Phil I think the words Moderation and possibly badly done don’t always sit comfortably side by side. The original gold one, posted by me, is a combination of a front bumper and then side skirts from another manufacturer That may be what made it work for me.

Yup, I know. WTF? But hey..... someone had the balls, the vision, the cash. Kids bed in the bed. Yesterday a redelivery by Royal Mail. All the way from Texas, thanks Brelen. Yup..... Lug nut caps. I need to get the Anthracite paint, and redo the centre caps, then add them to the truck. Also need to check the wheel nuts as I have now done about 100miles on the new wheels and ryres. . I'm glad you have some correct Nut Covers now Rian spray them with some Adhesion Promoter before you paint them with any colour. Not painting the nut covers Pete, All they need is a good clean, maybe start up the dishwasher, and then to be sprayed with a plastic,enhancer, or WD40 to make them look all shiny again. Will see, first try will be hand washing in the kitchen sink.

	So. Yesterday’s little trip was in the S10. I find myself using it whenever I can find an excuse, though it is a bit of a pain with my back right now. I was really chuffed to have Sally along for the ride as well. She is a good girl and good company, always putting up with my random flights of fantasy. Roads were absolutely easy at 10.00am First time ever........ Red lights.... allowing the escort vehicle to follow through on two mobile homes. Sally on camera duty of course. Headed under the Thames River. And through the other side....... Headed for Dagenham, with Waze guiding us through some industrial estates. Into a residential area Clearly up and coming. Question is.......... What did the truck have to collect?

	Knowing you, probably helping someone out when you should be resting your back! I’d like to think it was some truck bits but part of me thinks it is a bit of Grizz wombling🙂

	So. Road trip. What did we fetch. [ Yup..... I can say that I struggled to get out the truck after 30 miles to pay the seller. Her husband and his mate had been forewarned that I wanted it, but could honestly not even lift it into the truck bed. She had measured it for me. 1550mm x 1280mm So they loaded the truck for me after we had opened the tonneau cover. No motor and bits n pieces. Ideas?? Well, I cannot currently even tie my shoe laces, honestly. So why not sit upright, my butt would not fit in the sear for sure. Remember this? More ideas. I do have a mobility scooter chassis stashed away. Something I recently saw on FB. Could one create this on a mobility scooter? This morning I went to see what I had bought. Happy. When loading the gokart chassis yesterday, Andy, the seller said to me “what caliber were you shot with? And it took a few moments to realise what he meant, the holes where the Fleetside badge had need fitted through. So this morning I also decided to refit the badges till mate Andy in Oklahoma gets around to casting the alumninium pieces for the truck. Mate Gary in Florida kniws I love a battle weary flag. He texted today that he has two for my garage and carport. And in other news, Dennis in St Louis continues to add parts to his NASCAR truck. I am so loving the whole stance. We know it goes now.

	Always something. Noticed at the weekend that the tailgate retaining cables were not quite as they should be. The drivers side was held captive by a Nyloc nut, and the passenger side had its original equipment fitted, so could release the slotted cable end. As fitted. Whats missing. Conversely, the drivers side unit had been replaced by this part. Not ideal. So with zero chance of finding one here in the UK, I decided that slightly rounding off the corners of the bodged nut would be as good as it gets for now. Bench grinder to the rescue. Back on the truck. Do e. .

	For me, right now, even driving 14 miles to town and back ends up in some serious pain. Mate Kevin drove over to see me today from Maidstone and picked up some anthracite paint at Halfords. I had decided after painting the centre caps silver, that it was not the right colour and needed changing, regardless of outcome. So a reasonable match it seemed. First of two coats. Difference apparent First coat on. Second to follow. Then Sally popped in, on her way home and I managed to seduce her....... Withone of these, before she headed off to do a load of chores Bacon (loads of it) and egg toasty sandwich. . Then she went off and I added coat one of clear to the anthracite, which perfectly made it a touch darker. And much later, a second coat of clear Have to say, I am really pleased with the outcome. Fitting when I get a chance. .
