Re: put away for the winter
I'm with ya on missing the truck. Mine had it's last ride about a week and a half ago. The first dusting of snow this morning says it's inside until spring. This winter I hope to replace the rear spring bushings and a bunch of small stuff underneath. Also really would like to get the sliding rear window installed. Funds aren't so much the issue but time to do it is.
