Yeah it is!!! I told Erin that it is going to take her first 4 or 5 paychecks to replenish the bank account after this spending spree.The Steering stabilizer and exhaust will probably be the first things to get thrown at it since they are going to be the simplest to complete. (I hope)
Then the tear-down, cleaning and rebuild of the rear axle will commence. Don't be surprised if you see some green and purple mixed in with the black for those either. Erin is enjoying throwing the colors in around the rig.
Also my 2 cases of paint should be here on Monday, so once it runs again I will take it into the backyard to finish the spray-bomb job. And once the windows go up and down and BOTH doors open and close from the inside and outside, I am going to make some simple door panels to hide the guts.

Rock Auto wins the creative packaging award.
The FedeEx guy got a good laugh at this one too.

Totally hacking Matt's mud account
So for the record I have a heavy foot on the road yes, sometimes and he wouldn't know how I trail drive cause he never lets me! In comes the Sami. For the name it has changed but I am not sure to what yet. I thought it would be more fun to earn a name. However, tentatively it is Srgnt Zuk. Is that better Sam?
I'm ready to get wrenching on this "beast". I see some good times and beers ahead of us this weekend.
P.S. I didn't really hack his account his password is saved.

Time to get you a user name on here Erin! Maybe something like "Farragut sucks" or something along those lines
. Congrats on the new ride!!
Erin, if your learning curve goes like I think it will, you will soon be telling HIM how to drive! Like I said before, learning without lockers will make you a very disciplined wheeler and much more aware of your surroundings - and not just the surroundings that cause body damage like wagon guys are honed in on. lol

Lol, guess having those auto-fill options on have finally come around and bit me in the behind.
You don't have them on any "other" sites, do you? ;p
So he drug me to his office tonight with nothing to do. So what DO I DO, naturally I invade his man territory (no pun intended although I'm sure you all will take it somewhere it wasn't supposed to go) and got a screen name. Haha! Let the heckling begin!
