Man, that home-made cowl looks nice. Real nice. It gives me an idea to do to my '92 extra cab. But it's gonna have to be when the snow's gone, it's nice and warm outside, and I have the time to do it. Lol.

Well lucky for me my truck is sitting in the driveway. Well, one's in the driveway, one's outback. But this snow is causing issues; I need to do a bumper swap and I can't. I got in a wreck with my '92 extra cab and the rear bumper is toast, so I'm gonna take the bumper off of my '88 4X4 and put it on my '92, and the rear bumper off of a '93 Dodge Ram my dad had is gonna go on my '88, if we can do enough modifications to make it fit. But, can't do squat in this snow.

the only thing i can do in the snow is sit around and plow the few driveways that i have to plow
