it has an ARE cap too. so.. now theres a snug top, leer and a ARE in the family... need to find a century now. lol

 

i do need a passenger rear head rest and a tailgate.

 

Speaking of rusty junk that would pass as mint condition in Indiana. Here's my cleaned out rail with the rotten chunk removed, more prep to do but it's really all solid besides the one spot, other side was fine too (welded the access flap closed) but I'm still gonna cap it for good measure.







Gotta grind everything clean and remove the old leaf mounts to prepare for the cap.

 

Dropped the truck off for a new head, radiator and having them change all the brake lines for stainless

then my work starts

 

Getting a whole new head huh? Spendy to get a new casting or nah?

 

They ordered a head to have on hand just in case I guess.


Not cheap

 

Wasn't when I got one either. Fucker was $900 just for the empty casting

 

Then the labor n shit


Ooof

 

Hey, I would love that challenge, but I think I know you well enough to know you'd never be happy with a repair on something that toasted.

I'm getting a CNC table next month, so if you really want some section cut, let me know. I'm going to be looking for more of a challenge than "Welcome" signs for family!

 

Hey I’m all for patching this thing just to plate and drive it in the mean time so it doesn’t sit

 

Y’all got that Bluetooth propeller

 

Okay. I'll get with you.

 

I think I got the should and knee sun burn out of the way for this summer today.


It’s not a good feeling but at the same time it is

 

Sunburnt eyelids is the worst

 

Scum glasses help with that

 

New fuel tank straps, new skid plate, a battery mount that fits. Shit, this thing might not fall apart after all.

 

This Chernobyl show just seems like a giant shit show

 

About like the real event.

I've got the 'Midnight in Chernobyl' audio book loaded on my phone, need to find a time to listen to it when I feel like being angry and depressed.

 

Is it any good?

Been contemplating for months if I want to watch it or not; @xtremewlr got me into watching 'The Boys'

 

I’m watching the one on HBO, it’s only like 5 episodes I think.

interesting to me for sure

I don’t know much about it, but if this is what it was like, Russia’s a mess.
