Sometimes those impromptu "**** it" trips end up being some of the most memorable. Beautiful views.

My buddy came over and welded a generic cat into the OddBall while I was out delivering a 40.
There has always been a pretty bad raw gas smell out of my exhaust. Mainly noticeable on the trail or when I am idling with the window down.
I’m sure it has something to do with my complete desmog.
Also the terrible exhaust shop I used when I first got it bent this piece where it vibrated on the frame when I cranked the truck
The wizard fixed that too. Wrap was there for the rattle ….

I do like the look without the fender skirts. It is a very handsome truck! The bacon whatever that was made me drool and my heart cringe!

I hate to own up to this but I was deleting photos today and did not realize I did not tell on myself for destroying the rear panels screwing around on the wrong rocks at Hit Springs.
I keep telling myself this thing needs new strips and fresh paint anyway……
Dumb.

Big street cred now.
Ouch! Sliding into trees? Looks like PS will need tail light housing, too....or at least a new lens.

Yes. Stupid. I gave up rock whomping but I got too cocky after it walked up everything on the moderate trails.
Gonna be expensive but that’s why I go to work every day
I'd try some paintless dent repair on that and try to keep the original paint.

It’s got real dents. Not just push in stuff.
That said, it’s not a big deal in being original. I’m keeping it and will use it. If I dent it I’ll fix it but it won’t go to any dopey parks again

Dunno how I missed this, but glad to hear it's not just me who likes a 3FE with H55 
(Admittedly, mine is very not stock but nevermind)

I usually like to rotate between the 60 and the 80 but since I already Ruint this one it’s loaded back up for a trip to the Southern Swine Soirre this weekend.
Quick stop of at HQ to drop a Cop +P core …….

Enjoyable read. The cruiser, the travels, the food (gratuitous) and the stories are top notch! I particularly like the use, rinse, fix, repeat aspect of the thead!
Cheers!

Gave the Oddball a fresh drink of Valvoline 20/50 with Zinc and a cherished getting to the last of the classic big boi filters.
The underside was a bit crusty from all the miles I’ve put on since I renovated it so I gave it a fluid film treatment.
Dented but not dead. I’m taking it to the local wrap place to get the graphics scanned and duplicated so once @Ozark cruiser fixes my **** ups it will still look Saudi cool
