no pics, but had my front main seal replaced for dirt cheap the other day while checking out something else on my truck. $130 and now I don't have to do it. driver window motor stop rolling up for some reason, so I have to replace that, but already have a spare on hand, and I got a new PCV hose and Fram to replace the old hoses and Fram PCV filter on there. taking it to north Georgia for an overlanding event next weekend with my old rover buddy I used to wheel with 14 years ago.

oh and we got some snow earlier this week (and 6" more tomorrow!) pretty rare for Nashville. I'll try to play in the snow tomorrow too.

Smile LR rescuring RR

My RR slipped on the side of road into a ditch. My LR rescued pulled it out. Wished I had made a video :-)

Ah, no doubt! The epsom green are very sharp too. Truth be told I don't think there's a color I don't like on these.

I had a red matallic one, did not love it. Was a great truck however. The current Epsom Green is nice with black trim.

I have my eye out for one of the blues, there is a carabean type blue driving around. Maybe I can convince them to sell.

Got my rear cup holder working again! A simple item, but one that has been nagging me since I got the Disco. Quick fix with the help of this video.

Couple days ago I spent some time figuring on the wife's disco again. It'd been a while since I'd looked at it. I'm afraid to say for sure, but I *think* I might've figured out the intermittent no start. I'll hopefully work towards repairing the issue soon.

Then yesterday we got a bit of snow. Actually a decent amount over toward my wife's 300+ acre family farm. My wheeling buddy and I loaded up the ladies and decided to go snow wheeling.

His Disco is down right now, blew the spider gears out of his rear end, so I was loaning him my Tahoe for the day. We loaded the Disco up on the trailer behind the Tahoe and started towards the farm.

We we're coming up the last section of hill coming into their property and the hill turned into a solid sheet of ice. Made it almost to the top before we lost traction and started sliding backwards. I started aiming toward a stump on the side of the road about 75' behind the trailer instead of going over the hill side. Thankfully the impact wasn't bad, but bent the last beam of my trailer in about 12". Should be a simple cut out and replace.

Anyway, her family brought a tractor down and pulled us up far enough we could unload the Disco and we all made it up from there. That was the most excitement we had for the day; the "actual" wheeling was fun and uneventful.

0° F took its toll on the 03's battery. Bought a Diehard and swapped it out.
