      Ross72SIII,

      Where you in Burlington Friday afternoon last week? It must have been you driving with the soft-top rolled up.
      Nice looking rig. I noticed that you have the spare mounted in the tub on the RH side. What size is it?

          I know he was in Burlington at some point... I took this photo at The Spot, my favorite place to eat!

          I was wondering who it was, very nice truck!

            pjsank, Interco Trxus Mud, LT235 85R 16. Very good tire off road, not too bad on road. No issues with them so far after 3000 miles. Thanks for the compliments Zack . Its been quite a project getting it to daily driver condition. Im still learning a lot everyday.

                Today I put the front brush guards on the lights...bought them on flea bay cheap! Also ran into an enthusiast who is interested in buying a Series truck...I hope he can find a good one

                  Installed the OE drop plate, new shock absorbers and axle limit straps..upside is the PO had POR 15'd the chassis, downside is it included the bolts, nuts and exposed threads on the chassis bolts. Adds some time and effort to the job.

                  can't complain though...

                    It's really a prize paint job on that thing, was it like that when you bought it?

                        Nice. This was that sweet deal you posted about last week or so, no? I guess its name is Smokey for more than one reason now :P

                          Installed Ohio license plates. You've got to love a truck where installing license plates requires a socket wrench, an open end wrench, and a 5/16" drill! But at least the bolts are stainless and I've no fear of losing my plate!

                                Stripping paint then POR-15 on the interior bulkhead footwells. Only one small hole to patch near one of the screw holes on the drivers side floorboard. Makes me wish I had a garage.
