I've been dreading going out and cleaning the rust off my front leaves and painting them. Even though it's the one thing that is holding me up on the rest of the build.
How about you guys?

Anything under the hood, and i only have a 4" lift on 35's, i can't imagine anything taller. I guess if i had some sort of step stool that would stay put while leaning over the fenders while working on the engine, it wouldn't be so bad, everything wants to slide out from under my feet though....annoying.
4xcrzy: I have this, no you can't have it, and good luck finding one. Home Depot at least doesn't carry them anymore. $88 new
About 3 feet tall, 3 feet wide, and sturdy
other good option, back another truck up to the front with tailgate down

I'll have to say that is one of the suckiest things to do on our Blazers...it's so easy on my 2 wheel drive truck, but there is so much to take apart on a 4x4

Giver of not a single damn...
Changing the fuel pump in my Suburban. Just the thought of dropping the tank, (that is filled to the brim), makes me whimper and whine and act like my 2 year old.
I told my wife once, parts stores sell parts, I just wish they sold motivation.

Auto Tranny swaps I hate it
Anything under/inside the dash. Its hard to get up in there. it was a pain redoing my headliner in the burb by yourself. Installing a steering box by yourself sucks also.

Good one.
changing glow plugs on a turbo 6.2 diesel.
There are a few you need a miracle to get to.
Everything else has been a breeze, and I have done just about everything on these trucks.

Turns out the new one needed a 3-4 clutch pack..
