    When working on my truck, I go just beyond my comfort level. At over $100 bucks an hour I can afford to screw up a little. My comfort level is way beyond what it used to be.

    I just do my t600 sometimes by myself. Like replacing the fifth wheel.

    I don't trust anyone to work on my truck! A wash job or a tire change on the road is about as far as I will go with someone working on my truck. Doing the work myself I know it's done right. I don't have to wait for someone to become available, I save money, and I never have to question the qualification of the person working on my truck. Driving is my full time job and mechanic is my part time job.

    yup, beats working outside any day. let alone prior to having the shop my i had my oil changes done in a shop, now i buy my filters and oil in bulk and save a bit over 100 bucks per oil change, i don't know that i would have tackled my front end bushings myself without the shop aether. i might have but if i did i would have been even less excited about it...lol let alone it was raining witch is why i wasn't out hauling that day.

    next available day will be the equalizer beams on the spring ride of my belly dump and breaks on my belly dump.
