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:

Alexa & David's Wedding - Talkeetna, AK - March 2026

Seriously, this was one of the greatest weekends of my entire life.

 

Iditarod 2026 - Finger Lake, AK

This was my 2nd year volunteering on the Iditarod.  It was much harder than year 1.  Ended up on the trail for a week with half the trail crew that we expected due to weather preventing flights in.  

Epic adventure.
