sounds like a great build!

I thought it was only the HO years that got that?

I always wanted to own a tow dolly with electric brakes.

I don't believe the side lights should be blinking in any way.

check inside the bulb sockets. corrosion can creep in, or sometimes the little tab at the bottom can collapse and no longer make contact.

uhaul is a good idea, anything they have should easily do it. although that $1 per mile is painful

normally they have a vacuum or an inert gas inside. I'm not sure how the bulb will react with regular air/moisture content.

I miss the squishy cloth seats of 90s vehicles.

if you buy poly bushings, be sure to add a bit of grease to the surface to prevent squeaks

just a heads up, those sway bar bushing bolts in the first photo are incredibly prone to snapping, even on otherwise clean trucks. be careful.

I replaced all the orings on Breanne's 88 only to have one injector split and spray gas all over the place a few months later. could have easily burned the truck down. I swapped them all out for factory ford Expedition injectors from a junkyard and it runs great.

yay!

merged I kinda love that J-10 hood

I think so. but it's not from the big Moab trip because I didn't own the boggers yet.

it wasn't all that bad. most of the deep stuff was avoidable. definitely needed a bath after though

I really enjoyed my day in the muddy trails of Rockport Offroad park in Illinois. don't go during tick season though.

it is still trapped in the barn under a literal ton of stuff.

my SUV can absolutely handle 4x8s I don't even need straps, I just screw them down. I do miss my minivan

it's even worse than you think because a flat tow adds 0 weight to the bumper to help plant the rear tires. and if the bar is at the wrong angle, under heavy braking it can push down on the rear and pick up the front of the tow rig.

oh man, if I found those mangled wires and fixing them didn't fix the issue, I'd be bummed.

he's still ironing out the flux capacitor integrated into the nuclear reactor

someone grab that axle! and leafs too!

man do I miss the guys that have passed on. guys that like to cause trouble quickly tire of CC since I don't allow the drama and that's what they seek.
