Two-fer here.

YESTERDAY I removed the left rear shock. I think it's the original or nearly so. The nut on the horizontal bolt (lower connection) was the hardest nut I've ever had to crack. Had to use the weight of the truck to bust it loose. Jacked it up, put wrench on nut, put 2x4 between wrench and floor, and lowered the jack. Did that a few times before I could finally move it with a cheater and my arms.

TODAY I paid the state of Oklahoma $252 in penalties for not tagging it for the last 6 years (I also did not drive it off my property during that time). All for a $26 tag. Learned my lesson to at least tag it with a "black tag", so the state can get its taxes, even if I'm not driving it.
