Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well my grandpa and I snuck out in of the other cars as we had a super nice weather Saturday and my truck was in the trailer for this coming weekend. Well looks like I got caught as we were about to leave the event, lol. Was good to get the ol 55 out and stretch its legs for the first time this year.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The old oak is putting up a fight. They have been on it for 2 days. She is just a massive trunk now. They will be bringing the heavy equipment on Wednesday to take her down.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Busted the outer seal on my bobcat lift cylinder. I already had new seal kits here from a previous parts order. it has had a slight weep for a while. Never rebuilt one before but local guy said he was a couple weeks out so I became a youtube pro over the course of the afternoon. Found a really good video and made short work of it. The good thing was not having to remove the entire cylinder from the machine. Last time I had one rebuilt I had to take it in to them. It takes longer to get the rear pins out than it did to rebuild it this afternoon while on the machine. Saved me $200 in labor as well.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not as complex as what Mr. Mud is doing (good job by the way), but I was test fitting body parts today on the Boonie Basher. So far not too bad using just some old junk parts. I also cut down the bent up rear (bumper?) thingy. I tried to get that off but it wouldn't budge. I'll have to tie it to the oak tree and pop the clutch and see if that gets it yanked. It laughed at the sledge hammer so I busted out the ole Sawzall and gave it a haircut.
I think that the new fenders will look much better. I like the lines better and I ditched the one piece front end and am going back to a hood and fenders. The olive drab paint is a test too. Is it too light? It will be olive drab with black fenders when I get paint on it. ![]() Comparison of the old fender and the replacement. ![]()
