Nice find, somehow missed this. Can't believe you found a brushguard like that, a drive by. What color on the rims? Really gives it that CT look.

Thats a score of a truck!
I've been rebuilding a white 99 SD for way too long, but the car was too nice to part out. I'm also going 4.6. At some point I'll even finish the engine swap

I was amazed, just a few doors down... The wheels are some left over paint a bloke in England had left over from his house I would bet. We are probably going to do a similar color though.

My daughter has been driving it all over the property a lot over the last couple weeks. She loves the truck, but today we had a failure.




She shut it right down when she saw the steam.
steam. Radiator fill plug was the culprit.



Going to check it over but I think it should be a straight forward solution to this one.

This one was supposed to be a part out in my mind, but it wasn't in that place yet, so I was going to clean it up and move it on. Daughter fell in love with it so it's now a minor refresh for her first ride

Looks like an easy fix. Darn plastic crap anyway...

Been awhile since I've read any posts here but I'm really glad I read this one.... so cool to see your daughter adopt an oldie.

I was slightly surprised but also quite happy about it. Good to see you still lurking around @ihscouts

It however is parked for right now. It's been all hands on deck cleaning out the shop and epoxy coating the floors. She has been out there busting *** to get it done though. She knows that thing is not getting worked on till the shop is ready.

She’s motivated! Funny you mention the epoxy, I’ll be doing my barns floor soon too. Does she remember your black Rangie? The one prior to the Hunter. The Disco reminds ME of it.

That black RRC was her first off road and camping trip. She vaguely remembers riding in it
