I'm starting to accumulate a stupid amount of parts for planned projects that I haven't even started yet...

I'm thinking about laying them all out on the garage floor to see how much space they take up.

When I have the cash to do the work,,, I don't have the time.

And... The insane part of it is, IF there was a way to get every one of those projects finished tomorrow (except the tires cuz mine are looking good at 20k mi) I still have intentions of undertaking 4 or 5 more somewhat costly progects...
• Train Horn
• Speakers / Amps / Subs
• 3½" Suspension -or- 6½" LT Suspension
• Widebody Kit (I'm @ 30% on this 🤔)
• Motor & Trans Swap for a Supercharged 5.0L Aluminator and a 6 spd Manual (I'm @ 10% on this 🤔) with appropriate Exhaust.

better hurry up, we are losing daylight summer hours, pretty soon there will be snow on it :(
Everything comes down to time and money, day late and a dollar short, we all understand :)

I haven't touched snow in 25 years. Moved from the shores of Lake Erie to Daytona Beach in an epic January snow storm. Though the mountains of West Virginia in near whiteout conditions. In a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 standard cab 4x4,,, with it in 4H till I crossed into South Carolina. I only stopped for gas, coffee, and a few "race horse" pisses. Watched a drunk driver kill himself, in a huge fireball, at 3am in Virginia. Gruesome. The cops chasing him saw it too. Hit my destination and slept for 14 hours. Started my new job 2 days later...

I moved to Texas 17 yrs ago. It got chilly enough 1 day, a few years ago, to snow on my dog in the morning but, it was all gone by 9:30 am. Haven't seen a flake since.

I'm pretty comfortable with the loss of daylight. I drive to work in the dark and I drive home in the dark every day. I'm usually the only car on the road that early and that late. I get to fire up the torches quite a bit.

I'll admit... I had a blast rally driving country gravel roads in the snow when I was a kid with my 1st Ranger.

But now... Any thing below 75⁰ and I'm freezing. I keep my living room set at 82⁰ year round. The shitty OEM knees, wrists, and shoulder tend to seize up in the cold.

I used to do this 8.7 mile run in under during the summers. It was wild ! I could still do under 14 minutes in the snow. I would go back to Ohio for 1 more run down Ridge Rd. to Bolivar.

I am interested in the air horn.
I've been debating this move for a while... I want the most extreme horn I can get. HornBlasters makes a Stealth Spare Tire Delete kit that would be perfect. But it's like $1500 plus another $250 for installation. I have their Ninja and their Sniper electric horns already. Those 2 electric horns are much better than OEM,,, but nowhere near the intensity of the air driven horn I want placed in the back. However,,, I am willing to let them go to a good home if someone wants them (cheap). I even purchased a wicked ON-OFF-MOMENTARY toggle switch from Concord Aerospace for the horns. Same company that built the Apollo switch panels for NASA.
