2.8 in the books, one more signed off. We have to be done by the end of this week. Busy Busy.

Unk Bob I love to get KaBluey but I have my plate full with the projects I have and the giant lack of time to even get them done. Maybe the price will keep the riff raff at bay? What about FTE classified section?

Evening all. Jesse helped me finish up the ball joints on the dually and move the uneven tires to the back. Next time they need replacing, it's going to a shop somewhere. It tracks nice and straight now so I'm all set for this season's towing chores.

Tomorrow I need to rotate Jesse's tires one last time before we replace them and change the oil in the truck..

Evening Everyone!

I didn't get a single thing done truck related, but the grass is cut, push mowed and trimmed. Tomorrow I gotta jam on getting the quarters welded on EQ. Family dinner is at 1500, so I better hit it early.

Happy Easter!

Just remember the best Easter Egg hunt is when the kids are searching for eggs that were never hidden.

After rotating the tires on Jesse's car we took a quick look at the wiring for the aftermarket radio to see if we can figure out why it's been acting odd. Whoever installed it was a moron and it's a mess. Jesse's out there extracting the wiring harness from the mess its in so we can go get an adapter and do it right this time. I bet they used half a roll of electrical tape in there.

Dave. That's never fun. Good luck getting it squared away.

I got the old skin peeled off of Earthquake. and the new passenger quarter back on the truck. I'll get the driver's side done tomorrow and then I can start on the mud work. I hope I can get the back half of the truck painted this week. I guess we'll see.

It was actually pretty easy to straighten out. A new adapter to the factory plug and a bunch of butt connectors later it works better than it ever has.

Oil change is done on the dually so all I have left on the immediate to fix list is the power steering pump on the Durango and tires for Jesse's car.

must be rich.. alan never mud race it.... maybe he can finally get all the mud out of it.. so when you look under it and touch anything, you wont have to get the dirt out of your eyes..i have never seen a truck hang onto the old dirt as bad as earthquake, but it is getting better all the time..

Rich. Yeah, that's still old mud.

RC. I'll never say I'm getting the last of the mud out of this thing. I honestly think all the mud in the universe comes from this truck. It just produces dirt and mud somehow, then sheds it at random intervals. ....and that's where continental drift comes from.
