Anyone have good source for some window felt to put in tracks inside tailgate when window down?

Need the protective piece at top of the tailgate on outside. Most of current one is cracked and gone.

Not sure if this will post. Easily highlight of my day yesterday. Daughter baptized at Retreat in Hawaii.

This is your best option, the SOLO kit is too thick and your window will bind.

Perfect utility rig, ice for watermelon and water for drinking!

And a happy wife!

She loves it! She was making snide remarks towards all the jeeps in town.

Am I crazy to not want to do anything to the pig for awhile?

If I tried to get the body work done i wouldn’t get to drive it. It’s so much fun to drive I don’t want to stop.

I have carpet kit for it I don’t think has ever been installed. New black door cards also never used.

Leaning towards stripping the floors repainting that then start slapping some sounds deafening stuff in her. Install middle seat and have front seats redone. Should be good to do for awhile in fair weather. Hate to use the new headliner which is still in SOR package which creates small dilemma.

Get a radio, figure some nice speakers. Two trips to town and I’m thinking of taking to Tulsa for work in near future which would be 150 mile round trip, mostly highway. Gonna need one of those long range tanks!

In your position, I wouldn’t do much other than drive it and do preventive maintenance when it’s due, maybe an hour tinkering here or there, and that’s it. When you get the green machine back, then that would be the time to start thinking about bigger moves on this one. That’s my $.02

I echo Dustin, keep her a driver and only do things that can be accomplished within a week or so.

To top off my fine evening I dug into some things the wife loaded in back seat of the truck.

I hope it goes to a 55??

Those are all 80 series parts, Jon.

So happy you and Kim got this from the Delancy estate.

I'm stoked to see it in a few weeks on my way through.

I'm thinking maybe a drive in it to the cemetery to pay my respects is actually not a bad idea.....

See you soon, Jon.

Well that would answer why I couldn’t cross reference the numbers on city racers site.

It's a day for playing with the pig. Sitting here drinking our morning coffee, wife asks if we can take the new car to farmers market in town who am I to turn that down?? Wife got the new tag for now until we get a personalized tag. WE would like to attach Chris's legacy with what we do so I am open to some suggestions.

CDsPIG, CD's55 are couple idea's, feel free to share any ideas.

Anyone familiar with rear bumper kit I could have made or a good rear bumper to put on it?

Need to figure out glove compartment. Good day to continue to search with parts

 

[scrapdaddy]

It seems to me just taking charge of Chris's wagon and telling the story would make Chris pleased enough. If you have another idea for your wagon's tag go ahead and use it, he wouldn't mind, if that makes any sense.

It does Ron, I’ve battled that in my brain with mixed feelings for sure.

Gonna swap tires and wheels off our 40 project this afternoon. Gray steel wheels with 33x10.5 15,s BFG AT’s which will be little nicer driving on the highway than the current mud terrains.

Did Delancy ever come up with a name for it?

Not that I ever know of, he only referred to it as the pig.
