Pre Rally get ready thread

Corey marry me? I wish I had even 1/10th of the attention span you have.

Heath, your camper has a L&D room I assume! I will bring gloves. I figure you can scrub up using some of the Captain 100 I have been hoarding for nine months hee hee

I ordered a hat for the baby, but Mel didn't think of infant sizes apparently

So you are in again?

I just about got all the mechanicals out of the way, new brake hoses, heater core, radiator cap, done. I removed and cleaned once again the radiator resovour, still have oil remains in there Man, I am liking the brick layout for the heater core, out in like 5 minutes. I still have to do some driving to see that the sticky brakes and heat that it generates have disappeared.

Onto the electrical upgrades next; cb, 12v power sockets and a little project for night time celebrations of the 4th.

I also got to do the striping of the lf fender and re apply the moulding on the bed. I am not liking the install of vinyl, looks ok at about 30 feet. I also found my truck to be so dirty that I am starting the cleaning process with Purple Power and a rag, that stuff works darn good.

Darrin, that grill is looking awesome!! I know I am not the only one working late in the game........

That's awesome Darrin, but is it going to affect your temps while towing your trailer to the rally?

i am capable of lightspeed once again.

I've had a problem in the past with the transwarp coupling having a vibration above 85 mph. new u joints, center-support bearing and a spin balance job good for 125mph has now restored warp capabilities. add an e-brake cable and a new "muffler" I'm good for my TX safety inspection.got it's oil change and fuel fiter change and she's ready for cargo and weapons loading tomorrow.

Thanks Guys, I have been running the Lund fronts for years but they were painted Red, I just repainted them. Have never had any overheating problems with the Cummins and an IDI rad!

I still have a laundry list of things to do so I figured I'd make a thead to cover them. First thing, got some new tires and polished up some rims I had laying around. I had mis matched 235/85's and ditched them for 285/75-16" Cooper Discoverers. I had 2 Coopers with about 1000 miles on them and had to buy 2 at my local tire shop. The weren't exact matches but good enough. Got a Mothers power ball and some polish for the rims. Now I want to do the tool box, headache rack and diamond plate bed rails. I also replaced my w/s wiper motor and stripped out the left side wiper arm and broke the washer nozzle. Looks like a junk yard run this week.

I want to hear how those AT3's do for you!!!

BTW goose, can you get a pic of that in the dark with the reflective yellow?
