Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

It really is well made, and two people can lift and carry it. I would still like to change the windows to something that opens with screen and tint to them, but that is for another day.
We have been joking around here about how it looks though.

Just a few more of the before and after shots:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Very nice work Murph!
Do you plan to leave the cap on once that you reach the destination?
I am hoping that your trip goes well!!!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Very nice!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Man, that looks great. I love the before and after shots that you have posted here. Good luck on your big move that you are working towards.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

X2...:metal:

Can't wait for the photo journalism of the trip south...:mm:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

hard to belive that they are the same truck ..when are you head south

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Hey man, things are looking pretty good for the long trek south. I like what you did with the shell and the bumper on the wrecker is a huge improvement. Looking forward to meeting in person when you get down this way. I'm sure I'll make it to Greg's for the get together. Good luck, and I'm looking forward to pics and stories of the trip.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Love the before and after pics!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Great job and pics!!!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Awesome before and after pics.
Can't wait to see both trucks in person.
Man do I feel like a failure. Mine/no attention/sitting. Getting everything else done if that counts.

Going to be EPIC

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Truck is looking awesome and I like the originality. I liked the growl in the Maiden Voyage video. Good meeting you and your wife today. Take care and good luck at Lewis.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Have not replied in a bit Michael, but just wanted to say thank you for posting all the before and after pics.

They really are inspiring.
Also makesxme look forward and want to get on with my truck.
But I will start once I am ready.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Ok guys, just so you know I am not missing from the face of the planet... just a note to let you all know, we made it home safe and sound.

As soon as I can find a better arrangement than sitting in the tow truck in the parkinglot of Mc-Ds, I promise to update my threads, and tell the chilling, yet heroic tale of our adventure from Alaska home.

Promise.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

alright! Glad you all made it home in one piece. Thanks for reporting in.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

glad you made it home

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Glad you made it. Don't you feel kind of out if place using McD's wifi? I do any time I ever have.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Glad you made it safe and sound

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Congrats on being HOME...:metal::ennyd::five::hot:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Glad you're home. Can't wait for the story.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

this has got to be a good story.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

This feels really weird....... I am teplying from Dalaman in Turkey on my iPhone.
Don't you just love technology.
Not as good as McD's but hey, it's wireless.

Great to see you made it and clearly in dood spirits.

Welcome home Mike !!!

Looking forward to your report.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Welcome home! Glad to here you made it safe.

Goto love that McD's wifi...may Dad does that sometimes too since he does not have internet at the farm house...

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

For any that still remember me, and are interested, no; the world did not swallow me up.
I do however live in what I call "The Techno-hollow" where I literally have to fight to get a text message out.

I will hopefully be in a place where I can get online from time to time, and I will.... I totally promise, to recount the trip down from Alaska.

Anyways, if you are local, hit me up....my cell number is still the same, so if you have it, dial it up !!

Everyone else, I will see you here soon!!

Oh yeah, nearly forgot, used the Tow Truck today to drag a 1960-ish C-10 Stepvan for my friend. I hope he starts a thread. It looks just like the one from Cheech and Chong.....

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

OOOOOH!
You are still alive!
I will need to give you a call soon!
I hope that all is well, and you are getting settled-in.
Can't wait to hear about the journey!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

I'll still be here hanging out.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

If you've got a line of sight to the mountaintop, call Air Pipe. WAY better than sattelite. Anxious to hook up!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Helping Murph out...:metal:

Found this on FB

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Sorry I don't, it was shared by one of his friends and I don't remember the name. If I can find it I will post it here

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

I went to my FB and searched McMurphy in the search box and Michael was the first result, Kelly wilson shared the pic

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Glad you're well, Murph!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Glad to see you back alive Murph. You can start tying your pictures to those pesky Grizzlies so the scientists can retrieve them when they renew the collar batteries.
Just put this on every picture:

Dear scientists,
This is my last wish. Please post these pics to my build thread. The grizzly ate me.
Thank you
McMurphy

Can't wait to hear how the trip went!
