I was just going through looking at everything in this thread and reading some of my older posts.... Man i had no flipping idea what i was talking about on a lot of things. Whatever. Young and dumb. I'm still pretty young and dumb sometimes, but that's ok.

I finally installed my HID's into the new headlights. Now i can actually see when it is dark outside. Also washed the truck to really see how bad the damage from this weekend was... That tree screwed D up pretty good. I'm going to try and take a clay bar to it and get most of it out. We will see

I did get some cool ass parts for the cage in the shaggin wagon though.

I do that too sometimes. Its fun go back and see how far you've come, what you've learned, how your wheeling has progressed, etc.

I wouldn't bother with the clay bar.

If you ever took her to do some REAL wheelin, she'd realize it takes skill just to make it through an obstacle. To hell with the body.

Joking aside, there's a couple trails I take that I know exactly what part of my body is going to drag, its impossible to make it through otherwise.

did you guys see the picture with the tree??? I know what your saying about being careful and all, the damn thing doesn't "fit" where i want to go! (That's what i tell the girls in the club too). I know when i am going to do it, its not like its a surprise or anything. That was the main reason for buying the explorer. I got tired of the dents.... The bed is doneskies anyway, but i want to try and keep the cab away from God's Creations. Then i put 3 more in it on sunday

Little update

Yesterday there was a little present in a little brown box out front...


Then today, I took the truck to a shop to figure out why i had no power and why i kept hearing it backfire... Turns out the intake tube had a hole in it, and the EGR valve was leaking. Got it fixed, replaced the intake tube, and bought some new wires and belt and stuff to do a tune up. I'll take care of that and install the locker tomorrow.

Then on my way home, i seen D's little brother....
