Put new tires on (Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs - pics coming soon), and drove the truck to work two days in a row. That's almost a record lately. I realized when I was buying the tires that in the last 3 years, i've put 16k on the truck is all.

No, all 4 tires are dry rotted, they are in no way or shape safe. It was cheaper to get rims/tires off craigslist than to buy 4 new tires.

put my old slide in camper in the truck and went for a spin. I have only put 80 kms on my "new" diff and wanted to take her for a short drive to make sure all is well. And it is.

I should try and take a picture tomorrow!

CONGRATS!!!! I would MUCH rather get up and go to work every day, than be stuck on disability... (which is currently the case, and extremely likely to remain so......) I made a hell of a lot more money when I was working. Funny how it works that way.....

NIce shoes Silver!

And no, I'm not even close, even if I could do everything on my list of things that need done. It's good to be broke (LOL) NOT!
My focus for the show this year is to try and get the back end looking good. Something had to be done with the bumper and tailgate. So I'm trying paint. And if I have time, pull out my last bit off road damage on my passenger rocker panel.
Oh, and a grille shell... that would deal with the glaring flaws...then its clean, clean and paint with semi gloss black.
T-29...
Polished out the drivers rear quarter... excellent!
Ground the welds off my pipes and removed my rusted out Chinese chromed tips that didn't last a year. Never again!
Pulled my spare and hi-lift out of the bed to clean it and them.
