It flies day and night. Made sure to get the light kit for it. Simply because of my stupid schedule, I wouldn't be able to properly raise and lower, so the only time it comes down is inclement weather.

Sorry so long since the last update....Got the wife's garden done (with the bricks we hauled with the truck immediately after getting the bed back). I finally got my Flag pole i've always wanted. In the mean time, gotta get things squared away for winter. Took the soft top off the truck...

Well, finally got my 2nd cab home. Boy, if there isn't a story in this all in itself.... Long read ahead: I have a 2.5 car garage in suburbia. Having the deuce parked out in my driveway is bad enough for my neighborhood, but they've been pretty good to me thus far. No issues. But working...

A somewhat local guy had them. He bought an International Scout and the previous owner had bought the air ride seats to install in that. They never left the back of the vehicle and never left the box. This guy bought the truck, and wanted to restore it to original, so he was selling the seats.

Just made my next purchase for the truck. two brand new air ride seats for the deuce. $400 for the pair. Never been sat in.

I'll pass it on. I don't take pictures at that show anymore because the photographers there are absolutely best of the best. I just spent over $200 in actual prints from them to help support them, and to have some kick ass wall art for my office.

Monday morning came. We still had the no-go for getting into camp. We decided we were just going to button it up, and mini-van it into the show for the day and worry about camp later. After we got the kids all woke up, teeth brushed, etc, we were just getting ready to head into the grounds...

And finally! After all of that. We are ready to embark on our big annual trip to the Oshkosh airshow. This one is big though. This one is the 50th anniversary of the show being in Oshkosh so we knew we just HAD to be there. The oldest and I rode in the truck, while my wife brought the...

In the mean time, I added 300watts of solar panels to the roof of my camper trailer. Our goal was to be ready for the EAA air show in Oshkosh again this year. The black box is where the batteries and components are mounted. There will be at least one more box on the other side, but for now...

So this was the quick photoshop mock up I did to show my fab guy what I wanted it to look like when we were done. And the progress so far.

My wife always complains that my kid is either on the xbox, or has his phone in his hands. I told her, "remove the phone/controller and give him air tools." We were at it for many hours for quite a few days and he worked his butt off. He sanded/grinded 99% of the box in prep for paint. I was...

No turning back now. 38" cut out of the box. And of course, as soon as the box is set back on the truck my wife (who hates the truck btw), needs me to go pick up 6000lbs of bricks so I can start building her garden. Started refinishing the box...didn't get far before she needed the truck...

I hit the entire thing with red oxide primer and tan!

For some reason, I magically sorted my picture issue. many hands make light work....ok, well light"er" work. Here my son and friend were installing the new bump stops I got for it. The truck was missing the rubber from two of them. replaced them all. That was a lot of sanding/scaling.

So this summer hit me like a freight train! Last we saw, the truck was running around with bare frame in the back. The bed was shipped off to get shortened up, and I had a lot of work ahead of me. I'll try to keep this in order time wise... ~ I removed the spare tire carrier. ~ I took the...

Took her to work the other day and got some pictures. I drive past the new huge bakery my company built, and it has this large blank white wall. Seemed like the perfect setting with the white on the ground too.

Aussie Bloke, i've got Clarke headsets and a small comm box that works off of a 9 volt battery.

Getting really excited for this next project! They say she will run on just about anything, but apparently whiskey makes her clothes fall off.... Tomorrow I remove the license plate, trailer lighting plug, and mud flaps. Saturday, we load her on a flatbed to go a buddy's shop. This is just...
