Yeah! Its 10'-6" of whitey killer.

Being 60*f out, ill be busy as heck..

Lol

Pre season inspection of the main connector I repaired before last season. Plowed all winter, and it held up fine.

Made the oem pin "greaseable". Drilled it out, put a zerk on the end, and greased it all season. Barely any wear at all

Good for another 10 years.

Oliver is in the purple shirt, and Thrashingcows is standing in front of the chick, a former mod here named Faith.

That was a weekend of heavy drinking, and 1st gen tooling around...

My wife drove my truck for the first time ever. She found a dog agility piece of equipment for free and I talked her thru how to start it, shift it, how it brakes like a freight train, ect and met her after work at the pickup site so I could drive it back. She said if was.... Terrifying compared to her Tacoma.

Wife had to use my 87 D250 years ago to go pick up some bunk beds for our daughters while I was at work....of course one of the hottest days of summer, and I forgot to tell her how to rig the AC so it would come on....she was not happy. Called me once she got there and I walked her through the process to get the AC to turn on...she still grinds me over that one.....

Her current car a 11 Dodge caliber, she had a certain list of options and amenities she wanted...she called it the "Princess package"... She was only able to find "one" with everything but the exterior colour she wanted (that metallic bronze) But that was not a deal breaker.

My wife Sue has absolutely no problem driving my truck. She likes it. I guess I'll keep her.

My Co-workers have 03-06 GM's...both have power everything, 6.0 V8's and even power folding mirrors. One of them said "your truck is a man's truck, mines has too much luxury to be a mans truck". Today, I'm going to have to tell him "in 73, Dodge didn't offer the Princess Package".
