So....days later we had another good day......stripped the front bumper
off for repaint, added a low profile hoop for no reason other than I can't
leave anything alone...........


Besides that......enjoying the brakes, roof rack plans are in the works
cuzz I can't see beating on our 4Runner..........Don't buy Swiss Cheese
from Hannafords.....it's not real........and it's snowing again right now,
kind of digging it......

FISH !!
How ya been?

Euro-trash.....LMAO, that's the plate it's gonna get if I can get it thru inspection! You read my mind......although the woman at the town hall is a bit of an old bitty so, I'm sur I'll get a raised eye brow & scornful look....

All these LED and LED accented lights now a days, figured I'd work it in reverse and go yeller......although while illegal in Britain, it's okay in France.

Yellow is up & coming....you just watch!

Droooool.. I love old MB's -- I used to have a 64' 220s and it ruled.

Yellow is a french thing, it looks awesome on some cars and not so good on others.. I'm not personally a fan of it on LR's but maybe on an old defender or something it might look awesome

You need to work with what you have, I'll agree it's a bit much but the black over lay helps tone it down.......I was happy to find those head lights are actually glass & not plastic, made it easy to buff them out.

WHHHOOOOOWHOOOOOO! Spring has finally sprung!
Been hanging out pool side with the ladies........



On top of that, all these home projects need attention.......the 4Runner has been doing all the heavy lifting due to the 'Tramps measelly little roof rack.....I put an end to that, this guy needs some lumba', sheet rock & plywood dammit!



So, built me a low-pro rack and bolted it down to the sub-par factory gig, she measures in at 4'2" x 6'6"......simply flat and low!






While lean and mean.....it'll also double as a nice dance platform for the ladies.........Note the Winnebago wing tips off the back......



Hope you're all doing well, I need to go slap some beef on the grill!

Glad your still whack'n away at the Tramp. It hit 92 here today, so off to the auto palace I went. I now have A/C, the winter beater has gained three more seasons..... Um, the crank sensor never was the problem, it was a non-waterproof connector on the new Airtex fuel pump. Got wet, stayed wet and corroded two pins. My son was the one who diagnosed it on a hunch, the apple did not fall far from the tree.... very cool! I can swap out a crank sensor in less than 20 minutes...... get'n really good at it.
