Nothing fun today.. rotated the wheels and did brake job. Added a sweet decal and sat on the bumper with my wife and dogs and talked about what we are going to do if i get my dream job this week.

Well, this past Sunday I went out wheeling with "mytyeerinpie" and his buddy Justin on a nasty Class 4 (scale of 1-5) crawling route in the Black Hills. It was a great time, the truck was working good, walking over some pretty tough stuff, until we came to this tall, jagged double ledge with about the wheelbase of a 4Runner between the ledges--the ground was still damp from recent rains, and the light mud coating on the tires wouldn't allow enough traction to get past. I got it up on the first ledge a couple times, but once I hit the second one, the rear tires couldn't finish the first climb. Bummer! Then, on the way out, the mud slid me sideways into a tree, where I proceeded to flatten one door and a quarter panel...ouch! Well, she's looking like a serious trail rig, anyway.

Yeah, I know, I know--LOL! With our small group, no one was taking any pics of the rigs, but I did get some footage on my brother's GoPro from the roof of my truck. I'm not savvy on loading the YouTube stuff, and the video needs drastically shortened (lots of dead time while fighting that obstacle that sent us packing)--I plan to get it to Tye so he can load up the thing. I'll get some pics of the new damage and post them, anyway--you can look at the "trophies" after the fact. Next time my brother wants to come along and record a lot more, so hopefully we can document things better then.
Lets see...I removed/replaced ALL the speakers in my '95, and found out the ones on the sides in back do not work! So...I removed the head unit (Aftermarket Pioneer) only to not see anything wrong with it?? I did notice the power antenna lead wasn't hooked up to anything, too. Tomorrow I will be looking at replacing the head unit with a newer one with bluetooth, and other options for music when out of range of radio.-------Metalguy
Pulled the trim work around the shifter and under the dash as well as the glove box (yup, I've got gloves in there and the PO's cheap sunglasses) to try and get a CB installed. Found a Firestik antenna cable that went nowhere, just hanked up behind the glovebox. Realized after everything was out that the antenna mount I bought won't work with the tire carrier in the back, so I put it all back together (minus the old antenna cable) until the new mount gets here and I can get a couple of hours to tear it all apart again.
I fixed my power antenna today. Bought the mast through amazon, and found that the plastic grommet attached to the old one was needed to make the new one stay in place. The PO disconnected the power to the antenna after the mast broke, evidently, and just removed the old mast and plastic, then shoving the broken piece back in for reception. I was hoping the motor and assembly was ok, so when I hooked up the power, hearing it run was a good sign. All is well now, the antenna works, and reception is good. Speakers work perfectly. Life is good. Now to order that plate bumper kit, and buy me a new welder......-------Metalguy

Took the top off after 6 months on. The top is now hanging from the ceiling of my garage. Ruby is feeling free!
