What new tools have you got lately?
Got a bunch of pry bars, tile scrapers and chisels, and some new dry wall tools to rip out the backsplash and countertops. Had to buy a cut off wheel and carbide blades for the sawzall to cut up the old corian countertops. Finally finished up right as the countertop installers showed up... -

Have to store outside. Truck Cover?
Yeah I bet in Houston that cover will save you thousands over time. If anyone is not familiar with Texas, this is why - -
How quick is your Square?
All of my neighbors and the people commuting to work probably wish I would see if my truck can run faster but for me I like to take it easy on the truck and see how long she can hold together. I get passed a lot. I have a car made for speed I use when I need to get around faster :)- TX87R10

Poll -Would doing a LS swap in a CLEAN 1987 V10 INCREASE to DECREASE VALUE?
It will increase the value (as long as it's done right) but you will not get back what you invest so it is a money sink.- TX87R10

LS swap cost - COMPLETE a-z Drive in, drop it off & pick up tuned and perfect.?
> I would want the shop to supply the donor LS, fuel, harness sensors - etc etc - COMPLETE A-Z - the whole shooting match. If you are having a shop do this I would consider how long you can afford to not have your truck when / if something goes wrong. > What is least expensive LS? Not a great...- TX87R10

What have you done to your square lately??
Lol nothing makes you feel dumber than running out of gas, thinking you are all smart and switching over, then realizing you are out of gas in two tanks lol -
What have you done to your square lately??
I thought about it but I just went and checked and it is actually a light blue color, not white. I did look up a set just now and yall are right that would look great. I think I would have to pay to remount each tire but maybe I'll do it anyway. -
What have you done to your square lately??
They actually are but I did white in because j wasn't sure how it would look -
What have you done to your square lately??
Had to get some new tread. Had two tires gone bad and they were all over 15 years old so went all around and got about 2" more in height. Definitely wouldn't mind seeing a larger tire under there eventually. -
Bed liner yes or no
When I got my truck painted they agreed to do the bedliner for $300. It turned out really good, not original at all of course but the bed had lots of dents and surface rust from years of working hard on a farm and hauling rocks and I wanted something to help preserve it a bit. Pretty happy...- TX87R10

*NEW* Become a GMSB Supporting Member
Would have to reduce the number of color options since you would need to order these in advance probably but I've heard good things from StickerMule https://www.stickermule.com/ -

It’s official, I’m a nerd
Nice bro. I am a big bitcoin believer (I develop software on top of bitcoin) so great to hear success stories. I bought my s5 with bitcoin money before bitcoin tanked in 2017 so I got my "lambo" out of the way. Also I have a cybertruck on order so no hate from me on Tesla. Though I'm...- TX87R10
