools that I had to leave back in Illinois when I left last March. He also helped me wire a couple of 220v outlets in the garage Now I can get back to working on my Jeeps…

Working on the wiring for the 220v outlets

My drill press is back

So are my engine hoist and band saw

…and most importantly, my air compressor!

Now I have a ton of work to get done in the garage!

Working in the cold and wet snow sucks! Too bad Brian’s Jeep was too tall to fit in my garage.

Nope, not enough room

Guess we will work on it like that……the heater doesn’t work well with the door open

Detroit locker in

Brian cutting the new plate to cover up where the vacuum disconnect motor used to be

my jeep got to park out in the snow all morning

Picked up this Harbor Freight bandsaw a few days ago…I may never use my chop saw again

My new plasma cutter showed up today. I can’t wait to try it out.

I got to try out my new inner axle seal tool on my Dana 30, and it worked very well

I finally got it! I’ve been wanting (needing) a new welder for a while. I got the Millermatic 175. I had originally wanted the 210, but couldn’t justify the extra cost for what I am going to use it for at this point. Maybe in the future….

Just another tool I picked up this week to make replacing my inner axle seals easier

breaking the bead

I picked up this 20 ton press so I can start setting up my own gears, among other tasks

Picked up a Harbor Freight tire changer today for a good price. Seems to work well, so far
