Started pulling tires for rotation (I needed to make sure I could swap one by myself anyway). Knocked the first one out in about 2 hours (using the "2 pipes" method). The torque multiplier worked like a champ. The new air jack handled the lift w/o breaking a sweat. Only issue I had was my my...
Here's the tool list that I'm building for on-board (not including spare parts, etc). It's *way* more than you'd want to fly with, but you can always hit a Horror Freight before leaving MO:
Glad Hand
Air Hose and chuck
20 ton Air/Hydraulic Bottle Jack
Two 4' Breaker Bars
1 1/2" Truck Lug...
Nice layout.
One thought about the seats before your go to covering. You may want to re-think the high lips on the lower seat sides. Climbing up and into the cab, I found seats with a more flat lower section FAR easier to slide into (while already extending to step into the cab).

I've always kept tenders on my Harleys and my off-road cars. I've never mounted them onto the vehicle, though. I've always the run leads to a disconnect setup on the vehicle and left the power pack inside the garage (of course, my cars were typically 12v dual batteries in...

SOP. Towed a car out of the sand today. Pretty much every day at the beach I get 1-5 people come ask me or flag me down for a recovery. It's actually worse when there is almost no one out there on the weekdays (fewer trucks running around to pull folks out). The big fun is late at night at...
