Giving the old girl a little touch up and adding rock guard to the lower half.



It has been a week now and it sucks not having my own truck to drive.

I get to picking her up today at 9:00am.

That's going to look good. Might have to do the same thing with the rock guard on my truck. Been thinking about going all blue rather than the King Ranch two tone it has. What do you think?

Looking good Mark! Need to get an updated picture on here for us.

IDK Torr, that color combination looks really good together!

Happy Sunday!

I made a mistake and went to the Apple store yesterday. There are so many gadgets that I want now. I had to pick up a "switch" that I have an app for, I can now control my christmas lights from my phone!! I also found a light system that is LED lights that replaces the standard light bulb and can change to any color, all controlled through my phone. Can turn them on and off at will. Looks like the days of having a light plugged into a timer are gone......

They did a really nice job and Im happy.

I found a few small blisters the size of a pencil point starting over the rear fenders so i figured it time to get it fixed.

I had them repair the blisters, paint both sides of the bed and add SEM rock guard behind the rear wheels under the base coat so you cant tell it there.

I could have sold the truck half dozen times while it was in the body shop, people left their name and number to call them if I ever choose to sell.

That's great news Mark. It shows how well you take care of your truck. It's also good to know you have options if the need arises.
As far as choosing to switch up my paint scheme, it will more than likely depend on price. The good news is that I will like it either way.

I could have a lot of fun with the SWITCH app. I would wire the guest bedroom with lights and give them a little surpize light show in the middle of the knight.
How selling the Jeep going ?

It's getting there. Just over 24 hours left in the auction. Almost 700 views, 30 watchers, and 8 bids. I'm hoping it hits reserve and delivers. The more I talk to the people that own the Bronco I found the more I would like to have it. Lol

Truck is running GREAT Rich, had a couple of phone calls with DP, Jody called me back, told me to watch my boost gage, call him back. I noticed up to 10 psi boost at under 1950 rpm. I had a slight drop inmilage just after I put my muffler on, so I dropped the muffler again, now waiting to run a tank or two through her to see how she does. Heading to the Hucklybee Railroad to today, so that will help.
