Ron, did you find a dealer for that crack rock?

No, I have enough problems finding a Bud dealer.

Just to add a little to this, my new windshields have "made in china" on them, where as the one in the wagon doesn't. When we get a new one in, I'll see if there is any difference between the old and new. I guess as long as we can still get them...

Still too much work to stop and document much, but here is a recap on the last couple weekends: pulled the remainder of the wire harness out of the Silverado-THAT was a chore! Tore apart the steering column to get all that wiring too (more on...

Here's one of the top, and one of the bottom,

Man, that is a lot of funny in one post!

Great work as always! 👍

Template made for the tunnel. This back section will be welded into place. Front peice will be bolted/removable to keep that OEM feeling. Additional bracing added as I've cut the body rib out, and the floor is extremely flimsy.

That's wild, my wagon came from the Phoenix area and originally had a 350 Chevy with perfect louvers in the hood. I kept the hood because the louvers looked so good and did a great job of cooling down the engine bay. Not a far stretch to believe...

Glass Seekers was the company my glass guy told me to call. Also, I looked at the two windshields that got shipped to me, made in China, not Ohio where the factory is. Very odd, but I bet all of the glass installers that also sell windshields buy...

I have to replace mine on my 71. My insurance pays for mine. No deductible. Safelite Auto Glass (after market). Comes to my home. Will see how that works out. Calling them this week. I have a Toyota brand one in the rafters I bought some...

15” and 16” are not as common as they once were now you have to have cool 18” and no sidewall. I’m still running 35x12.5x15 on my soa pig. It’s hard for manufacturers to produce tires for a small amount of people in the overall picture. swamper...

Been kicking around the idea of converting my parts pig to a nice trailer I could tow behind Marge for camping trips. Picked up this bad boy yesterday to get a jump start on the project. @LCMoneyPit was kind enough to throw it on his trailer and...

I’ve been through Banff/Jasper twice as an adult, once in an ‘85 4Runner and last time in a FJ62. It’s definitely one of the most spectacular places on earth in my opinion. There are several fun hikes around Banff/Lake Louise and also a hot...

Highly recommend kootnay, banff and up to jasper although the fire that went thru jasper left a ton of destruction there is still so much in there and so much new life coming in.

I want to drive that part someday.

Few days driving ahead of us. We have owned this pig for 22 months, of that probably been on the road about 18 months. We rolled 30k miles today since we bought it. Also have to say the Rockies portion of Canada so far has been probably been the...

Yep, that's where I just bought two. They shipped 2 for 1 shipping cost.

No, but maybe they heard about my speeding ticket and my brush with the po po.

Maybe I'm wrong, but better do your own research. I broke another windshield going to the Pig Party and called my glass guy for a new one. They called back and said (couldn't find one from the supplier). I started doing some digging and called...

Soft hands crew checking in!

Even through it says butter on the label it made my toast taste terrible but my hands do smell pretty. Thank you Scraps!

Yep, happened to me. Brand new transfer case that must need some stick adjustment, kept popping out of low. On one very steep hill where my brakes weren't even holding, I had Jeri try to hold it in low, but she couldn't. J Mack seeing a problem...

A few more things to workout on this LS swap. Getting there.
