nice truck! - subscribed Love the wrenches! When I built a rack/tow hitch for my 4wheeler I welded on old wrenches for angle supports and bungee/strap attachment points. Loved the look so much I now use wrenches any time I can find an excuse!

Just got home from OBX, a 6hr trip that took 9. I hate stop and go traffic when there is no obvious reason. People need to learn to drive...

or it didn't happen.
Otherwise I assume you parked on your tree lawn and camped out in your truck just so you can say you spent the weekend off-roading.

What is the color code/name of your red. I am thinking of repainting by 88 from black.

As i mentioned earlier, this makes five or so days that i have not done a single thing to the rig...
However, i just ordered my rotors and Supra calipers for the rear disc conversion...oh, and proportioning valve. Maybe this weekend i can score a dual diaphram brake booster to go with my already installed 1" MC from a '93 T-100.

If I new you were heading down to the OBX I would of met you on the beach. I live about 15 min over the va/nc in nc right off 168. The traffic does blow hard. I deal with that crap every day during tourist season. Truck looks good by the way.

The first picture here is my favorite. The one you're using as an avatar reminds me of Fall.

those photos are great. Looks like a slight tweak in contrast maybe a color correction as well and some sharpening and a vignette effect around the photo edge?
Reminds me of an 80's photo effect. Or almost the effect you get when you scan an old photo onto the comp.
