Welp, as I ... anticipated? Pua'a is stalled.

Bodyshop guy called this morning, has been dealing with a bad infection behind his knee. Bad enough they lifted the kneecap to drain it, and now he's immobile.
So the darn thing is stalled, and has been for a while.

Who said, "bodyshops are where projects go to die?" Whomever it was, ... prophetic.

 

[Pigeaten]

Yep, lost one there

My painter was having those mini strokes while trying to finish mine. Humans, they're hard to deal with.

Plenty of rigs with more miles on this forum than on roads or trails.

It’s going to be so scary mobbing up a questionable trail now for sure!!! I might be more on this forum then mobbing!

My daddy brought me up right tho, “Only one way to see if it works!”

That sounds nasty!

He’s back to work on it. Got these when I landed in Baltimore.

Got the rocker in finally. Had to cut all the patch panels I put in but it’s where it specs out at. Building a couple supports that we’re rusted out, weld them in them will finish cutting the floor out.

This is an expensive hobby y’all have.

In Baltimore to (probably) pick up the lx450 (now with a 1hd-fte / h151. Made 323 whp / 550 ft-lbs on the dyno. Hope to drive it back to Texas.

Hope to drive it back to Texas.

If you end up driving back and are on i40 in TN, let me know. Be delighted to host you for a meal or break from driving. I’m about halfway between Nashville and Memphis on I40 in Jackson, TN.

I’m likely going that way. Have an employee in Cookeville who’s offered to put me up.
