Dang, that's a lot of stuff! It's fun to work on our stuff (most times...) I'm just getting started on freshening mine up after a long break from the diesel world as well.

 

It seems to go in phases for me depending on other hobbies or home maintenance. I'm enjoying the diesel work right now. Plus, I want the truck working well so I can depend on it for long road trips.

 

Yeah, that's the adulting part of life! At least you're in AZ, nice and rust free. I spent 3 years in Yuma, would not recommend!

 

I spent the last 20 years in AZ which is where the truck came from. I've spent time in Yuma, not my favorite place.

Currently I'm visiting family in Indiana.
