Just driving by again guys to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
I apologize for my lack of posting, but my Mustang and Fairlane are coming along nicely. Lot of custom work/fabrication on the Mustang with new suspension and a 428.
I got out for a few days to the desert again last week to chill and thought I'd post a vid 'cause we all love truck ****. Every time I play this movie it lets me know how much work I have yet to do on the truck. Like going to a serpentine system instead of V belts. You'll hear why. I WILL get to it after the cars.
This hill is steeper than it looks with some big ole rocks in the middle. Had to winch a Landcruiser up this thing. BTW I need a winch too.

Here's the Mustang a couple months ago. Core support has been hacked on for a larger crossflow rad since and lots of other stuff.

I have not yet, but I'm getting plenty horny to get it done.
It will happen this year and I'll do a write up and test it with some video.
I'm feeling bad about neglecting the truck but it's so damn good it just keeps going. Having a locker in front really helps and when it's 4x lockable it'll be pretty darn unstoppable.
BTW folks ask me about steering because of front lockers and it is no problem at all. You can feel it when you're on the flat driving at speed but it's not bad at all. And obviously if you need it on a hill or in the sand and mud it's great. It's going to be awesome with selectable rear lock.
Having to get out and manually lock the front may bug me when I get older but for now I dig it, just like rolling up my windows and manual shifting.
Hope y'all got what you wanted from Santa. I'm eating way to much and watching way to much tube today but what the hell, I/we deserve it.
All my best to you guys.
