It's been in Packwood for about 8 years and was used as a bunk house while building a cabin soooooo, the interior is in a serious need of cleaning and some rehab but it's all there and works.

Image. I was down in the park in Richland today scouting out spots for the photo booth and the game trailer for Bechtel's company party and I noticed a bag sitting out in the lawn. I was going to pick it up and throw it away and this was in there. I asked around and after an hour I guess it's mine.

Curtis, my sister Denise, and I dragged our spouse over the Naches Trail today. It's been a long time since I've ran that trail.... It's a vonderful trial and conditions were perfect for a mellow trip.

You're welcome!

So, after a year of it sitting on my shop floor, I at least got one of my posts anchored last weekend. :roll:

Finally fixed my exhaust that I smashed up at that Rimrock run a few weeks ago. Bought a nice bolt in kit from Dynomax which replaced my smashed up tailpipe and my stock muffler for way less than any exhaust shop.

Got sawzaw? I think I'd shorten that tailpipe. Ask me how I know. ;-)

I was thinking that. I'm also thinking of getting rid of the underneath too.

The placement I chose for my Dynomax tailpipe almost guarantees that it will never get crushed, and always stay purdy!!

Did you have to reroute the pipe because of the flat skid plate? I figured I would just put the whole thing on now and cross that bridge when I get to it.

You haven't flat skid plated yet? Okay, mine is not flat but up a few inches, and that did not effect my exhaust (much.)

No. I have a UCF tuck. Dynomax muffler sits above it just fine without rubbing on anything.
It's the goofy tall track bar mount welded on the D44 rear that required me to run my track bar upside-down.
Otherwise, it hits the crossmember on big bumps. So, I dumped the exhaust down and out just after the skid.
I had Brad Rhodes weld a support on the turn down that hooks up to the stock middle hanger.
One of these days I'll fix that! :oops: It's been working for years.

No I haven't yet. Couldn't afford to do a lot of things the last few years. I'm going with the Rokmen TT and a super short SYE. Then I address the rear D44 that I've had to address too many times.

A long build is almost finished. Two weeks off work has allowed me the time to..... work!
Finally finished hauling and setting blocks for my backyard parking project.
Now I just need to find some fill dirt and finish with more gravel.

Anyone have any extra dirt they want gone? Let me know.

Remembering what I started with, May 2014.

Back when I started the wall, I was driving the Oldcastle block truck, during another Hanford layoff. We cleaned up the yard, and had a bunch of old stuff that was discontinued or returned for off color. I bought over 5 pallets for less than a dollar a block. Can't see them unless I'm down in the corner hole, plus I'm cheap. :lol:
The final four pallets was all new stuff.
