Hi everyone! Busy evening for me finally got a chance to get a video of the little hair like creatures in my pico. They look like little individual hairs and don't appear to be connected together. What does everyone think they are?
 
To be fair, any company making trucks as long as Dodge, Ford, GM, Toyota, Nissan etc has to know how to make a halfway decent vehicle. It's basically just preference for the most part
Excluding Tesla...

I'd say it's hard saying as they haven't been out as long as the bigger names I posted previously. I think the cuber truck is pretty ugly ugly though lol
 
I think everything is dead. the plants I think may survive. the snails were all hanging out of their shells and smelled like death. couldn't tell from the tiny hermits and think the ammonia spike would be small so I put them in. see if any shells dissapear. this isn't their fault but USPS. they delayed delivery of the package for 3 days. wasn't cold till Sunday. these were obviously left on the trucks overnight.

This is just awful I'm so sorry Paul
 
Thanks to your awesome son! As a Dad, I can only imagine how proud yall are of him.
Yes very proud of him and the young man he's grown up to be. Even if I don't think he calls his momma enough, but i guess all of us momma feel that way. Lol

I don't mix social media in for the most part. Everyone's so polarized nowadays, I keep R2R as an oasis from all that stuff lol as is i use R2R way more than any social media
 
I bought it as a $400 plow truck and probably would have been better off dumping the money I dumped into it in a more solid truck but eh, it'll be cool to hand down to the son! It didn't have a bed on it, and the it smoked awful. I got a free donor bed from a buddy and swapped the motor out for a newer 302w that i converted back to a 4 barrel, new intake, valve covers etc. Lifted it. Polished the rims from super oxidized to near brand new. Put a Eaton trutrac in the rear end, and had frame stripped down to a rolling chassis and wire wheeled and POR15'd the whole frame. Still a long ways to go. Unfortunately rust free is really hard to find/expensive in maine. I'm 6'3" for reference

I like you too much to be jealous, but I'll be honest, I had to fight it off lol.
Man, I cant wait to see your progress on it. I remember standing up on the bench seat of my Dad's 86 F150, trying not to knock over his beer.
Lol different times.

Bad for my wallet, good for the country maybe :face-with-tears-of-joy: :face-with-tears-of-joy:
I feel you, $500 more than last year and I made a little less! My wife and I claim zero, I think god doesn’t want me to upgrade. My whole gofundme account is going to the government and I’ll have to start over. What really hurts is that I was so close to getting to double digits. :crying-face:
