Used it as the tank it is, in a counter terrorism operation in Brussels!

I saw that too... They blocked a few streets the last time by parking 100 series cruisers on corners

For a Belgian police force to still rely on an at least 9 year old truck, says a lot.
 
How do those ride on the 100 series? I have them on an 80 and really like them, but have not put them on the 100 yet.

Great. We are 600 miles into a road trip and I am a big fan.

I was a good wife today. For at least 1.5 hours.

I did some laundry. I mucked out horse stalls. I swept the house.

But, it was like, noon, and a nice day.

So I asked my daughter if she wanted to go off roading, and she said "Yes!" so we pre-rode some of the trail I'm taking @PaulLx470 and @LandyLover and some other guys on. I had to turn back when I realized I didn't have the key to remove my locked hitch, it got pretty steep, I was alone, and Katie started getting a little whiny. And I definitely would have scraped that hitch all the way back down the incline I was looking at.

The road ran alongside a creek, which I knew, so I brought all her swim clothes so she could play in the creek after we turned back.

Then, since our pick up truck broke down and I needed pine shavings for the horses, I hit the feed store on the way home and bought some shavings.

I just had the Hundy vacuumed out. Just. So I toss the bags of shavings up into the back, and one opens, and shavings go everywhere. Then, Katie turns around from her seat and says: you know, Mom, you should have put that sheet down. If you had put that sheet down, it wouldn't have mattered that the bag opened.
 
Its been a very busy past two weeks. Got my CB installed and tuned (I have an SWR meter I can bring to HIH if anyone needs one) and swung by Bump It Offroad and picked up my sliders.

I'm ready for HIH!

Where did you get the antenna mount for the right hand side?
 
That looks like a labrak passenger side mount.
Well son of a B...
I have the Driver side mount but for some reason did not see they had a passenger side mount. Or maybe at the time they only had driver side available. Thanks!!
 
I finally cracked 200,000 miles today. Time for a new T-belt and water pump I guess.
 
So far this week:

Had an excuse to get the SPC UCAs.

Found my spindle was worn enough to allow the inner bearing races to spin on it.

I used a large chisel to make three scores spaced apart equally where the bearings ride. Then I gently tapped them on with a hammer. This is a temporary fix until Duggy sells me his old spindles.

I also was able to get my Frankensliders welded on. A buddy from G.A.T.O.R. worked with me on then for a few days at his house.

I'm happy with the way they turned out for just having $190 in the whole setup.

I'll pick some POR 15 in the next few weeks. Since it is not UV resistant I will paint over it with some of this Safety Orange Spray Paint - Acrylic Paint Orange - Amazon.com


Next up is new OEM CVs and Monstalining the lower half of the truck brown.
