Howdy everyone, it’s been awhile!

Posted

It’s been awhile since I’ve visited the forum and wanted to stop by and say hi.

 

Not a whole lot has changed in our world, still recovering from Harvey and trying to get our heads right. Tore down our old house last week which was definitely bittersweet but needed to be done. Still enjoying living in the RV and are really glad we got it.

 

So how have y’all been doing?

    I finally got some new shoes on my truck awhile back. I also got rid of the stacks and installed a 5th wheel.     Once I get caught up on some bills I’m going to Monstaline it. I

    I'm currently working indirectly on the Rattlesnake Fire which is still currently burning out my back door in the back country. I've been doing the repairs for the local FD keeping trucks rolling.

    Currently working on my 2nd engine swap in my new-to-me 99 3/4 ton! Not much has been done since I got back from Georgia last week however.

    Yeah I know been down that road a few times with other vehicles. It might be a controlled mess but still, a mess. I know if you can pull it all a part I know you can get it stuff back in there just the same. Looks like you took all the body mounts out and then jack the nose up to gain that tad bit of room to get the oil pan over the frame. Am I right?

    Yeah we tried to do it the natural way but there was no way that thing was coming out. Second time we've had to do that.

    Good to see you are still hanging in there Hammer. Hope the rebuild goes fine.  That was one hell of a run of bad luck.

    @Mopar1973Man I have a friend that lives in Nevada and the fires there are getting really close to his home. Last year we were all drowning down here and this year y’all are frying up there. A little balance should would be nice.  

     

    @dripley Won’t be rebuilding any time soon now that we’re full-time living in our RV. I’m going to build a cover for it where the old house was so it will be protected. We’ll have a beautiful view of the river just like our old house did but will be able to move it on out if the river decides to get frisky.

    It’s been over a year since we sat by the river, grilled some hot dogs, and just relaxed. It’s nice to start feeling like us again.

    Once I get caught up on some bills I’m going to Monstaline it. I still don’t have a top dash in it yet and some of the small parts from the interior were lost in the flood.
