What was the starting point? Why wasn't it fun? Long trips are fun.

Got up at 6 am, took some stuff to the dump, two trips to the scrap yard, went mudding (buried it to the driver side rockers, not on purpose) went fishing, torsion leveled it, deleted rear cats, and tilled the garden.

Weather was finally warm enough for me to crawl under the truck to run wiring for LED bed lighting. The project had lots of snags, mainly getting all the correct supplies (posi-taps, 3M tape, etc) and getting a good solder joint. But finally done today!

We went to a parking garage in Mississippi, Biloxi to be exact.

Still there. Casino hotel, George Thorogood and the Destroyers show. They still rock!!

Rotated the tires myself and cleaned the mud off the inner sidewalls of the tires just to make me feel better. Might I add, the tires/wheels are freaking heavy!!

Went to Home Depot and saw that Plastidip has competition now from Rustoleom "Flexidip"

Replaced the old coil shocks and rear shocks with Rancho Quick Lifts and Rancho 9000 series shocks. Took about two hours to do all four corners.
Before: 2.5" Rake
After: .5 Rake
