A little off-shoot from the "What did you do to your 6.0 today?" mega thread.
Very simple idea here, show what you bought for your 6.0 today.

Today was an expensive one for me:
-Upper and lower balljoints, both sides
-Center links
-NUC Oil by-pass filter kit
-Couple bottles of Archoil

Looking forward to posting install photos in the "What did you do to your 6.0 today?" thread.

Went to harbor freight today and purchased an assload of hand tools,air ratchets, air torque gun, compressor. Before anyone rips me a new one, I know it's cheap but if they last at least 2yrs and I don't have to pay anyone to do the work on my trucks I save! I never thought I would spend $1.2k there lmao! That beats spending $2.5k to have someone do my oil cooler though!
Nothing wrong with HF imo. Some of their tools have a place in my shop and work van. Alot of them have lasted years. Most all the hand tools hold up well. The jacks r good for the price. The air tools I'm 50/50 on. Impacts r good but angle grinders, ratchets, and such no luck with. Same with compressors, some last and some don't. I went back to dewalt, Milwaukee, snap on, matco, and such for saws, drills, and all the major stuff I use on a daily basis or that has a critical use or tolerance. Also I dunno if it makes a difference, but I have yet to buy the extended warranty on anything and don't regret it.

I purchased the extended warranty on all of the air tools and compressor, I figure if I take care of these items and also handle my click type torque wrenches with care they should last till I decide to spend triple that on matco snap on or other professional tools! The deals they had couldn't be beat with what I wanted to spend to have an arsenal of tools to do my own work with!

If you are only using for your own repairs they ahould last a long time. Especially if you take care of them. Good on you to get the tools to make the job easier.

Bought WFO bottom coilover mounts for my Kings
Installed light bar with two 7 in Optilux (Hella) lights, bought on CL for $100.
Used Polar Wire (amazing stuff) and waterproof connectors to make my wire harness.
Finished last night. Need to do a bit of adjustment and all done. Wired them on Aux1 in my upfitters.

Those lights are pretty bright!

Oh, and air filter
LED head lights and Fog Lights. Also trying to trace the issue with my passenger rear turn signal. Then upgrading to LEDs in the rear. And possibly switch backs in the front.
