Was running the edge of capacity according to:

Tow Ratings


Hitch ratings

Thoughts?


I drove it real easy. I was encouraged to go faster, but 20 mph was just right in street traffic. No ego here to burst.

Thanks! Actually made money on this. Spent $100 on these wheels plus $40 for new lug nuts and sold the ones that were on it for $350. Came out with $200.

Got one set of replacement tail lights today so I installed them tonight. Not the ones I like, but the ones that arrived….

Also connected the remote transmission filter lines on my Ram and added trans fluid….

This is the ones that the bulb melted the plastic and blew the bulbs when I was in Austin the other day…..

This is what I spent the last couple of days working on…..Sanding down to bare metal. All of the rust will be removed and new metal welded in as needed on 54.

Yep. Going to plasti-dip the hood. Paint it black. The clearcoat is just flaking off. It's terrible. Every day I go out, another big section has delaminated. It's like its bubbling up.

Can you tell me why the one in my 76 won't go out? lol

Looks great! Did you plasti-dip your mirrors? Everything looks nice.
