Greetings from Jerome, MO
I have been working on cars for the past twenty years, mostly electrical, suspension, and steering. I have worked as a technician, parts sales, service writer, and shop manager. I enjoy the old hot rods as most people on here I am sure do, my current project is a 1979 Chevrolet truck 4X4, this truck is what I like to call my Frankenstein truck as it has pieces on it from 1973 all the way to 1987, even the four wheel drive train is not factory as the truck came out as a two wheel drive. I want to build it to be able to handle just about any kind of trail on the planet. I love working on my truck even though I get extremely frustrated at times. I will always take any and all vehicle advice as I believe that we should never stop learning and that with everything changing and new techniques coming out and being developed. I continue to learn and study just about everything I can get my hands on. Also if I can't what I need or want I will fabricate it myself.

Welcome to CHR, and sorry to have missed that you were new in your other thread! Man, I had to Google Map the town of Jerome to see where it is. Looks like it's a pretty small community - the Jerome Access to the Gasconade River appears before the town shows up Reminds me of my youth in Southwest City, MO, a little town of about 500...

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Welcome and good to have you here! While I am not "into" 4 wheeling any longer, I have spent many hours getting pickups stuck..
Hope you enjoy you're stay.

Yep, Jerome was pretty much unheard of until earlier this year when it flooded really bad around here, we do not even have a post office and there are no businesses in this little town we have to go 10 miles to buy anything. The river access is no more the Conservation department shut it down due to a 20 foot deep by 60 feet wide crater in the middle of the parking lot due to the flooding if you like I will post some before and after pics. Getting them stuck is only half the fun getting them unstuck is when the real challenge and fun begins.
