Well, the day finally came to head to the hospital and have our 3rd baby. Gates is doing just fine and keeping mommy and daddy up late at night. He is a blessing and would not have it any other way. I see a future Jeeper in the future. But I will wait till he is atleast 2 to take him. Briggs started then and it made him very comfortable in the rig. So lot's of future fun!! My wife has been great as to let me work on a few things here and there and I have been busy! Finally got my genright heat extractors on and they look great! It was a bit nerve racking taking the saw to a perfectly good hood! All in all it was an easy task, just time consuming. Measure 10 times, cut once! I also had time to look around for a daily driver/ tow pig as well. I have been looking for awhile now to no avail. I was a bit picky though. Had to carry the entire family, had to be able to tow the jeep and had to have a cool factor as well. So it just happened to be right around the corner... my dream rig! I found an '88 6.2 diesel GMC high sierra suburban for sale. I was not expecting much as I went to look and expected to see a ripped interior, some strange smells and bad parts. But what I found was something else. The sub was immaculate and clean! 1 owner and well maintained! So I had to have it and bought it the next day. So I plan on fixing a few things here and there and modding it... mildy. So far I have painted the grill, wheels and rear valance. Replaced 2 radiator hoses, fuses, fixed the interior lights, changed the oil and flushed the trans. Just little things. I just got the trailer wiring fixed today and I hope to tow with it soon. I have to take the Jeep up to have some new lower control arm mounts put on and all my control arm bushings replaced along with the slip yoke seal. Been leaking for awhile and so might as well do it all at once. Hopefully this will be the last of the repairs on the Jeep for awhile. But atleast I can give her a rest and use it for the trails now!
