Well I finally got some pics up, my truck has been working hard all week long! And didn't even givee a problem.

It all started on Saturday, I went to the local stone quarry and got a full bucket of river rock to do some landscaping.

As you can see it was quite heavy, I did not get an exact weight but my rear bumpstops were sitting on my factory block! Here's another picture from a different angle

Then on Monday I borrowed my uncles 16' trailer and picked up some 2x6s and 2x8 to start building a shed/work shop. (stupid dog is always in the picture lol)

Today I gave the truck a oil change and threw some new copper plugs at her just to show i still love her. I didn't take any pics because I'm sure all of you already know what that looks like! Lol

Wet sanded the right side of cab today. Little glazing putty in a few spots.

Going to get a wet orbital sander before I take on any more projects. Sanding is too much like work!

Yes I did. Thanks. I used foil tape to patch the bigger than a soft ball holes in the back bumper. I just did the factory wheels with a glossy black since I lost a trim ring. Will post picks after I get another coat on them and it's light out.

I gave the truck the first hauling test yesterday... A full bed of wood for the bonfire tonight! She was a beast and handled it easily... up hills and all. LOVE that damn truck...

Had my driver side seat bottom cushion repaired this morning. The previous owner must have had a wide ***. The part of the cushion along the side next to the door was flattened out. Felt like I was leaning against the door when I drove it. The local upholstery shop did an awesome job cutting the cushion apart and gluing in new pieces. Feels like a brand new seat now.

Default Night, Snow Wheeling Mormon Emigrant Trail

After all these years, the white junk got stuck. Went up with another 2nd Gen, a Jeep TJ, and Jeep JK. All of us were stuck at one point. Straps all around on eachother's front and rears. Does that read funny? lol

These are the best pics...at night time.

Me stuck



Other Dodge coming to me and getting stuck



All of us out airing back up





Ate some homemade brownies during the air up.
