The truck is at Safelite, and I'm making a list of design requirements for a possible bed replacement.
Lol ... "Hurt durr".... Yeah I didn't know if you had changed your mind about bobbing it...

What people don't realize is. The longer wheelbase is better for climbs... If it wasn't, they wouldn't sell stretch kits for wranglers.

The long wheelbase is good, but the 3ft of bed behind my rear axle just kills my departure angle.

Hopefully it'll shut y'all up

Unlike my last two top secret projects that were scrapped when I reached an unreasonable amount of fab, this one has good potential.

Yeah, that's a bit of a killer

Yesterday I pulled out all the trim behind the bench. It was rattling, and it trapped dirt, bugs, held spider webs, and made wiring difficult. Now it's simple, and I have more space (and crappy new speakers that weren't worth the trouble)

Also cleaned out my C101 connector today. Scraped out all that black tar ****, wire brushed it, and filled it with dielectric grease. Didn't do a damn thing to help my misfire, but I got to check it off my list.

Yeah, I'm trying to get the fat ***** to stop backfiring. I need to replace my harmonic balancer and my timing ****, but I can't afford downtime in this weather. I'm not driving the Camaro up into the mountains with ice on the roads.

I know several people, but I won't be able to get to work that night if there are any complications.
