Do they need practice on paint job?

Oh yeah but work is lined up out the door. It's quite a bit cheaper (and slower) than a standard body shop, a lot of the cost depends on what type of paint you want to use. I can put you in touch with the instructor if you'd like.
The right deal came along and couldn't pass up. Yes sir it does.

If there is a harder way - I will find it...
Phil, save me a driver side pin, the bolt I am using "aint cuttin it".
Done
Its that time of year again.
Rosa made much of HWY 5 north of Puertocitos mostly dirt again, which I like. Amazing flood damage.
Swapped all sway bar bushings and links. The brass bushing on my front driver side spindle got loose and was causing a rattle sound over bumps. Went ahead and replaced the whole spindle from my donor LX. Also switched out the birf while I was in there. It started to click when I was climbing up Broken Arrow a few weeks ago. @medtro, you were not kidding when you said that birf was new!!! Thank you!

Tossed a coin and took the 3rd Gen to deer camp this year. Huge plus was getting back home without me and my gear being covered in dust.
My eldest daughter had an photography assignment shooting time lapse starscapes. She also scored as it was a meteor shower too. @splitshot gave us a great location to camp at north of Oracle. She would set up the camera to take 120, 30 second exposures. We did two while making dinner then got up at 4:30am for another session. She just sent me two shots from the morning session that caught fireballs. It was windy so the foreground isn't in sharp focus sadly. I can't wait to see more.
Mine to use but not mine
Started off at the Cleator Bar with Ms LCP had a great time and was upgrade to get the local discount (thanks Mike). Can that truck go off road? Hell yes, here is a map to Antelope falls a few miles away.

Definitely will be visiting during the summer monsoons. Zero trash off the beaten path very clean so not much traffic.

you're getting soft
Are you keeping the ribs mounted on the roof? If not, I'd be interested in purchasing them. Private message me if interested in selling.
I swapped out my OME 851 and shocks with @Spamcheese. I got his 850J and shocks. The ride quality is so much better but the steering wanders a lot more but I do have an RMA in with Slee to return my caster correction bushings for the caster plates.
Also, I need to get some 2" square steel and make drop brackets for my front swap bar. In the meantime, I am rolling without the front sway bar. For the swaybar drop bracket, I am going to get a steel plate and make it 2.5" longer and drill the proper holes for it.
