What size tires are you running in these last few pics?

 

[Coolerman]

Looking good! But couldn't you at least paint the white rims gray? Paint is pretty cheap. We could take up a collection for you...

They are 33"×12"

Am I the only one on earth that still likes the white rims?

 

[FJ40Jim]

White rims are totally cool, man. Every CJ7 Golden Eagle on CHiPs has those wheels.
It is still 1979, isn't it?

 

[apeterson]

Jim.. everything awesome comes back in style..

You remember me when your are buying white rims, a Jean jacket and growing a mustache. You will say "damn Peterson was ahead of the game"

First thing I noticed. It's a great logo.

We dropped "real American holsters " cause it was too much

Also believe it or not I finally got the doors painted. I could not get my gun to work. I think it is broken. So I brought them to a body shop to get them done. I also put in a set of quick release hinges that 69LC makes (Take-apart door hinges). They are awesome and totally worth the money. Takes 2 minutes to change between half doors and full doors and that is including drinking time!! All in all I am real happy with how they turned out.

I also did find a set of seats I like. I am going to be getting them recovered and putting heaters in them. So stay tuned for that. Probably will be a winter project. Heading down to see Steve tomorrow then off hunting for a few month!

Man love the color of this thing.

 

[apeterson]

Thanks! Even after all this time I don't think I would change the color to something else.

well I love that sea foam color also.. but no regrets

Man love the color of this thing.

A day....almost. I have spent the day reading all 84 pages. From the sandhills of NC, a pat on the back, a handshake and a well done to you young man.

 

[White Stripe]

Wow sweet rig. I'm going aqualu myself. Yours looks really good and gives me confidence of how mine could look.

 

[Coolerman]

I see you are driving in the salt!

Question for you.

Can you post a good pic of your current power steering pump bracket that millhouse made for you? My Toyota mini-truck power steering pump bit the dust. I decided to get the WDorry bracket to run a Sag pump, only to find out it does not allow me to retain the F engine air cleaner. I saw how you modified your air cleaner mounting bracket to use this bracket, but have decided I really don't want to cut up my original. Much rather make a custom pump bracket. Just need an idea of what he did...

Your niece is growing up fast!

 

[apeterson]

Just one run to cabin... trust me it got washed 3 times after that

Ill get you some pics tonight

 

[kunzma]

Started reading your thread. Awesome work! Good to meet you Aaron.

[apeterson]

Sorry buddy.. its difficult to get any good pics of the bracket as everything is in the way.

You sure they're not 33x12.50R15? And yes, the white wheels have to go!! Beautiful truck.
