    Took the running boards and rear bumper off. Then put my CUCV grille guard on for shits and gigs.

    Then took it to my buddy's work to power wash all the gray primer off. Looks a little better.

    I have a friend that offered to buy it. May sell it, I don't know yet. If I do I will get something else.

    My plans if I keep it:
    Spool
    Welded front
    4" front springs
    Shackle flip
    Tires
    Single stage desert tan
    Have fun

    Always liked the brown/tan two tone. Nice score on the hydro 465 that happens to be surrounded by a running driving truck

    Should be able to plant one tire, spin the other (off the ground) and count the driveshaft revolutions.

    It is a fictitious number representing a LOT. So, looks a LOT better.

    No I get that. Let me rephrase. Why do people say it on this forum? Never heard it anywhere else.

    I guess it's a little more widespread than you think. I'm on a guitar forum, and have heard it before.

    It's a thing. lol.
