    Welp, guess the front bumper is going hybrid for now. Still thinking about how I want to fill the center in. Probably going to stuff a light bar or two in there.

    Welp, finally got bored and 3d printed out some new hubcaps. Each one is about a 10 hour print, but they look better than what was already there

    Yeah. Gonna whip up a 200k slightly abused review video, though it would be fun to highlight what this truck has been through and held up to.

    And it's time to pull the ol bird out of the weeds and start restofying it bringing it back up to speed.
    It have some work ahead of it. The way it sits now it needs both front CV's (have cheapos in there now), rear driveline needs some work (somebody seems to have put some dents in it...). Rear leafs are pretty tired, going with alcans next. Then rebuild the grill with a little tube and some light bars, and add a little tubing to fill some gaps. Then new hood and clean some fiberglass up. And hopefully paint/rubber coating.
    At least thats the immediate list...

    Also, add a roof rack, and rear tire swing out after the leafs get replaced. Built a few bad ass tire carriers for other people, now it's time to build my own. On the tire swingout., Planning to add a spot for spare CV axle and have the tire mounted on a spare wheel bearing. Then I will at least have spares of those on the trail for the next time I crunch them.

    Updated a sticker. +3.47 hamster power. Also helps soothe the Savage beast if it happens to get a little carried away.

    Note to self, don't buy an air bag kit meant for factory suspension, if your suspension isn't factory... Nothing. Absolutely nothing besides the bag itself and fittings is useful

    Thank you, and yes and it will continue to see more things despite the close resemblance to a golf ball

    She may be ugly, but at least I not scared to take it out and play with it.
