XPOTRPR build & BS

nice! Its all coming together!

 

yes! Also borrowed a carpet cleaner to clean the accident up.. but it just needed it anyways. the seats and carpets have never been cleaned since I bought it. I finished up the back of the cab last night.. carpets and the 40 seat thats left in there. came out pretty good! Going to finish today/tomorrow.. do another pass.. some other cleaning and it will be the cleanest it has been since new. lol I'm going to order seat covers too and slap those on afterwards.. get the paint corrected and detailed.. the hood painted.. then buy and build the carport for the backyard.

Need to find some anchors that will work with our backyard layout. thinking of going into the pavers/ground.. and then to the one wall it will be up against.

 

So fresh and so clean clean! (I am listening to Outkast at work right now) Anchoring the carport to pavers is going to be tough. Whats under them? Just sand and dirt? We can drill out the paver to get to the ground and sink a 36" rebar anchor straight into the ground.

 

yeah it will have to go through the pavers and into the ground. I've seen a few anchors that might work out well for my application.. I want to be as non intrusive as I can with everything. I dont want to tear up pavers and or not have it look nice back there after spending all the money to have it done and look nice. so whatever I do, I'll end up cutting up pavers to fit around the anchors.. or find anchors that will leave a small footprint/hole/etc. The neighbor did a carport as well and used angled /L shape anchors that went into the ground and curve back underneath. I'm thinking something like that.

you still coming tomorrow? back room is all yours!

 

Oh those would work too! There are a bunch of ways to get it done and still have it look nice without tearing up your backyard.

And yeah I am. Made other arrangements tho. Going to stay at Kyles buddies house with him. Some rich doctor in Scottsdale. Has a casita for me and pool massive ass house I guess. Thanks tho. I will still be over and hanging out tho!

 

ok sounds good! keep us posted when you got free time.

 

will do fo sho. I guess we are leaving up here around 1ish. So I will be at your place right after you.

 

oh sweet. so you coming straight to our house then? That works out.. Lyd has plans with a friend and I was just gonna be drinking beer and cleaning the truck and stuff.

 

Well if Lyd's not going to be there I will find something else to do


Yeah I am just going to cruise straight over I believe. May swing by the house and drop my bag off and find out where its at. But yeah I will pretty much just come straight over.

 

yeah I know she's the life of the party.

ok cool. just let me know when you're headed over so I can be sure to be at the house in time. we doin a meet then with others?

 

I havent made plans with anyone. Was just going to hangout. I am down for whatever. I wasnt just going to start inviting people over to your house haha

 

Yeah... don't do that

 

Oh no.. I was thinking maybe we pick a place for food/drinks.

 

LOL not cool

Yeah your house I thought. But I am down to go out and get some drinks somewhere. Really only you Andrew Q and Cliff know I am headed down.

 

Gettin there.. working on it a few hours each day after work. Back of the cab is done 100% and finished the driver side 100% and almost finished the passenger side. I have about 9 hours into it and probably need another 3 to get it complete. Might do one more final rinse pass with hot water on everything at the very end. I've been getting in all the door jams, seals, taking plastics off and cleaning behind.. 10+ years of dust, dirt and grime have built up in some areas. Snagged these pics just to show the difference. The seats are the worst.. I should have taken before and after pictures of those instead..

 

Siiiiick! That looks so much better!! Who's greasy ass head is that from lol

 

thats mine.. but your seat is even worse.. lol

 

I have had help over the years to make that seat what it is.

 

Wanna go run Terminator in the dark tonight

 

What time? Never mind, too far of a drive to get there and I’m overdue for a drink today.
