Winner, winner, stalker dinner. ;-)

Dropped it off for an oil change and some other items that were due. I usually do the "other stuff" but I actually have all my skids off at the moment. Their prices for that stuff were extremely reasonable as well. They've done almost 100% of my scheduled maintenance since 2003 and have always taken care of me.

Lol, I work at a small dealership on 1325. We take all our recalls to them and they are phenomenal!!

That's good to hear from someone that's involved in the auto business. So many stories here about shitty dealerships, maintenance horror stories and all that.

Just another set of SSO Sliders

Out of the blue my sliders showed up so I decided to test fit'em before they get coated. Stoked on the craftsmanship and design! Thanks [MENTION=110183]SouthernSS[/MENTION]

First nice weekend I wasn't busy since I bought her. Had to rid the chrome emblems. Tried plastidip for the first time. Quite happy how it turned out.

Tried to wrap my rails. F'd it up really bad by basically not doing enough research and hurrying. Ended up prepping, primer, and painting Satin. Turned out pretty good but am gonna have them powder coated I think sooner or later.

These look cool. But I am trying to think of reasoning of having the larger platform at the rear extending out a couple of inches? Looks like they would have done this as a step for the front as well if they were doing it for the back. Or am I missing something. I am trying to decide which to get and I want them to double as a good step. But will almost never be using the rear seats to step into.
 
Finally some progress worth posting about!
I will def be grinding all those face welds in someone else's garage, what a mess! A 10" BD S8 will be mounted in there along with a M8000 winch(when I hit the lotto........) my cousin taught me to make all my marks with a razor blade vs a pen or sharpie, which leave huge room for error, do I cut the line, do I cut left of the line.....so on.......
Slow progress but maybe in another month I'll have it powder coated, and dreaming of a winch
Also thanks to Caleb at c4, I'm sure I'm a pain, but he's awesome and is always willing to help and answer questions

Finished the drawer system today, only thing left is to finish it. Probably won't happen until the middle of May or so. Next step is to get a ARB 50qt and get the fridge drop slide installed as I sold my Smitty ARTEC fridge. Pretty happy with how it turned out.





















 
1) Front license plate mount using 3M tape and zip tie
2) Canvasback Real Tree style rather than plain black liners
3) Added a black D ring in the rear with red pin
4) Piaa icon yellow DRL bulbs
