Summer 2018 - Overhaul Project - After cruiser had sat up for almost 6 years, was ready to get out and start wheeling again. "Pepe" (The Little Mule) needed some love and fresh shoes. Had set a target of the 2018 ATR in Wind Rock Labor Day weekend to have him back and running. Trip was planed with 4 other trucks on a father/son trip. Would be my 6 yr son's first 4x4 trip.
