well i've been meaning to do it for awhile. i've had the olive drab paint sitting around for the last 6 months to a year. and after my college assesment tests i didn't have time to hit up pull-a-part for some much needed parts...

it didn't quite turn out perfect, but it's a start and a wheeler. got to go get 2 more cans to do the roof. olive drab will be the base coat, then some forest green, dark brown and black thrown in for good measure. then to fixing the running gear.

Noice! :redneck: but you need a second coat, you tried to stretch it and it got a little thin

Edit: But I would go beat on it before the second coat :-)
 
i ran out, the roofs not even done yet. i've got to go get a few more olive drab cans. but i figure i'll use the second coat by doing the camo. and touch up the olive drab that's still showing through.
 
You roll down a brushy hill your screwed. Ain't nobody going to see ya. :fawkdancesmiley:
 
well got some work done this week. picked up "new" control arms from P-A-P, bushings were in a lot better condition. mine were toast. center metal on metal. sloppy steering. cut off the 1/4" steel skid plate on the control arms and got them welded to the new control arms. found out that the upper strut bushing was torn on the passenger strut. so found a replacement at P-A-P. another direct replacement EA82 adjustable. that's the 5th strut top i've torn in the last 7 years... time for limiting straps...

tomorrow, picking up another new shaft for the passenger side, and some header wrap so that the exhaust will quit overheating the shaft's boot and cracking it. also picking up the pwr steering rack. then it'll be good for a thursday test run at tahuya.

friday, it's time to replace the intermediate shaft's u-joints... saturday, with luck, eric's cabin!

some progress pics tomorrow.
 
:fawkdancesmiley: it was on the trail till i tore out the sidewall. it's for sale at the moment. need money for the truck.
