What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Well that sucks, I'm DoD as well but with enough separation from our HQ that we can use FF.

 

Thanks...I'm pretty much ready to pull the trigger on one. I'm already using a ceramic coating so I know how I want to finish the truck once I do a paint correction. It's already got a killer shine to it so I am looking forward to seeing it after I do a meticulous paint correction.

 

It's on an exemption-only basis here in the VA for Windows systems but approved on those rare Unix systems that have an external connection.

Our issue with FF is in the patch testing cycle - it releases updates at a significantly faster rate than everyone else and we can't test it fast enough. As soon as one release is approved for install, there are already Nessus findings on it and we're receiving the next patch.

It's nuts.

 

I used to attend the Huey flight simulator down at the Bell plant in Arlington, Texas, annually. It was an amazing sim, full ride realism, which sometimes made people get sick. It was an amazing tool to try new things or recovery methods that you would never consider doing in the real aircraft.

Seems like many of us yearn for the old days. I've always found it fascinating how people with similar life experiences and hobbies seem to gravitate together. For example, our love of these trucks. Look how many of us have similar backgrounds and tastes.

Anyway, you've dated yourself, colonel! While you were at Fort Sill in 80-83 I was still in High School.

 

1992 was a big year for me. I attended under-water egress training in Pensacola, SERE school in Spokane, then Helicopter flight school in Kirtland AFB New Mexico...after that I went on to my first flying duty assignment which was in your neck of the woods, Andrews AFB in Maryland.

 

Army 66-60875 UH-1H, 1980/86

 

Ordered a hitch mount bed extender, some rhino straps and console organizer.

 

Some badging and retro mudflaps. I've decided I dont want to do the retro look and instead want to go for bigger tires so I will be selling these in the Marketplace once I have been here long enough to post there.

 

I installed my fire extinguisher mount and also my MESO Stealth Pro knob. Waiting on them to release their door lever covers before i order that. Then the last of the chrome trim shall be gone! Muahahaha!

Where do I get this dashmat? Looks nice.

 

Comes free with a 30 pack of ultra....

 

Didn't really do anything to the Taco, but I got the winch in, still awaiting the bumper to put it in

Picked up a Warn 9.5 xp-s. It came with the wireless controller, which I didn't know it did so that was a nice surprise. I was kinda thinking as opening the box "for this price the damn thing should have wireless" lol. Pretty expensive, but it's the same winch I had on my Xterra and it was freaking bulletproof.

 

True...

 

I put on ARB rear air locker, and regeared to 4.88

 

Nice! Made an already capable truck even better!

 

And made my local shop very happy lol.

I am building this truck backwards, and they are digging it.

 

I don't think your going backwards. I'm sure you used the truck on and off road and assessed that you want more capability.

 

Yeah, you could say that. I just perfer to get the high cost items out of the way early. We are building this up as our vacation truck. First thing was what we did today, suspension next, then going to get the bumper/wench/armor, and we are going to get tires when we get were we are going.

 

Sounds like a solid plan

 

Must be a b#@&! to keep balanced. That's some hard core usage!
