In East TN, I’ll drive it pretty much from March thru December, but I love getting the truck out in the Fall. I do keep her in the garage on rainy days though, more out of precaution than anything, as I live in an area with a lot of “Tourist” traffic, and many are overwhelmed by the scenery and not paying attention to
The winding roads.

Re: To Do lists, Frustrations, and Findings. What are yours?

We have our own unique way of doing things to our trucks and thats what makes this website and the hobby great. I bought my present truck in 2014 and after I drove it as it was for abouit a year I sat down one day and made a list ( picture) of what I wanted to do as far as upgrades and enhancements go. This list sits on my desk where my computer is and I love nothing more than highlighting something on the list as that means its completed. For the items not highlighted I pretty well have the parts I need to complete the list its getting it done in timely manner and for some of them as the funds get saved. My truck has 90,000 miles on it and drips some oil and at 90,000 miles although it runs fine and is reliable well its getting old. So this past summer a good friend found a virgin uncut small block 400 so I bought it and that will be rebuilt with upgrades and installed in my truck. You know as I was typing this my brain is working as I have stuff that isn't on the list so with the long Winter just starting here I will be making a new list. Bottom line here is that your truck is never done.

You can get the plaid material from SMS in Oregon ( attached link ) and I think they can even get you a complete cover with the scroll vinyl and plaid material so all you'd have to do is remove your original cover and instal the new one. The plaid material on my pictured buckets is from SMS.
