As promised (though admittedly late)

After hours of sanding and the new rubber...


New old tailgat from pullapart...


New windshield from pullapart


Can someone tell me the stock height of an F-100? I want to see if this thing has been lifted.

Your truck does look a little higher than normal.
Is your truck a 4x4 or a Two Wheel Drive?
Never Mind, I decoded the VIN, It's a 4x4. I answered my own stupid question
I can't tell ya how high it should be....
One of my Brochures says 49"...

Haha, the Jeep is feeling pretty neglected since I picked up the Dent. Havn't driven her in about 2 weeks!

Trackbar bushing replacement...

So finally got around to replacing the trackbar bushing...
After I got the whacked out cotter pin out, This is what I found...

Good a time as any to use this icon

Installed new bushing...

How about that...I can steer again.

I'll tackle the other end tomorrow. I don't have a wrench big enough to turn that other nut! Sounds like a good enough excuse to buy more tools

So the truck tried to kill me yesterday...driving away out of the parking lot I think "Hmmm I smell gas...better check it out." I jump out, pop the hood and there is gas spraying out of the fuel filter all over the place! I think "OH NO!! Fire imminent!" So I run back around cut the engine and there I sat until a buddy of mine brought over a new filter... Another day in the story of this truck...

Something like that...Today, new brake cylinders and shoes on the rear. I'll do the fronts next saturday. Goes pretty easy when you buy the tools to do it right! I'm gonna need a bigger tool box by the time i'm done!
