Back on the road!

After being without my truck for a good six weeks, its now back on the road with me driving it . Still has some problems, but it is driveable again. I got the new tie rod end in it finally, amazing how much easier things go with the proper tools, lol. Still need to get an allignment but it seems to go down the road OK at the moment. I hadn't been driving it since the beginning of April or so, after having a tie rod end strip out, and leaving it at home since i was busy with school and had to time to work on it. Since i'm out for the summer, and start work tomorrow i finally could get it done.

It was pretty cool until i ended up spending $55 on gas in two days.....$1.93 for premium sure makes your wallet feel light
One thing i liked about being truckless is i didn't spend a dime on fuel for those six weeks. Was pretty nice, lol.

I'm now thinking about joining the primer black club, as it seems several members have gone that route, since my paint is very faded and its getting pretty rusty. I think with a gallon of bondo and a gallon of black primer it would look pretty good, lol.

Naaa...that stuff is over rated. As long as it goes straightish, you'll be OK.
