The Lair

Looks way further than 90'.

And just in case you were losing sleep: the side steps are off the truck (no truck damage), and I've ordered more Durabak to finish the sliders. Now I can wheel without consequence.

 

Leslie worked his magic on it and damn.

 

This is some quality content in response to yoga pant chick earlier.

 

Intern at work has the same drone. Told me the other day he shoots under exposed, I think is what he said, because it's easier to darken than lighten.

Maybe I'm full of shit too? lol

 

So USPS removes all vehicle badging and even use a custom grill emblem.

 

They look great! I gotta get back into mine!

 

he’s right. It’s easier to lighten a dark photo as opposed to trying to darken a light photo.

 

Maybe their delivery trucks needed alignments. This could happen you know

must be using that $10B loan to buy some sweet new rides.

 

They definitely should. The existing Grumman vehicles you associate with USPS mailmen get like 8mpg and are held together by duct tape and twine at this point.

 

I agree, but either way the business model is flawed and it will continue to lose money, and will need another bailout in a few years.

 

They need something. The LLVs are based on a Chevy S-10 frame using the 2.2 Iron Duke motor so that tells you how old they are. And I guess the updated version based off the Ranger (I think) never quite made it. The old ones weren't bad, just horribly outdated. And of course, the government gets involved and makes them worse. At some point they came up with some thermal switch for the ignition because it was decided that something faulty in the ignition wiring was causing fires. They kind of sucked to install. We scrambled to get as many installed as possible. A few months later something changed, or screwed-up and we were told to pull all of them off.

And you want to talk about a vehicle that is downright scary/fun in the snow. RWD and an e-brake right next to the steering wheel in the style of those tension ones they use in Humvees and other vehicles.

Heh. Don't worry, I have plans for one. Being based off the S-10 opens up so many possibilities. Not just the LS swap, but air bag suspension and sweet wheels. This crap has been running around in my head for around 20 years.

 

My parents live in Manassas, so I'd love to come witness the fire breathing mail truck when you have it finished!

 

Fo' sho'! Who knows if it'll ever happen. So many projects wanted and no garage space currently.

 

Saw that earlier too! Guess I need to recruit my wife! Haha

 

Damn! Sup Son?! How ya bean?
