found out my AC was F'ed... all of the sudden one day my AC just died, this was back in the spring, and i never bothered with messing with it cause it really didnt get all that hot here this summer. anyhow i took it up to my father inlaws cause i dont have the equipment to vac and charge AC... anyhow long story short, when we hooked up the gauges, holly F*(%^@! S%*# good god almighty i was at 260 +/- psi on the high side. i dont know how i didnt blow something up, but we vacuumed it out and went to recharge it, only to be stuck with a vacuum on the low side... my expansion valve is probably shot... oh well time to start more repairs :ybrick:
 
Painted some undercarriage stuff with a fresh coat of semi-gloss black acrylic rattle can... looks a little more fresh, especially all the "stuff" that is exposed due to the ODL bumper!

JESUS dude! that's like 5 times the pressure, sketchy!
 
Went offroading, pretty sure I busted a CV.

Its not visibly broken from the outside, and when I drive strait it doesn't make any noise. But when I turn it feels like the front end is binding big time. Theres a loud and easily felt thunk every time the tire makes a revolution.

Time to buy a 35mm socket and take it apart I guess.
 
Made a cup holder, rear bumper build begun, iPad dash mount with GPS next week :)

This weekend we drove it down a bunch of dusty roads and loaded it up with about 2000 pounds of obsidian/ camping stuff/ people. It actually handled it pretty well.

If your father in law has another one I'll buy it off him. I need one for my front grill
 
Nice looking truck, Irrumo.

Thanks Ripcord
The first time I seen yours is what made me have to make my wife mad at me cause I wanted mine to look like yours.

The wheels are Koing Six Shooters from FN Wheels. Great wheels and nice guys to deal with.
