I was asked about my future plans in another thread. I'm going to post them here to kinda be a guide for myself and you guys. Here's what I'm wanting to do if everything goes smoothly...
  • Finish my fence building
  • Fix whatever's popped up to make her not start. Embarrassed me at Lowes this weekend

  • Pull bed off again now that I don't need it every weekend
  • Finish rebuilding the Rockwell T221 Transfer Case
  • Change fluids and seals on front and rear differential
  • Paint everything with Por 15 under there to keep it safe from the rust monster
  • Paint the bumper and put some bedliner in foot areas to look more modern.
  • Put the bed on some kinda stands so I can weld up holes, beat out dents, and...paint? Maybe.
  • Remove old wood and the rusted through strips, replace both.
  • Put my fenders back on so she doesn't look like a little girl with her skirt tucked in her drawers in the back.


I may have posted this already so sorry if I did

It uses 2x4s and decking boards for the planks and supports, and big ol' fat ground treated 4x6's sunk 2' 6' in concrete for the posts, except for the big gate posts that are all cedar 6x6's, 10 ft long. The decking boards are shrinking as the treatment evaporates off of them from the factory so I'll have to move them to fill in the gaps once they're all dry in spring. You know, just snug them up again. I should end up with about 4 more boards worth of width the way they're sucking up!

And here's my baby in her new stable. See the tires? They don't look too different. I'm happy with how easy they turn too. It's a noticeable difference.

Some people are like slinkys. Not worth much but funny as heck when pushed down stairs.
