Very nice Charlie. About going mudding. With all that snow it may be later then sooner.

 

[Charlie]

I can go slushing

 

[storlied]

Did you remove the rear sway bar?

 

[Charlie]

I was going to a while ago, but the bolts were rusted on good, and I didn't mess with it at the time. So, for now it is still on. Once it gets nice out again, I will remove it.

Slushing is fun especially when you're tires stick out and it shoots the slush up over the truck

 

[Charlie]

Oh, but my tires sure don't stick out. I would like to make them, though, sometime (cough spacers cough)

Today I was stuck doing a little "powdering"

I like the black on white theme if its your theme, If not I still really like it a lot its what I went for on my Explorer...

Were kinda alike...I think...Haha...

 

[Charlie]

Yeah, I was actually going for the black and white theme. I think I might go back to my black rims this summer, either that or get new ones. The color they were, was more of a gunmetal, and it didn't look as good as gloss black. We will see what I do this spring, I guess.
I might go for these:

 

[JMan689]

That would look awesome, i want to do black and white on my daily but black rims would get eating alive with all the salt here.

You all are having a lot of fun! In snow, in rivers... enjoy! The vehicle looks great! How do you see the road with all that snow?

 

[Charlie]

It's usually plowed better. If it snows hard, you just need to follow other tracks, look for the curb, and pray

Oh, and I stay away from rivers...those are bad. You know, moving current and all.

 

[storlied]

You really shouldn't have too much trouble in snow, 4x4 should be good? A week ago or something we got over a foot of now.. I drove into delta, 100 miles from Fairbanks.. I didn't have any problems other than the moose I had to dodge at 60mph.

 

[Charlie]

No, no problems getting through. When I refer to following tracks, I am talking about when it was snowing today. Weather here is only bad once in a while, when it is snowing/snowstorms. Other than that, the roads are cleaned up good.

We only get limited areas like that... then you hit roads with no snow, then all snow on the ground. Then you go back to the city and it's 75 and sunny, and then everybody gets bored. Only in the mountains... all we get is pavement. The Midwest is a lot more fun than you all let on... I think CA is a socialist state, compared to what all you guys can do... we can't do half that. If it snowed in the cities here, there would be a law against driving in it.... sheesh.

 

[Charlie]

You know, my chair is only flammable in California, so it is safe here.: There are some weird laws there.

 

[Donner]

I'm surprised there are places for people to go offroading here... I better go before it's outlawed...

Update time:
**First post updated

CB finally installed solid. No more hooking it up via cigarette plug.

Some interior parts painted black.

Also, I am back on the stock wheels, but they are a gloss black now.

Current things in plans:
Body lift?
Some type of front bumper bar, either replacement bumper, or just a bar
Removing fender flares
Taillight CB mount
Cragar soft 8's
Diamond plate floormats/foot boards

 

[Donner]

Lookin' good! (Ya gotta run those wires out of sight... temporary fix?

Haha, overhead console & foglight switch wires.: I need to run them through the firewall one of these days.
