Another Utah wheeling trip in the books!

Just wrapped up another great Utah wheeling trip.  I did the first part of the week solo, then Mark & SNA joined partway through.  Another wheeling friend of mine happened to be in Moab at the same time so he joined up with us too.  Excellent time overall.

Kid Rodg rebuild has commenced in earnest

After rolling Kid Rodg, my '93 Toyota pickup, in May of 2025 it has been parked while I; 

• ignored it for months
• shopped for a replacement cab and found one
• ignored it for some more months
• worked on my 80 series Land Cruiser

As of Friday 3/27 I have started the rebuild wheels in motion.  I got the new-to-me cab moved into the garage where I have some sheet metal repair and modifications to make to the cab.  Then sound deadening will go on the interior and lastly I will be trying my hand at a DIY paint job.  Here we go...

I will be documenting in more detail at:
