What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Put on the last of the armour today. Had some help with the bumper and then installed the lights afterwards. Just waiting on a harness for the light bar and then it will all work!

Also, I just spliced the fog lights into the stock wiring. No power source, no fuse. Just two wires for each of the fog lights and I just combined them and "shoved" them into the stock wiring that is for the stock dog harness. Maybe they could be brighter? Seem blinding to me

 

open door or switch

 

Kevin are you gonna use the mini ex to pull the motor?

 

right on man

 

Wow. I expected to see some snow up that high still with the winter we had. I hope to do Webster some day, but your experience is reminding me to do it with friends. I'm under the impression it's tougher than Imogene.
Time to hunt down a thread of good Colorado trails; time to explore some more (safely).

Glad that you and your truck are out safely.

 

Nada, was classy and used a forklift haha. I have used the mini to pull all the motors in the past though

 

Mine was integrated tailgate lock. Morning after signing a 31k loan for the truck I come out to a hobo using my tailgate as a bench to shoot up. Seattle for ya

 

Bangbangs, pointy stabbies, tacos AND cats? Did we just become best friends!?
What’s in the leather slip pouch?

 

lol Yes
It’s a modern traditional Slipjoint by LionSteel
Made in Italy designed after the Barlow pattern. M390 blade steel and it’s a great slicer definitely a handy every day carry. I actually collect knives so I really enjoy them.

Here’s a beautiful fixed blade made by Bark River called a Bravo 1 with Crosscut Mammoth and Mosaic pins.

 

I’ve learned pictures can be very deceiving and I bet getting that truck out of there without rolling it was much more challenging then it appears. I’m sure that angle is a lot more steep than the picture dictates.

 

Oof. That bug bit me too…
That lionsteel is slick and I’m a sucker for mammoth fixies. That BRK is gorgeous!

I have a lil fat Busse in mammoth tooth. The local stabbery put some blue mammoth ivory on one of their house blades and redid the inlays on my sebenza with something similar. Same place also does insane ano work. They collaborate with an artist to make stuff like that titanium scaled bug out.
No safe queens! Use ‘em or lose em!

In an attempt to keep it vaguely truck related here’s my ghetto diy molle mount for my truck knife while I wait for a rigid panel to come back into existence:

 

knife collecting is a sickness that people dont understand

 

Very nice !
Yes so true and Ive got a safe full with so many knives it’s hard to enjoy them all.
But I have fun trying
I also recently stopped buying more knives to help feed my new Taco addiction lol.

 

Thanks Brother ! You’ve got a nice variety going there of some beautiful knives also.
Edit: Also CRK makes some outstanding knives and I love his philosophy, cut once Measure twice .

 

@RIX TUX @TheFactor I’m so lucky that my local shop takes trades and geeks out on blades as hard as I do. They always order the latest and the greatest, so I never have to get anything online, which is a rarity up here. Whenever I get tired of something or feel self conscious for having too many, I’ll trade it in for some fresh steel.
There’s a couple collectors around town that take turns owning some of the really fancy blades for a while then trading them in. Sometimes when I’m flush, I’ll stop in and grab one of their show room pieces and take it out to gut salmon or skin an ungulate and then trade it back into rotation

 

If it were me, I wouldn’t bother with tuning from the middle, although you may want to try running pink noise with you in the truck and the mic at the side of each ear for 2 samples.

 

You are lucky and I use to have a local knife shop but they moved out of state. So now I do all my purchases from online dealers without having the opportunity to see and feel it In hand. So I just do my research on YT and a knife forum I’m on which also allows me to sell knives to keep the rotation going. Although I always end up buying two and selling one lol.

 

You should try 1911s. That's much worse.

 

I don't have a plastic bumper, my truck doesn't have the trim on it at the moment.
