Things are a bit slow around here, but we're here! That build sounds like a fun one

Well finally found me a DD that I can drive in the trails and such to keep my 88 f150 and 83 bronco in good shape.
It is a 2005 chevy Colorado 3.5L extended cab with custom bumpers, headache rack, 4" skyjacker lift, XD Hoss 16x8 wheels wrapped with 265 75 16 tires, Jet chip, Volant intake, and banks exhaust. It is also a 5 speed manual. Gets a lot better gas mileage then my trucks so that is helping a lot. Still plan to take good care of this but wanted something I don't go and scratch all up my bronco and F150.

Great plan! Beat the crap out of that Chevy, and use the Fords to tow it back home to fix

Haha yeah the heat hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be either. Dry heat itsn't really bad at all. Humidity on the other hand.... that stuff is terrible!
One of our water pipes burst two days ago but we got that fixed real quick! It's not any fun having no water when it gets this warm out.
