you'll pay for that 9dawgs .. shorts

Haha! It was 80° here by me. I'm sure Mr 9dawgs was wearing sandals & shorts again:):):) Nice tree, how well do the fresh trees keep down here in Florida? We have a fake one...

My van sat in the driveway today like it does most of the time now. I only get out a couple times a week to do errands & such. No more cartin' kids around! (I kinda miss those days)

Swapped out a busted AC vent for a good one on the 95 in the rain, got sick....

Ha! Sorry Crash...I was just thinking of how funny it was that I was sweating as I was loading the tree on top of the van...so I had my mom snap a picture. I was wearing jeans, boots and a jacket a couple of weeks ago because it dipped down into the 60's! Hopefully it'll cool off a lot between now and next week when I head up to the Panhandle for my deer huntin' trip with my sons...

Real trees do well...you just have to keep water in the stand. I like the way the real ones smell up the house. We put up our fake one last year but it was kind of a bummer... If you're not vacuuming up pine needles when you take it down, it wasn't Christmas!!

Picked up a Transgo shift kit for my 2000 to hopefully fix it's very hard 1st-2nd shift. Ordered all of the fittings i need from Summit to get the trans cooler plumed. I wanted to avoid using any hoses and do it with all steel lines but i just said the hell with it when i realized the cooler uses 5/16" lines and the van's are 3/8". Got a kit to add a drain plug to the pan.




Went to check out this van yesterday. It's a 99 AWD with 120K on it and a motor that knocks. Everything else is pretty nice. The guy wants $500 for it. I think it's a good deal and I'm still considering it, but i don't really want to do all the work.

Got one of the trans coolers mounted up on my 2000. I forgot to take my camera, this is the best my cell phone could do.

Shit,Thats lookin good.
Here's my 88 cargo I sold.

Went to work early and removed skid plate after work went to get Crown rust treatment

yesterday--got new headlight doors, and the lower fan shroud repaired...
today--looked at the snow on my van and dreamed...hopefully can get something done on it tomorrow...


reaper--thank you...that's a nice looking '88 you sold...you should have held onto that one!!!

plowed through huge drifts, didn't get stuck, and enjoyed every minute of it - we got hammered with a blizzard - not all that much snow, but with the wind - HUGE DRIFTS - lots of cars in the road - just left there, and I enjoyed driving around them, especially the 4x4's had to laugh - want the "manvan" to tow you out? LOL it's been fun!

hey valleyboy have you seen this van around calgary, i know its a big city (i grew up there so i know its big) but i thought i might ask.

p.s. do you go on www.beyond.ca ??

Drove it for the first time in two months, because it snowed for the first time (my bronco doesnt see road salt) and to get our Christmas tree. It feels good to be "vannin" again.
