Thanks. I'm waiting on new 12-points for the hot side of the turbo, so no spider for now anyways.

^^^Thank you everyone, I'm really happy with the way it looks. The soap I used on it makes it look better than it is. It has a few battle scars, 190,000 and counting. I'm amazed at what a great vehicle it's been.

Yeah, we got lucky in 2000 buying one off the lot. There are few family vehicles one is proud to own after 18 yrs.

Replaced all of the ELC coolant that I put in a few months ago!! Water pump took a dump in Salt Lake City on the way back to CO!! I do not know how I made it home, but I did, also did an oil change.

Today was a fun day, washed the truck first and then swapped in my G2 locking hubs to get rid of the crappy auto lock units. Also installed the set of 35s and wheels that I traded an AR15 for to a guy. Don't worry, I have plenty of AR15s left, I just didn't shoot that one much so I figured I'd get more use out of the wheels and tires. I still have my 32" tires with 17" wheels in case I don't care for towing with these.
Anyway, on to the pics:

Well, it's that time of year again. Towed my rusty old dump trailer up to my firewood stockpile I keep at my MIL's house. Time to shuffle 6 or 7 cord home and stack inside the barn.

Wife hi-fived a parked truck... With the mirror that I just replaced last month.

Apparently it was that or a school bus, so I guess all things considered it wasn't that bad.

Sure is a pretty blue Ex! I know I could probably do a search, but it's just easier to ask you, what front bumper is that? I like the front hitch.

Ouch, sorry.

Silver Lining: Once you get a replacement set, you'll have a spare drivers side mirror, "just in case."
