I only have to fit some shocks, put it all back together, and remount the wheels (When they get back from the powder coater, and I'm done with the hard stuff.
Coming up will be an interesting process where I go to create a title from thin air, the the thing registered and tagged for use all over these sometimes united states
Getting closer all the time!

Looks nice. Do you have a fan in there?
I like the rear bumper, guess theres a little more to hang back there? Those slots in back would be great for lights. Light bar across the front of the topper?
Yep, the fan has ten speeds and sucks in air or pushes out and has a rain sensor which shuts the vent if it rains. The fan also has a temp setting which automatically opens vent and turns on fan if it gets  to hot.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, what is everyone running for coms? I have a 2 meter icom and a cb but want to make sure we have some sort of standardization for freq.

CB and those handheld radio things...
We'll come up with a commo plan and share it at Shawn't place during the meet up
Oh, and since the meet and greet is at a more or less civilized place, we should plan to have a cookout of sorts, then sit around and stare at some fire before sleepy time.
And
I have a guy to print up T-shirts set up...kinda.
For the design, I am planning to have that small nautical compass rose over a breast pocket, then that same big blown up compass all over the back. On the left breast will be something like "Real Man 2021 Summer Cruise", then the compass, then below that a scripture. Thinking the Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another. As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
I'll try and get the spellin' right but without some senior NCO direct supervision, no tellin' ;-))

Mike, you're still National Guard, right??
Go see your S2 shop and order some 1:50,000 and maybe something even smaller. They can get them for just about every spot on earth. Aside from that you could purchase and download the data from Lorain and a few others then just chop and paste to get a detailed map of the trail +, say 10-20 miles each side. Could cut and paste then print the strip, while loading the data onto a thumb drive to download onto a laptop (Like mine!)
Sounds good! I’ll go bug the guys at hhc then and see what they come up with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3. Door lock parts (should be Thursday)
4. Stove (TBD) small grill will work if needed
5. Led lights for camper (Friday)
6. (4) Wavian nato jerry cans (Friday)
About all I got so far. The ups guy is going to hate me haha.

Slapped the tires/wheels on just for fun. 4 are chrome that need cleaning pretty bad. 1 is painted, looks the best and where all should end up.

That Blazer looks great. How will you new camper top compare with the original hard top for weight?

I really want to see that chevy and meet up with the man who built it.
Or I could just put it up for a vote of the membership...So how many of you Real Men out there want this American named Mike to show up at the FIRST EVER real man off road get-together???

Yeah, I think I’ve said it before, but we were extremely blessed when we found this house. ~5000 sq ft in the main house, a 6000 sqft garage, and a second house of about 1000 sqft. I’ll post the floor plan for you perusal when I get logged into my computer.

I looked at that picture and I knew exactly what was going on. No reason why that optic needed to be mounted that way to fit in cages. I was just making the observation I wasn’t a fan if this is the sop for the 29th Id is all.
That post wasn’t me calling you or anyone on this page out, it was a blanket statement based on personal observations . I have watched, read, heard and participated in discussions with people falling all across the political spectrum and have found that a large chunk of them will comment or respond with a knee jerk reaction to one frame of a video or a photo that had been edited or purposefully taken in such a way in order to elicit a conditioned response be it good or bad.
Which is why when political or religious posts are made on here or elsewhere I happen to browse I withhold commenting until I feel as if I have something constructive to add to the thread, and if I feel as if I won’t contribute to the thread, I sit back and read, and on occasion learn something or just pass the time.
No worries I was not offended of the post by any means and didn’t see as a targeted post. One of the reasons I hate online posts and prefer talking in person haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Leave it to Bobby to be all calm and rational.
I've had to do many SI checks before I left the Army usually to my Squad's annoyance. The problem with photos that have been posted lately is that people tend to immediately jump in and comment without looking and thinking.

Volkswagen door panels remove from the outside of the car
I know have replaced the sticky lock on the rear driver door, the driver door. First one was neat. Second was simple.
Had to buy a set of Triple Square bits to take the door locks out but all in all not a bad job and it will be nice to be able to leave the Jetta outside without worry now.
