As a ex wrecker driver I've seen axels bent by improper towing techniques or transport so if you didn't buy it new it was probably bent before you got it

I bought it new so maybe it was just a rare manufacturing flaw or transport thing?
Pathfinder I
Yes I've hauled just axles before to a truck dealership and it could have been dammaged before it was ever installed

I need to wire up a chase light and a red camp light. I dislike bugs flying into my food while I cook at night!
I washed her all up then watched the sun set with her..... *sigh*

Welded some jerry can holders to the roof rack.

Fender flares. It was way too hot today, but they were not going to install themselves.

Probably should have done this a while ago but I installed a fire extinguisher in the Tahoe.

Thank you for reminding me to put my fire extinguisher in the new truck. You will eventually need it, whether for you or to assist someone on the road. I remember 20+ years ago having to scoop water from a puddle with an empty pop bottle to put out a fire.

Bought it!
'82 f250 with a massive camper shell. Needs some stiffer leaf springs in the rear, new valve covers and some serious wiring work, but for $3500 it's a good starting point with solid bones.

Dang, I bet that thing gets roasting inside there in the summer, being all black like that! Congrats on the buy, though, I'd say it's a good value for money as long as the camper is in good shape and the engine is good.

On month five of waiting for my Overland trailer to be built. Been passing the time driving the Vette but I showed some love to the Ram 1500 by nearly finishing up my GMRS install.
Went with a 15w Midland MXT275 that is hard wired into the cab with a hood mounted antenna base. Waiting for my 6db gain antenna to arrive tomorrow to test out the range of this guy.

Yep, new paint job is gonna be one of many upgrades. Camper is in solid shape but we're planning on some serious changes inside, the engine runs great except for the overtorqued valve covers barfing oil everywhere.

So jelly of you 'muricans and your awesome GMRS regs down there. I recently wrote to Industry Canada urging them to harmonize with the US in terms of GMRS specs.

Did a little Craigslist action and picked up a used topper for the truck. Trying this out as an option to the Diamondback.

Thanks
It’s a “10 foot” finish on the top for sure. If I decide to stay with it I’ll have to get it repaired and repainted. OCD engage
