Its a great place to be. Still not over it. Every night is a display of awesomeness.

Ha thanks!

 

How far are you from billings? 1/2hr or so?

 

I bet. My view is a lot less desirable haha but we did spend the long weekend putting in a fence and retaining wall so at least it's a bit nicer place to be.

 

Little further than that. When the construction goes away it's around 45-55min depending on where you're going. So not bad at all.

Nice work. Bushes look much better. Fence also looks much nicer.

 

Those Master Halco posts I see?

 

Might be calling you in the next couple weeks see if you want to air bnb me a room later this year. Have some deets to figure out first

 

Something like that. Set in concrete with true 2x4 stringers and fir planks that are rough cut to 1" thick. it's a solid fence, although if you push on it the posts flex a bit. Not going to complain as my FiL brought all the material down from CDA and has been helping us get it done.

 

Pricey, but they are good. You won't regret it

 

Sure thing. Be glad to have you.

 

This was nearly rust free 5 years ago...



Hope y'all had a good weekend. Enjoyed all the freedom!

 

Honestly that's not as bad as I'd think it would be.

Igor was similar story after 3 winters in st Louis

 

I don't know if all of you follow the transformation the green truck is under but this weekend was the most "am I doing what I really want to do" moment. I plan to swap the wheels over to the smaller tire but so far this is a big change that is going to take some time to stomach. Tires, suspension and sliders are gone.

 

Mount those sliders on the wall.

 

I mounted them to my parts pile on the backyard.

 

Well that's not as fun or cool.

 

but y tho

 

All in prep for the LS swap. Shooting for 100mph in the quarter mile. The wight and 35s would be fighting against me, not to mention, 100mph on mid tires would be sketchy.

 

bold move

not the first thing id put an LS in with the intent of going to the drag strip lol. god speed

An LS with some bomber LT would be so fun tho

 

LT for what, trips to home Depot? I haven't wheeled the truck in a year and just don't have the social group local for it. I've done the wheeling thing, time to do something different with the truck. Anymore it's just used as a truck to haul shit from point A to point B. It's a fun project to me with plenty of challenges. Will it be super fast? Nope. Do I care? Nope. I've said it before, 400hp, 5spd 4x4 will be a fun little truck around town.

 

Same reason I wish to turbo my single cab and put AWD in it. Probably give your truck a run actually if I ever did it due to it being 1000lbs lighter.
