Tested out some 1000 and 1500 3M Purple finishing disks today. Fast, smooth cutting. Only sanded one door to get ready to buff.

Removed the bug deflector and fender guards this weekend. Haven't seen the truck like this since June of '01!

I'm a bit torn on the look...

Added KC stone guards to the off road lights.

Straightened out my bumper today. It sagged to the passenger side... Fixed it, but then noticed that the bumper was diagonally slanted under the fenders...redid it... Sags less on passenger side. Used mothers mag to bring back the black trim!

Took a trailer from Sunray to Floydada to load up some furniture, then drove back to Sunray. Had the tuner on Towing, and she pulled well made me happy knowing she still had some guts left in her. My water/methanol was used (manually) the entire trip, and I never heard a ping whatsoever. Glad I built the system. 171 miles one way, and with a very rough estimate, considering winds blew like a ****, against me one way, with me the other, I averaged around 11.5 MPG. That includes trailer empty and full. Not as bad as I imagined.

Realized I need to beef up the rear suspension on my truck. Hauled enough lumber to build a 12' x 24' deck. With 12' board length of treated lumber it was sitting WAY low in the back. Unfortunately I didn't get a pic but it looked like I was popping a wheelie in the dang thing. Also I f***ed up my tailgate pretty good...nothing a dead blow hammer couldn't fix...somewhat. :-)

Wh1t3Nukle, that's coming along very nicely!

I deleted my tranny check valve and installed an inline filter, finally put the base and clear coat on my roof and fenders, and changed my oil! Fairly productive weekend

Thanks man.



Today the WN was given rocks to eat. The only backtalking was a scuffed driveshaft (shaved some scale off). The rock sliders kept the attitude in check.
