What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (36 Viewers)

[LS1FJ40]

I took my son and his friend and dropped them off to go camping by themselves the other night. 15 years old. They fished and camped. They said they had a blast until about 3:30am when they "heard something" outside the tent. Didn't fall back asleep. They finally got up the guts to get out of the tent at 6am and fished all day. The Large mouth were killing it. They caught about 30 fish each. Had a blast.

Admittedly, it was a bit unsettling knowing they were out there all alone but they are smart kids and handled it like champs. Cooked their own food. Built their own fires. They've done it a million times but it was always with us dads. I'm glad he has a love of the outdoors.

Just borrowed the torches, I'll be going out there Friday to cut the pass side axle out and get the third out to check everything. Hope the locker a d carrier are ok, R&P look fine, and I drove back out to hwy 50 with it broken, 23 miles, and I'm sure it would have had more damage if things were too far askew.

That's crazy stuff. Glad you are getting there. That's a fine acces hole you made. Probably not patching that one with jb weld!

@dogfishlake haha, nope! Gotta weld it all back together, and then weld a big band-aid in weld bead across the back!

Finished the bumper on the truck and installed SOR seat covers.

That'll buff out...

Someone HAD to say it!

Wanted to do some bow hunting but just decided to take a drive over Woodchuck pass in the Big Horn mountains.
ARB lockers tamed the mud & snow.

Nice job on the bumper. It looks like you opted to build it so the blinkers could be maintained. Tire size and suspension stats please. Good looking rig man!

Got a jump on the weekend by changing out diff oils (~600 miles since regear) and changing out the T-case oil. Royal Purple all the way around and added 10mm allen drain plugs to both diffs.



First run with the new gears on Sunday. Going to Wheeler Lake with a solid ecumenical crew. Wheeler Lake

I installed an outside temp sensor at lunch today. I had been slowly working on the wiring extension for the temp probe the last couple days and finally got it installed today. I tried to take a picture of the display but it keeps getting a strange reflection off the dash. The display is really bright so I'm probably going to order some smoked Lamin-X film when I order the clear to cover my headlights.

Pretty cool when a guy daily driving a $200k+ Lamborghini stops and says, "Nice truck!" Ever once in awhile, as I watch people zipping around in their new slick rides, I get a little gloom set in over my lumbering elephant of a truck. Quite often get a thumbs up or a "Nice truck" that reminds me it is definitely worth the time and effort to keep the beast in good shape.
