Got some new shoes on the truck and did some sheet metal work and thought I'd post up a few recent pics.
Last outing went a little something like this: (this included 2 busted ujoints, i busted brake line, 1 busted 35 spline warn, 2 broken tail lights, i broken leaf spring, lots of dents and aggrevating things like the windows not wanting to roll up or down due to sheet metal damage. There is actually a few other things I could mention...but can't recall at this time. Truck was tore up!)

All sheet metal has attempted to be straightened. (Car scissor jack worked great on the bedside to push that back out.)

There isn't anything I can do for the door. Just wire wheeled the rust off and cleared it. Did replace the side mirror though!

Thanks guys! It's a lot of fun and I like the dents too!

It's been a tough rig and been up quite a few trails. Glad to have some time to tend to all the maintenance and get some new tires. It had more broken parts on it than i can count.

I love the look on the dog's face. "WTF did you do to the truck?"

It's his truck. He was pissed.

Funny story though...spent many weekends over the past months up on the farm working on the truck and the whole time....the dog just layed in the shade and watched. Never once did he decide to go roaming around or chasing the horses like normal....instead...stared at dad workinig on HIS truck. My old man was even joking about that.
 
man. im likin the beat up frontier. you really dont see many of em. looks mean with teh 39.5 roc's. what size was on it before? or did i miss it. your rig makes me wana take a tire iron and beat up my yard ornaments.
