    This is what she looked like when I first picked her up. Untouched virgin taco :')

    Good peeps all around! It's going! You find a new axle yet? Mine should be available soon. Im not sure when but soon. Also I found another one, he's asking for 500 and it's locked. I'm not sure if you're looking for one with a locker or not. He's local too

    Got clamps for the camper shell in the mail today, the guy I bought it from before had clamps I had to drill into the side rails on the bed. I didn't want to make any holes for something that I wasn't sure I was going to keep. These are the clamps I bought on Amazon
    $27 Mounting Clamps Truck Caps Camper Shell Powder-Coated Replacement for Chevy Silverado Sierra 1500 2500 3500, Dakota Ram 1500 2500 3500,F150 F250,Tundra Set of 6 (black)
