HOWDY Y'ALL from South Lake Tahoe CA

Post by Tahoe Wrecker »

Mornin Yall from south lake tahoe california...... been watching the site for awhile as my girlfriends dad (Mugwump) and i have been restoring and updating his 69 Ranger Bump. He's the artistic master!!!, i'm the muscle/mechanical/electric/welding guru.....Ü. we've just recently updated his door locks to remote, power locks, as well as installing an anti-rattle kit to the doors as well. he's got the bumptoons goin as well at http://www.cafepress.com/mugwump . if you see something you don't have but would like, feel free to get ahold of him with the details. i believe the next modification we are going to be doing to the "Tug" as we have dubbed it, is to install a tilt steering wheel, as well as a Saginaw power steering box. it's definitely difficult to do all this fun stuff with him as i live in tahoe and he lives about 220 miles away....... sooooooo i try to get down there as often as my wallet lets me...(and the boss too lol)...... SO anyway........ HOWDY[/b]

Rick,

Welcome from Louisiana! We're glad you're here, so pull up a chair and set awhile.

Make sure you and Mugwump keep the pictures coming.

hey Tahoe Wrecker,
i just met Mugwump almost a week ago on his way to South lake tahoe (your house maybe?) he told me about his handy helper and that you might join this site :thup: glad you did :D
Mugwump is a great guy, cant wait to see Tug too :D
he also told me about the power locks, i think im going to have to do it :thup:
he saw what Tug would look like in 1 million pieces (ive got a 69 f100 ranger project too, just in 1 million parts) lol

Welcome, Rick - it's about time (he proly spends more time scouring this site than I do, and he doesn't even have a bump yet - although someday Tug will most likely be his...)

Rick's definitely the 'muscle' behind the Tug project. Nothin scares him...

Here's a 'TOON I drew of his wrecker:
