Yes. Do you prefer D or FW? are you just looking for more comfortable or getting a nice leather or custom type stuff done?

LOL...D I guess. I like FW but D is closer. I am looking more comfort and affordability than plush leather. Good cup holders definitely!

Happy Saturday all! I spent a good amount of time yesterday spit shining Ruby and it sure felt good. She's been neglected for the last 6 months due to the ranch job and me having ZERO time. I wiped down every nook and crannie with GoJo wipes and made her all nice and clean. I am stoked! I'll get a photo up for fun when i upload it to the bucket.

I also spent some time on Ebay just looking at OBS trucks to see what they are going for. Needless to say, I was a little miffed at some of the outright crooked crap going on. One "auto dealer" asking $29k for a 97 with 70k miles on it. Upon closer inspection, if you really know how to look, there's rust underneath, leaking fluids, and a cig burn on the driver's seat. I just can't believe what people try to get away with anymore and that's only one of 5-6 I saw like that. Some poor guy who knows nothing about these trucks is gonna think that's the going rate and pay the ridiculous money. Ah well, that's my Saturday rant. Glad it's not me.

Enjoy the Sabbath for those that observe! Have a great day!

Looks good. Mine's probably gonna get some love today, because it has truly earned its keep over the past couple weeks with all the towing and such.

My list got just a touch longer today. Truck got serviced and washed, but I found out my rear fuel tank is leaking a little bit. Not a big leak, but it's leaving its mark on the ground for sure. Found a Spectra tank on eBay (of all places) for less than the big stores were selling for, so it's on its way here to be put in sooner than later.

These are the guys in D that fixed my seat frame when the springs broke and then added foam to make the seat better than when it was new. (I had replaced the foam once with factory foam and what these guys did was heads and tails above that.)

Dallas upholstery| Dallas auto upholstery | Dallas auto upholstery repair

Price was extremely reasonable. Website makes it look like more of a professional establishment than they are. When you go there, it's just a hole in the wall with a couple of guys working on stuff type of place.

That lift gets it up high but I suppose a PSD is not that easy to get high.


Just read your other post Bill, Ya, I've been on that streak of things not going well.
