Wife and I decided to go to breakfast with friends. Breakfast turned into a wheelin trip to the American Flats in Virginia City, Nv area.

Was seriously fun and we a had a great time piled into the LC.

Finished my tire carrier then went wheeling. I then proceeded to destroy my front bumper doing so :hillbilly:

:D If I have to wait a week to pick them up, you get to wait a week for pics. ;)

The '86 has a two inch shackle lift with 33" tires and 213k miles. Looks nice at a glance, but has a fair amount of rust underneath, including a missing rear shock mounting tube. It lost the oil plug in the head, so I've got to get that fixed right away (plugged with JB Weld right now), but after that I'll use it as a semi-daily driver at least until I get one of my other 4x4s back up and running.

The '87 has 124k miles, but has been hit on the right side. It needs a fender, both doors, and the B pillar pulled out. I had hoped to restore it, but whoever owned it after it was wrecked used it as more of a beater, so it's not quite as nice as I had hoped. For now, the plan is to get the body fixed on it and go from there. Depending on how much the bodywork costs and how good the repairs look, I may restore it or I may just sell it as-is. The nice thing is it's pretty complete, engine has plenty of pep for a 2F, and there is none of the typical suspension or steering slop these things get with a little bit more use. I just hated to see it parted out when the body is rust free and repairable.

I bought both to resell and make a little money on the side, but I'm not in any hurry to get rid of them. Heck, I'm just happy to have a drivable 60 again while my expo build has been on hiatus.

Drove in the snow. Not the best photo, but you get the idea.

Took it out for a cruise. Delivered a bicycle wheel to a customer. Got a couple steaks and some salmon as a tip, threw it in the fridge for the ride home. Got a smile on my face again.
