Good luck to your cousin, trust me, he will be well taken care of. No thanks needed though brother...after all is said and done, it's the service-members who appreciate the people we protect. Believe me when I tell you it was the people back here that got me and my guys through over there. So thank you!

Today after I took pics I did a little work. I pulled off the trim, fender trim, the mirrors and then I pressure washed it. I swear 25% of whatever the PO called paint came off. I did happen to get all of the double sided trim tape off with the pressure washer.

tvblazer78 02-24-2009 09:03 PM

Re: Project "Keep Her Happy"
 
Looks like you have your hands full. And that must be a good pressure washer.;) Keep posting pics as you go we love pics..

Well I talked to the wife and she will ride with me. You just wanna meet somewhere on 95? I know a lot of guys blow smoke but I don't... if you want to do this Saturday would be perfect for me. Just name the time and place.

Well I did a little piddling around today. Found some more PO half-assing. The back speakers were all jacked up. I didn't think to take pictures of that.:smoke:

I finished gutting the carpet, seats, and console. There were at least 3 boxes worth of baking soda underneath the carpets. Also, the carpet had a rip in it...check out how the PO "fixed" it. I need new weather stripping for everything on the truck...I didn't do any direct shots on any openings the other day when I pressure washed it but the carpet was wet in several places today. I had planned on the new strips anyway. Does anyone know how much Dynamat I would need to fully line the tub?

Hey guys,
Little update...I don't think I am going to change it over to a 2WD...it's a lot of work and money...and all my extra money just went towards this...
