Home sweet home!!

Well I got it home safe and sound, mainly due to the fine assistance of one Mr. Gimpy. (Well OK, he did about 99.9% of it) I think I saw somewhere on here that someone made the comment that he is well respected on this site, I second that.

I got to spread some gravel and wait for it to dry up a little before I can put it in the designated parking spot down by the shed. (the wife's comment was "I gotta look at THAT!?)

The priorities are to get the master cylinder rebuilt or replaced (I got a new lone in the deal). Then I need to get the lights working and get a title. Got a lot of clean up to do, and eventually rust and paint work. It's got some damage to the tailgate, but getting it to open is the main thing. I know what I'll be doing this summer, and the next, and the next....

It was good to meet you John. Going through the axles will be time well spent. You will know its right and that is worth a lot! I got home about 8pm and hit the couch. Got that thing is comfy, I doubt I will leave her the rest of the weekend!

Tell "the boss" its camo and it will blend right in the the trees in the back yard. HEHE!

Here's another pic going through downtown Hamilton Oh., turned a lot of heads going through town! The only thing close to a mishap was the rubber rope broke on one side of the tarp. We secured it before it became a real problem.

Yeah, the previous owners "friends" got it stuck and tried backing over a 12" tree. I just want to get it to open for now. I think I'll end up getting a new one eventually. I think I can use a hydraulic jack and Porta-Power to straighten out the rest.

Just grab a 12lb sledge! (Might want some ear muffs too.)

Congrats on the recovery. The wife needs to look at it from a different direction. She will never have to wonder where you are.

If you need to get the tailgate open, just let Gimpy take it for a trail ride

I need the tailgate open, not the side bashed in!!

I saw his new stencil on the door!

Congrats on the new beast. At least now you will know what all the head aches are from.
