Pic of the tires in the back seat until I have room in the shed/garage, which im thinking of cleaning up today, not hot not cold & only a little cloudy so should be good to go.

Replaced these old shocks with some new Monroe, Gas-Magnum. Can't wait to get out on the road with them and see how they feel.

The driver side took almost 2 hours. We ended up cutting the top of the post off and kept hammering it with the impact until it broke loose. The passenger side took maybe 10 minutes.

Figures, mine broke on its own but I could use shocks, it has a clip style nut but I'd on the inside of a arm and also I think the arm is threaded.2wd's are easier, the studs pop out if you break them.

Cleaned up shed/garage, not completely done, but winter tires are stored, just have to sort tools & other stuff on shelves.
The shelf I picked up to fit from shelving unit to shelving unit was so heavy I could not pick it up by myself, so slid it across floor leaned it on the shelving & picked up the other end & almost didn't fit.
I had the second shelving unit & bought the door @ a used store for $35, but should never break it. So still cost more than a bolt to a wall tire rack, but this was aloud.
the second pic of the door shows how much it moved on the drive home.
& then the shed after some cleanup then with tires stored - forgot to take a pic before I started cleanup.
& installed the hood shocks - forgot pic.

I had such a pain getting the shock to stop spinning with the impact gun, ended up two wrenches and a 5ft pipe to break the top ones off.... Just wait until you try and take off the rear top bolts.
