Makes it easier to move projects and drivers in and out without rearranging everything, and gives you plenty of room to stab a trailer in there.

The fence turned out good for my first time putting one up.

This past weekend we did a ton of work in the back yard. Ripped out 100' of a old ceder hedge, it was 6-8' wide and 8-12'high. The pile was 8' tall and 20' across. Thanks to my Jeep for all it's hard work lol.
Then we put up a 60' chain link fence across the back. The hardware store messed up and gave us 5' but we decided to use it anyways, most will be blocked by the shed and shop. We still have some cleanup to do but the prep is coming along nice.

lower50's · 08-15-2017, 12:27 AM

Had a great time camping with my boys last weekend. Truck ran great pulling the trailer for our 160mi round trip, and only 1/2 tank of fuel. On Sunday morning there is a fundraiser car show, about 200. They also serve breakfast for 650ppl. Lot's of very nice rides. It is more of a spit and polish type of show, so I was blown away when I won 2nd overall. The purple '56 took first.

Also picked up this hood ornamint this past weekend not sure if it is going on my truck tho.
Tonight I went and picked up a spare 7.3L, if I need the motor or just some parts it was a good deal. The little man came to help, guess it was hard work.
