dually looks great John. I’m gonna work on mine today. Haven’t drove mine down the road in about two years. Runs like shit.

    THANKS!!!  I AM SOOOO SATISFIED!!!     I am a VW guy through and through.. but I love me some slammed dually’s!!!!  And the amount of work that has gone into this truck is unreal…  It would be sooo much harder to replace than my pamper or my kombi!!!!   I think a project of this size, often, takes more than one mans wallet can endure… 😎  😎

I need to find your old thread I don’t recall, but I didn’t think you were running dually’s out back?

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

You should ship pamper over to Hawaii for your vacation! Get some great pictures and feel right at home.

It would be the SHIT if I could just drive to cali, board a ship with my bus and travel over with it.. then unload.. and enjoy in Hawaii!!!!!  Kinda like when I go to Victoria Island to see them tripple J’s!!!

yes I am…. I tried walking around yesterday… I didn’t get too far and my foot and leg were asleep and my back started hurting..  So I sat back down… Walking, and straightening out in general, triggers the pinch… leaning back in my wheelchair will trigger it.. I can lean back, in about 10 seconds or so my foot gets the pins and needles and it stats up the leg…   I lean forward… it all goes away about 1/2 fast as it gets triggered… 8-(  I do not like sitting in the chair… but… it’s the only way to not have any pain… so…. I sit… I had my MRI…. Waiting to hear the news… 😎  😎

I feel like my working future could be hanging in a pendulum here.. But I guess, more than likely.. they can fix it… 😎  But if working is causing all this pain in my body…  and working is causing me to keep having these surgeries, I need to stop working…. 😎  or find an easier job I guess…. 😎

Yeah.. it was a crappy connection on the starter.. she turns over like usual again!!!!   I went over every nut and bolt on the bottom side.. I put my pedal pan on and I hope to put my sway bar on the front tomorrow!!!  I took it on a big cruise around town out to the hwy and warmed up and run through the gears..  She seems very happy!!!   Today I rounded up a good wiper motor, put a voltage drop/ adjuster in line and now I have awesome working wipers now!!!  I haven’t had them in ages… I also fixed that roof rack a week or so ago…  I feel good about all of it..  But I plan to run out to Fruita then out to Palisade tomorrow and get a couple more miles on things…

FIRST thing this morning I had steroid shots at l5/s1..    HOLY MOLY THAT WAS INSANE PAIN!!!!!  He hit that nerve and wow… set my whole fucking right side up!!!! For what seemed like about 30 seconds… wow… it was something…. But I hope to be feeing better by the time I get to Arizona next Wednesday!!!!!

My brain has been all over the place the last couple months..  My back has forced me to sit and chill for long enough, I kinda sorta feel pretty good again..  I still do not have control of my right foot, which makes for extreme foot drop and a limp… But I am walking again… and that makes me happy!!!!!   Most of my shit boxes are fixed again.. That makes me happy!!! and Shasta is soon…. 😎  I can’t work….  it makes me hurt too damn much…. So… I am going to road trip my bus till I am sick of it…. 😎 😎   which will take a while… 😎
