It looks exactly like one those commercials where someone apparently has managed to build the absolute perfect house in the perfect spot. -Which of course is made in photoshop or something, because it doesn't exist.
But it does!

And i won't even get into how on earth you manage to drive up a gravel road with trailer and stuff, and still get home with a squeaky clean car AND trailer..
Sweet trailer btw.

I'm impressed on several levels.

Lol you guys that is NOT my house.
I just spent 2 months of my life in that house painting the whole interior (cabinets in 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms + 6000sq/ft of wall and ceilings.

The property is pretty nice...owner bought it for 550k and is getting ready to sell it for 1.3 millions
The drying racks are for the cabinet doors after they get sprayed.
I made them to accommodate about 160 cabinet doors and drawer faces.

I guess what threw everyone off was the fact that I said that I brought my racks home and I apologize.should of been more clear and said I brought them home from this job lol

You're not wrong. It took me the best part of 8 hours just to do the rears and it was a bloody hard slog.

I counted I've done suspension swaps on nearly 10 cars and the rear end on this was by far the hardest I've encountered to date.

Too tight to get spring compressors in so you literally have to disassemble everything between the subframe and the wheel bearing carrier in order to drop the spring out. Then everything is all over the place like a crazy women's sh1t so it's an absolute PITA to reassemble as nothing wants to line up. The integral links took me about 1 hour each side alone.

Was a hateful job. Fronts tomorrow.

My Sunday afternoon task was lots easier than a rear suspension . Replaced the transfer case actuator gear. The infamous Trifecta light display is now gone, hopefully forever!
