The one on the left normally is in the same position as the others lol... not sure what happened there. He made that when we used to get beach passes regularly. He and I would take our Lab out there and fish and just hangout... I kinda miss it.

I dug up this pic of potentially what its gonna look like.


Alright... doing this for the second time because I accidentally closed out of the Tab... fml lol






So my Father thought it would be a good idea to take an electric sander to my truck with 40 grain... this is the result... Thanks Dad.

So instead of being done with that side, I have to go back and attempt to make it less of a canyon. All this over a sticker that apparently NEEDED to come off. After telling him multiple time to just not worry about it, I'm gonna paint over it I don't care.


I didn't have the patience to do it, so I just primered over it.

One of the screws was stripped so I just taped over the light instead.

My Husband... and his bald head... doing something...

You can still see the canyon lol.


Now that's a Tow Hook and a Shackle!


And now to my Dad's mess of a truck...

At least its got a seat now.

Its pretty metal...

He keeps having trouble with the floor panels... probably cause he's welding everything instead of just bolting on. He's not the best at welding.

That piece of paper that says Camel has been there since I can remember lol

Looks like you got it all fixed up and primered. I guess in the end there won't be a sticker and Dad taught you a lesson the good way!

Well I had to primer it because it was bare metal showing and I didn't want it to rust. but I have to go back and try to make it more of a valley instead of a canyon.

Alright, Comments for the pictures in order.

My Awesome 4 Bolt Main... just found that out today.

Bored 40 Over!!!

And just pictures of the engine... that's my half naked dad... sorry.
In the morning I'm going to take more pictures... my phone died at some point.

Hopefully I'll have everything good to go tomorrow... well my dad is going to work on it most of tomorrow, I've got to go back home and get some things done. But I hope to have it drivable for the Mud Bog... its just up the street and if I get pulled I can get away with telling him I'm going to the bogs.

I can feel the torque from here, and it feels like a stump puller! Cam specs if you get the chance...

It ain't nuttin special. Just stock pretty much. I'll see if I can't get it tho.

Sealed Power Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshaft (I like it when I say Camshaft lol)

Basic Operating RPM Range - Stock
Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift - 194
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift - 203
Duration at 050 inch Lift - 194 int./203 exh.
Lobe Separation (degrees) - 112

I plan to eventually put in my Race cam.

That's the specs on that beast. Gotta do a 3 Angle Valve Job before I can use it.
