What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Army used to use a device similar to this on the infiltration course for basic trainees. The infiltration course is the one where they crawl under wire while somebody is "shooting" over their heads. Contrary to popular belief, and depicted falsely in movies, very rarely are actual rounds ever used, but sounds really cool.

 

Thanks! The bumper light bar is a Cali Raised 32" bar with their mounts.

 

I feel your Taco is feeling left out of the love wall there.

 

Any cutting involved? Nice look!

 

Kinda sorta yes.

Each province has a base federal government sales tax (GST) of 5% and then each province levies their own provinical sales tax (0-10%) that fund provincial services.

That tax is paid on all goods services etc.

Then theres income tax on top of that for total income.

Not to mention peoperty taxes, annual vehicle registration (tax) etc.

I figured it out one year and 55% of my gross income goes to taxes in one form for another (income tax + gst + pst + vehicle registrations + property tax etc) I live in the highest taxed province of Nova Scotia.

Oh Canada... the true north strong and free (but not free...taxed to hell)

 

My sympathies. The more I learn, the more I worry our political system is going the same way. Good luck to you.

 

Oh my goodness!
Toss some cob corn, boiled red taters in the boil and oh a bowl of melted butter to drag those mud bugs through and I'm in!!
Watching me dive on this and you'd swear this Yankee was born on the bayou, well except for the melted butter, that's a Yankee thing!
We have humongous mud bugs up here, we call them lobsters.
Now I'm hungry!

 

Just drove her to work. But sure realized I bought the right truck. God that thing is ugly.

 

I wouldn't say it's ugly, but certainly has no soul.

 

I vote for ugly, double ugly!

 

Oh yea, nothing is free even though people seem to think so.

 

What I did today... nothing.
What I did yesterday... nothing.
What I did on Friday... nothing.

For a couple weeks I had been looking forward to finally hammering out some mods I've had sitting in the pile for a long time. I was going to make use of a nice, roomy, heated garage space at work that I knew no one was going to care about this weekend. Gathered parts and tools together and tossed them in the bed, then late on Thursday on started coming down with the flu (and I did get my vaccination). It was bad enough that I probably should have gone to the clinic or hospital. Just starting to get an appetite back today. This sucks, I don't recommend it.

 

That's what I'm gonna do when I'm dead.

 

That basically ruined your whole weekend. Hopefully you can get some rest. I used over the counter Zicam the last time I got sick and in 2 days I was back to normal.
The road is paved with good intentions. Maybe next weekend you will get to dwindle down the mod pile. Good luck.

 

Glad the worst has passed and that you're starting to feel better. The mods will wait.
I got the shot too but I'm not going to jinx myself.
I AM the world's worst patient!

Regular canned concentrated Cambell's Chicken Noodle Soup at least once a week during flu season along with the annual flu shot, I swear by it.
Don't know if the whole chicken soup thing is the real deal or an old wives tale but whatever works!


Edit: forgot the Emergen-C powder in a glass of water once or twice a week at first sign of others getting sick.

 

Not the best picture of a dirty truck, but my beautiful bride of 38 years had my Christmas present (wheels) installed yesterday.

 

I've only spent the night in the hospital a couple times in my adult life (minor surgery), but that was enough for me to realize that I am downright grumpy with the staff even though I don't mean to be, and I know they're trying to do what's best for me. I now have a pair of fuzzy bunny slippers for whenever the next overnight stay is. I figure it's harder to lose patience with a grumpy old guy wearing a pair of fuzzy bunny slippers.

I like the chicken soup idea. With either, it might be a case of "If you think it will work, it will work." I usually just try to avoid other people when there's something going around.

 

ET Lugnuts right? Lug-centric instead of hub-centric? Basically most aftermarket options are.

 

Looks good! How much bumper trimming was required?
