    Well, obviously I never take pictures of my idi project. But trust me I have done stuff to it. I figured I’d let y’all know that for some reason we decided to buy a 6.0. Definitely a step up in power from my previous vehicles.

    That’s awesome. I talked to a guy when I picked it up with a cool story. Supposedly his grandfather sold their old tractor to the farm that was having the auction, back in the 80’s. The grandson got the opportunity to buy the tractor back. Kinda cool

    Nothing to do with the truck, but I won this 1941 farmall H on a whim from an online auction. A guy pretty close by sold his hay operation and they had an auction for all the equipment. Low and behold, this old girl was sitting behind an almost brand new 4x4 Case. I learned to drive on one of...

    South of Carson……. Near Gardnerville at all? That’s Dane Rickford’s turf. I go up and visit him from time to time.

    Hopefully you’re not spending much time outside of Elko….. heard there’s a nice ranch out there LOL I’ll clarify that I’ve never personally partaken in that type of visitation but it sure is funny to imagine the type of person who drives all that way for something like that LOL

    We have carpet. I was so unhappy with how my aftermarket carpet fit I went and bought a nicer blue carpet from a truck somebody was parting out. Had it cleaned super well. Has some fading over the transmission hump but I’m not worried about it.

    Yeah I’m a moron and discovered them after I used one on my ranger. It’s so nice not having a ton of wiring. I’ll have a separate relay/fuse box for a key on power relay, fuel pump, and I really want to wire in a relay for max voltage to the blower motor for the high speed setting.

    That’s smart I never would’ve thought about using aluminum tape!

    Also made these plates for the wiring and what not. I’ll update when I have some stuff actually wired.

    No pics of the process but it took an afternoon. Took the seat tracks all apart and cleaned out all the old grease. On the drivers side I sprayed lithium grease in the tracks and on the passenger side I just smeared whatever was in my grease gun on the tracks. Holy crap I wish I used the grease...

    You are 100% correct. The aluminum framed ones are even better.

    If you are wondering about the campers in the background. We (my family) bought a few acres outside of town, have to re do the house (my parents). I am going to build something at some point, not sure what. Permits suck in California . More than likely will just plead the 5th on my housing...

    What have I done since the last post? Mostly cleaned out my barn and tried to get rid of the rest of the parts truck. Tonight I threw the bumper from the parts truck on here. Gonna try my best to do the brake lines. I made a full list of what I need to finish today at work and thought, holy...
