So what did you do with your truck today?

[IDIBRONCO]

Since it's a holiday weekend and my truck is running great, I decided to treat myself and went to visit a ****** today. Here's the Paul Harvey version: I drove down to ******, Oklahoma and bought a 1980 John Deere Trailfire 440 snowmobile today. I have WAY too many projects!

You know the phrase "too many projects" is banned here, right? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Let’s see if I can justify lifting the ban on that phrase

-ford 8n, getting a motor rebuild

-78 Camaro, Pretty much want to do ground up resto-mod

-79 f250, see 79 f250 pulling truck thread

-83 f350, 6.9 begging for boost and back tires begging for help from a dana 60

-88 f250, 7.3 needs rebuilt or replaced, might try to compete with Wes’s shop truck lol. Going to learn how to do paint and body work on this truck

-96 f150, needs heads, cam, lockers front and rear with a regear

-97 wrangler, halfway through building a 4.7 stroker, then I’ll need axles to handle the motor

Yeah, I’m broke and busy lol

Most of my projects are smaller than all of yours. I have my two trucks (even the ones that you drive are projects unless they're museum pieces), My 1993 ZX11, 1981 Goldwing, 4 dirt bikes (one that's rideable), 2 four wheelers (both rideable), 15 three wheelers (some rideable, some getting there, some just for parts), and a 1980 John Deere snowmobile. That's about it unless you count my 1990 Snapper mower that's going to need an engine sooner or later judging by the "chain smoker effect" that happens when I mow with it.

One thing springs to mind Damn! On a side note n u two must have a nice big place for all that n seems would be awesome for family time with kids n buddies, that's kind of a dream big wide space nice rough shop n projects

My two car garage and storage shed are pretty full. I'll just leave it at that and right now, the snowmobile is still in the bed of the F250 under a cheap tarp that I picked up at Wal-Mart on the way home with it yesterday.

I'll have to reference this thread next time the wife complains

I'm also the guy who brings 4 or 5 things for myself to ride on a weekend trip with friends. Of course we usually take turns riding each others' too. I found out a long time ago that when you're very far away from home on a riding trip, ALWAYS take a spare since things can break down at any time when they're 30+ years old. Just can happen on our trucks.

Better by comparison. I like your strategy.

I'll take whatever ammo I can

I have a 2 car garage right next to the house that’s like 25x25. My extended cab noses up to my tool box and the bay door barely clears. The 8n is on jack stands on one side and I try to keep the other side open for quick projects. My barn is like 20x30 maybe 40 yards from the house. It’s got a gravel floor and no power. My Camaro sits down there and the tractor will probably join it once it’s done. My drive is pretty crowded, most of my 2 acres is hills and woods.

My trucks don't get the luxury of being inside.

Mine don’t unless I’m working on them. Sometimes I’ll pull my 83 (daily driver) in the garage if I know there’s an ice storm coming

Ugh fine if you're going to make me....

My 69 Caprice is in my back barn approx 25x30 along with my three wheeler project and lots of misc junk/parts and my lawnmowers. My attached garage has my tools, WMO and a lot of stuff my Father in law gave me that I have to sort through. My escape is in the open bay right now.

My 8n sits in front of the attached garage. My 97 Chevy and the Wrecker I got for the D60 are along the side of the attached garage. My motorcycle is in a shed not on my property.... Probably should go get that soon lol.

69 Caprice
08 Escape
89 F350 (wrecker)
97 Chevy truck
85 Honda 3 wheeler (ATC125?)
74 Honda CB360T (motorcycle)
91 F350 (daily)
49 Ford 8N

I think that's all the "big" projects... Lol
