Took it camping. This little site is about 115 miles from the house and sits right by a little creek. The 20 miles of forest road was a dusty SOB, but it was good to get out for a weekend.

My front tires were getting some uneven wear so I rotated them yesterday. Today I had them on the highway and got some strange sounds out of them.

I used a bunch of touch up paint to cover all the dings in the sides of my truck. It is an 03 model and getting pretty well dinged up. Still need to fix the area behind the rear tires where the gravel has taken most of the paint off.

Finally got the el-cheapo light bar installed (as recommended in the 'Deer Hunting Truck' thread. My truck has the sealed beam headlights, and even the upgraded Sylvania XtraVision lights need help.

Old Jolly Green made it up here by vehicle shipper. The original 2bbl autolite was shot - touchy to tune and wouldn't hold a tune. Had 4bbl holley 600cfm and edelbrock rpm intake installed (and an HEI) while moved up here, so first time have gotten to play with it. Been a bit balky since rolled off the shipper. Found the right bank mixture screw 1/2 turn mismatched - re-dialed the mixture and her 390 pulls like a champ now - woof. 18.5psi vac at 800-900rpm idle (estimated off dash, don't know how to read tach off an hei setup yet.) Am young enough to not have any carb experience beyond lawnmowers, so this has been a fun learning experience. Marine formula ethanol protectant added to every fillup, and tank maintained topped off.

Not today but last week..........

I had a whine in under the hood of my '11 Tacoma. Wasn't sure if it was the alternator or one of the three idler pulleys. MY trusty mechanic found the bad idler and also put new baloney's on her.

This time I went with Toyo Open Country H/T's instead of the A/T's. I'm doing more highway driving with it for business and the A/T's were pretty noisy. Put 900 miles on the new rubber since Thursday and am very pleased with them, thus far.

I got 40,000+ miles out of the A/T's.......

I have a BB to put in a 98 ZJ limited.
Too hot today.

Buddy's kid has half of his RC 4.5" on his XJ. Might swing over to lend a hand.

I have a set of 32x11.5 MTRs.........from my dead ZJ (3.5" lift). Dunno if I want to sell em, or stash them for a Wrangler next yr. Or do I wnt to do the BB and break out the saw, cut to fit.

My old ZJ was a rust bucket, the 98 is clean.

I got 40+K on an old set of MTRs, 32's.
But probably should have junked them at 35K.
Got pretty squirrely.

New ones, not sure about yet.

32s are gonna be really tight if you don't cut. I've seen some pretty clean cut fenders on ZJs. I did mine with a jig saw and they came out pretty good.

Installed a 4" Cat Back exhaust on the F-350 Powerstroke. Very pleased with it; not much louder unless you really get on it, and no difference while just running down the road. My exhaust now has a nice, clear path from the turbo back.

I put some new nerf bars on my Dodge 2500. I had cab length ones on it but I got tired of needing a footstool to get things out of the high bed. I went to wheel-to-wheel bars. MUCH better.

Put the switch below the headlight switch so it's relatively handy. Mounted the light bar on the top of the bumper portion of the grill guard, where it tucked in pretty nicely. Thanks again for the link and recommendation on the light bar, I'm pretty darned happy with it so far!
