Pulled three vehicles out today. We don’t get a lot of snow around here, and when we do, you can guess who’s grinning from ear-to-ear. View attachment 2584357
Haha! Thanks for the throwback photo, that trip is still referenced to this day among my siblings and close friends. Got to get back out there and do another road trip of some kind.

It's been raining for days now. Cleaned the cat boxes. Changed oil in the 40 and sat in it and listened to the radio. This is an 86120-89113 AM/FM/MPX radio from an 80-82 mini truck fitted with a faceplate from an 86120-60020 AM radio. It is only about 3/4" deeper so it fits well.
Couple things happened this weekend. Painter sent me a sneak peek and I cleaned up my winch and threw it on the front. Need to decide on a steel cable or synthetic rope. Any recommendations?
With a paint job that nice you don't want that crusty old bezel on there. Tell you what - I'll send you a nice shiny chrome one and take that old thing off your hands for you, no charge!

Too cheap to buy a replacement upper dash pad. Read on the forum on how to DIY a repair. My dash pad was almost cracked through the middle. I used JB weld plastic bond and finished it with rust oleum bed liner. Aside from several hours of labor I had less than $15 in materials.
Replaced the lower thermostat housing that @ToyotaMatt supplied along with the coolant temp sensor pigtail. While on a shopping spree, I also replaced the WP and all the hoses. Unfortunately I decided to shop local for the hoses and its bitting me in the ass. The lower radiator hose was ordered 2 weeks ago and its still not here.
Since the coolant was drained and it's 2 degrees outside, rebuilt the heater box. I think I got a bit of Anthrax from breathing all that crap that was inside.
