Last look at the old girl for a while. Duty calls again and thankfully good friends step in to help out. At least I know while I’m away she’s in good company and in good hands

How long is this hibernation period?

Scheduled 36-month tour. Funny you call it hibernation, it will probably see more daylight in the next 3 years than it has in the last 3

All she needs is a little finish paint work and a life-size cut-out of Gringo himself and she'll be coming to show near you! After all of the hard, exceptional work that Gringo has done, it would be a shame to not let her get some exposure now that she is ready to hit the road and stretch her legs.

Yep, she is seeing some daylight! The truck has been at my house for 8 months and 9 days. It went to it's last show for this year this weekend. It now has 3,074.7 additional miles on it. It's time for some general maintenance and a good nut & bolting session. I've noticed that it has developed a couple of squeaks and rattles which is to be expected on a fresh build. We'll get those taken care of so it is ready for the next year's shows and cruises. Once I get that taken care of, I can tear into the Blazer again for the upgrades that I have been putting off due to time constraints. I won't have to rush the projects on the Blazer since I will still have Gringo's truck to go to "truck" shows. Thanks for the loaner, Buddy!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
