Nah I took 97 so I could stop at Crater Lake. I will have to go up there next time for sure. Now I just need to find any bs excuse to make the trip haha

crater lake has got to be the best looking lake in the state. deep cobalt blue, been there a couple times, need to go again soon.

look ma, no more jack stands!!! party1:
the beast is finally able so carry its weight without stands!!!
i got the mini boatsides / rocker replacements finished up today. all that is left is to seal some of the gaps in the floor, prime, & paint them. they are 2x6 3/16 wall tube with five 1x2 1/8 wall kickers per side. welding to the floor pans sucks donkey balls!
i also measured up my drive shafts so i can get them remade. (1 needs to be shorter, 1 needs to be longer, & the spare needs to be rebuilt) next i think i'll tackle the front brakes. i may just fab up some mounts & use chevy 3/4 ton calipers since the 1 ton ford calipers always fall off their retarded mounting system.

best boatsides on i swear

so we started the permit process yesterday to add a small extension to my shop in Oregon.
the existing shop is 36' x 48' with 14' walls & is too small, so we are adding another 36' x 48' extension but using 18' walls so i can add a second floor in the future when it gets too full. since the house is on a river we had to apply for a variance which takes at least 90 days to approve. looks like we can't start building until late december or early january.
i need to sell the red heep & my d44's that i had planned to shove under the green heep. need seed money for the shop build. once it is done we will be moving to Oregon for good.

Front D44 is stock? Specs? Price?
