Managed to make enough room to get all 3 in the garage, feels like we're finally moved in all the way

Had a buddy take a picture for me(to show me it hadn't been tagged like somebody claimed it was). Nope, right where I left her! Also, those sweet heated semi truck mirrors I won't be able to use this year..


I also need to get a better mounting bracket made up, so the mirror sticks out a little farther...

well on friday i pulled a new to me pickup bed trailer 72 model dragged it out of a very cramped spot by hand after i replaced the tires then pulled it through a ditch with a chain.... but it was all worth it after i pulled it from Barnsdall to Peru (55 miles around 70 mph and still maintained a 10 mpg avg) i had some family stuff to attend to until today so i just spent the last 2 hours taking the entire rear brake assemblies off and swapping them onto my 66 so now i have the bigger, wider, and better brakes which just so happened to be very very new by the looks of them and if the rest of the truck had looked as good as the bed did its a shame they destroyed this bumpside just to make a trailer out of it.... i bled and tested the brakes i also swapped one axle from the trailer into my truck since its splines were so much better than the 66's now sometime i need to remove the tailgate and hardware and put it in my 66 so i can finally have a tailgate on my truck....... so what did you do to your truck today?

Oops

Realized in my rush to grab a good deal, I didn't send the IDM to my Mom's house when I checked out.
So it seems the IDM will be joining me on my deployment!

Painted a rollcage I picked up for the CJ and mock mounted it in. Didn't line up the best with the tub so I started poking around underneath and found that my body mounts were shot at best. Starting to contemplate taking the tub off the frame and getting in way over my head..............
