I guess that would depend upon what else she has in there.

The only negative I see with L Carter is that I didn't have a chance, when I was younger, to enjoy her personally/physically. One of us would have fun at least.

R19 or R21 Brew? I'd say she had to be R34/C at least. lol

I was up having a cardiac arrest last night. My Broncos tried to lose last night.

I concur with cairbear... have you taken the red truck for a shimmy down the road yet? How was it if so?

Good Morning fellows.

I'd also like to drive "lil red" around and test him out, but...................

I got a call last night saying that the truck wasn't done yet. His trans man, got into a car accident and won't be back to work until Monday. I wont see the truck until then.

Oh well, I can at least have my daughters last garage sale for her this weekend. I will have enough room now to hold it without the truck home. I guess that there are something that work out for the best, and this may be one of them.

I wanted to change the rear window this weekend, but will have to wait now. At least I'll have my living room back to normal after the sale. The balance is going to Big Brothers/Sisters. It will be nice to get my house back in order after a month of waiting. lol

I wish you all the good luck for garage sale!- there is a lot of effort that goes into them- watch the oversized boxes- dont give yourself a hernia! lol-

Bear. I believe that Gabriel made the shocks for Dodge in the 90's. Tenneco had the contract at one time (Monroe). Since Dodge isn't listed in the top 10 of American made parts currently, they could be Chinese now days.

He needs new shocks, since he dont off-road or heavy haul anything, i advised just oem replacements- one auto store sells Monroes, the other Gabriels- ( they're prolly all made in China these days!)- ill send him the gabriel direction.Thanks, AK, have a great afternoon!

Hey Brew. That dark red lifted 97 you posted up, do you know what the side mirrors are that are on it? They look like 06 up Explorer mirrors. I sort of like the look they presented.

I cleaned up my rear slider today, and hopefully will get my truck back tomorrow, so I can install it. I've cleaned the rear window trim from the donor and it's all prepped and ready to go in also. New bulbs, cleaned lenses, coated the trim to hold it's color. I'm ready. While the window is being replaced, I'll go ahead and clean the headliner while it's out. It just makes back window changes so much easier, IMO. The two corner clips are a bear to remove, with the liner attached. It's clear sailing when it's out of the way. It also gives me full access to the overhead wiring plugs, etc, so I can add my Homelink/autodim mirror without running a bunch of wires.
