Picked up a house in Temecula, CA
Put an offer in, expected it to take forever to get Fanny Mae to accept but it went quick and they accepted my low ball offer.
The House:
The BackRack has been stripped and has been primed and the first coat of paint applied, need another coat but a little too windy to do now !
Ordered 4.56 gear of true EDGE and an OX Locker for the rear.
Found an 8.8, 31 spline, large tube axle will need to set that up then swap it in.
Also need to add the adjusting bolts to the front end at the same time.
Then I can start on the electric door conversion, power windows, locks and '06 mirrors.
The view from the front door:
The house is 2500 sq feet, built in 2009 and foreclosed on in 2011 no one living in there for the last twelve months. When the people left they took a few of the utilities with them and tried to screw up the furnishing for the next person.
10 acres of land, a few coyotes and rattlers but it should be a new experience and a new chapter in our lives.
There will be a new shop too.
38 feet wide x 36 feet deep, sort of a large shed with a side bay.
Main building will be 28 x 36 12.5 wall with interior clearance of 14' and the side bay will be 10 x 36 x 9.5 wall
All steel, with a 12 x 12 main door and an 8 x 8 to the right of it still on the front.
A few windows, will have the building framed for two windows in each wall but on lt two windows on the right side with a passage door for right now.
Cupola and weather vane, always wanted a Cupola and weather vane and four panel type sky lights.
I am trying to download the picture but I can’t pick it up from their site.
The maker of the steel building will be Absolute Steel Building Kit; their Alpine Kit modified to my specs.
Can’t wait for the new place, new shop and new events in wine country SoCal.
When in Rome do as the Romans do, drink wine, eat well and be happy.
Thanks for listening.

The House:
These are waiting to be installed, both from C4x4 in OK.I missed something.
You ordered custom front and rear bumpers?
Nice Grev.
