Everything is pretty quiet on here so time for a new thread.
My Best Friend and I ripped apart this old jeep back in 2008 and rebuilt it.
I don't build as many things as I used to but I sure learned a lot of stuff about repairing trucks back then.
So what have others built over the years.

The Jeep now is sadly rusting away and was retired a few years ago, but we sure had a lot of fun in it.

We haven't started it in 3 years now. My buddy has to many project on the go. Still trying to finish up the new Utility trailer. He's hoping to get to it in another year or so.
He does have a 1988 F150 Fleet side that use to run. we were suppose to rebuild it but never got around to it. Doors have since rotted out, if someone was to stop by and offer him a few hundred bucks he would probably sell it. He had paid 2 grand for it originally. Has manual locking hubs and 4 speed tranny with a 302.

With the central heating .30 minute heating in the morning and

There will tons of places around the world offering great package deals to try and boost their tourism. Must be a better alternative to sitting on a cruise ship with 4,000 people bobbing around the ocean :)
The cruise is for next summer 2021 back in December I put 560 down. But I agree with you I'm not keen on doing a cruise, hopefully the trip gets cancelled? Actually I was trying to convince her to go to equadour
