That sounds amazing. I have a place in those parts (Highlands, NC). I'd definitely be down. In the mean time, I am trying to get a meet together here in town- I posted this thread:

What a small world, we have a cabin in Sapphire.

Our North Georgia trip leaves on Wednesday evening October 14th. Wheel & ride on the 15th, 16th, 17th, and morning of the 18th. We usually head back on that Sunday afternoon. We camp at Tallulah river campground just northwest of Clayton. It's a great time for sure.

As for a local meetup, I'm interested.

Well today was supposed to entail removing and replacing my front O2 sensor, but after I realized I didn't have the right tools, my friend and I decided to wash our trucks. The interior of my 80 was in dire need of a scrub down, so we went ahead and pulled out the front seats and center console and really scrubbed and vacuumed everything. I tried to scrub the headliner with some soap and water as well, and it really helped freshen it up. Some photos from today:

Took off the other console as well

Console back on, clean!

That last photo looks like one of those Playboy photos of the Playmate of the month in a soapy shower. Cruiser porn right there.

It is my favorite part of the truck... the taillights and the emblems are just so sexy.

Went to the Fort Desoto Park today and drove around. The suspension is making some odd creaks and pops when I go over certain bumps... I am wondering what it could be.

Painted my grill/headlight trim black. I hate the chrome trim. The taillights have a black trim from the factory and I think painting the front matches it well.

Also painted the brake booster that I had installed to prevent rust.

Prinsu rack arrives this week!

My prinsu is on the way too!

Wow, I've kayaked around that park a bajillion times. We occasionally stay in that massive white building at the base of the skyway bridge.
Beautiful truck!

 

[DDabs]

Thanks! Yeah it's a great place to kayak. My dog is in heaven when I take him there.

What seat covers do you have? I need some new ones desperately.

Tuff Duck from Sor.com. They are fantastic. I really need to pony up and get the second row cover.

Love the truck and love the Blue Merle Aussie. Is his left eye split bi-color? If so, that is cool, and kind of rare.

My dad and I raised, trained and worked Australian Shepherds when I was a kid.

Yes it's split in one eye. That's my buddy's dog, and it's funny because my Catahoula (the white and tan dog in photo) has marble eyes as well, blue and brown.

It begins...

Here's a picture of David watching anxiously as I stand in his engine bay...

 

[DDabs]

Haha! Good times. I trusted you.

Any leaks from what we replaced yet?

 

[DDabs]

Nope!
