Another little clip from today. Sorry about the skip, but you can see the climb.

Got caught in the rain today. Doorless. On the highway. And I couldn't reach my squeegee.
After I got home and I warmed up, I went to U-Haul to pull my doors out of storage. Looks funny now.

Most of that water is on the inside of the glass.
I also have two small lakes on the floor right now...

Productive day.

Installed my new Kenwood BT652U (still need to dremel a bit so it fits better)

Reconnect my cat-back after several days
Replace & Upgrade - MJ Build-forumrunner_20120821_185236.jpg

Scraped this out of my tailpipe before I started the truck

And got my mirror from UPS so I can drive doorless legally.

If anybody is wondering, I bought this mirror from Amazon for $12. I took off the clamp and the bolt that came with it, and I dropped a 1/4"x1.5" bolt through the hinge to hold the mirror on. I haven't driven with it yet, but it feels solid.
Now it's time for dinner. I've been wanting wings all day.

No O'Reillys out here. I think it's the same one they sell, but Advance/Autozone/Pepboys don't carry it. So I put up a link to help the nice people who follow my build
