Talked to my buddy yesterday, he'd just been to the doctor for his hand.
He cut it pretty bad a couple weeks ago ripping a board on a table saw.
Saw grabbed the board and pulled his hand across the it, 30 stiches.
Doc (plastic surgeon) didn't like the way it was healing so cut it open again.
She reattached the nerve on the thumb. He lost an artery on this thumb, but you have two so still has blood flow.
She told him his cut was classified as a partial amputation. Just a little deeper and he'd lost his thumb and index finger.
He called it dumb luck. Dumb for the accident and lucky to have all his fingers and thumb.

Yikes! Hopefully he can fully recover
 
Circumstances aside, I love stretches like that when I don't have to leave the compound
Today, if I get time, I’m taking all 3 down to my property a few miles away, just to get out and still be away from people and noise. Kids will roam the woods, it’s only 10 acres and surrounded by a 8 strand barbed wire fence on 3 sides. So they can’t go no where yet have freedom to roam
 
So question for you all. Would you do things to this truck or leave it original as my grandfather had it? I have to replace the windshield and rear window, both are cracked and leak. But while it was in there, I was thinking about having the rear and side windows tinted to match the rear side door glass which is factory tinted.

Only origional once!

This is true. But sadly it won’t stay 100 percent original. I have to replace the dash, it’s busted to hell. The seats will be getting recovered, they’re torn. And I’ve gotta get a new tailgate.

plus it’s not exactly wearing it’s factory sheet metal. About 15 years ago, lady side swiped him on the left front finder and he scraped the right hand side off a guardrail. So the right side front door, front fender and the bed was replaced

I mean I won’t make any body modifications. But I’d like to swap out to wider rims and tires. These things are so heavy that they really benefit from the wider tire patch on soft ground. Other than that and maybe the lineX I’m thinking of having done, the rest will be routine maintenance things that have been neglected
 
I just know my grandfather really enjoyed this truck but he also really liked what I did to my old 99. Modest, yet unique. So I’ll probably do something like that over time. Quicker if I sell the Jeep

Nice.
 
Yes... I'm cool with subtle ....
Have I ever posted my old 99? I was featured back in May 2008 in Diesel Power Magazine and a digital feature in 8 Lug diesel the same month.


Not sure I’ll go with the massive bumper again but I do want these rims and tires back
