LOL, I never use one at home and I have access to an air compressor and impact wrench. Now my dually truck, heck yes I break out the impact.

Everything other than changing oil is a first for me. When it comes to working on cars, I have much to learn lol. Saving grace is that the fleet is pretty much identical under the skin, so I don’t need to relearn things.

Just bought an impact, on sale at HomeDepot, just the lower end consumer grade Ryobi cordless, but that’ll work for me.

Finally decided to get the Z1 Post-MAF's this past Black Friday and installed them. They say it takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. For me, it took 4-5 hours total due to being a weaksauce and no muscles. Side note, did not have to trim anything like mentioned in a few threads.

Real drivers never lift. However with that being said, torque is your friend. Long wrench handles are the way to go when possible.

Work smarter not harder!

Got my hella horns yesterday to replace stock horns. Once I get my LED headlight bulbs will do the install as the bumper needs to come off for both jobs.

Installed Z1 2 pc rears...courtesy of PharmDZ.....

Like a dumbass I realized I installed them backward after already buttoned everything back up one side....so I swung the rubber mallet at my balls a couple of times, then sucked it up and corrected it.

Well at least now I’m an expert at installing the traction arms now.

What you do? Hit your wife's purse a couple of times. Because I thought your balls was in your wife's purse.
