Re: What did you get done 4/4 Easter/Passover edition

I went from this:



To this:








This was a temporary fix. Tape, sand, and paint. The old trim was driving me nuts so we gave it a quick fix. Looks new in person. lol I'll get all new trim when the truck hits paint. New wind shield this week.

Re: What did you get done 4/4 Easter/Passover edition

not very much.... picked up a new bike went for a rip today... definitely need to send out the suspension to be tweaked a bit, after that it's time to hit the shore HARD... and wait for sun peaks to open.

Re: What did you get done 4/4 Easter/Passover edition

staggerd86c, hot trux, West Texas Z- Looks like a lot of Spring cleaning going on. Nice work folks.

I worked on my yard some Saturday, then met my daughter for a late lunch. Saturday evening I made some progress on my bathroom remodel. Sunday I washed the drivers and went to my Bro-in-Laws house for Easter festivities. Lots of good company and great food.

Sunday evening I did touch up on the bathroom, and hung the new light fixture. It much easier to work with real lights rather than flashlight's.

Re: What did you get done 4/4 Easter/Passover edition

Nothing truck related as usual. Took my boy to bmx Friday night, I did not race, still no bike for me yet. He is still jittery on the jumps and sitting down, a few more practices/races and he will be all over that 8 year old. Now if he would just pay attention when I show him how to "table top" like Timmy Judge....that's another story.
Go Chance!!!!

Re: What did you get done 4/4 Easter/Passover edition

Hmm well lets see, got my passenger door shaved up and the truck running again. Then found out the trans wont go into second. I figure I have to run out of things to fix or replace sooner or later.

Re: What did you get done 4/4 Easter/Passover edition

pulled my old engine/tranny out of my truck. Prepping the 6.0 for install, took my daughter to the carnival.
