HOWDY Y'ALL from South Lake Tahoe CA
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
)...... SO anyway........ HOWDY[/b]

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
glad you did 
Mugwump is a great guy, cant wait to see Tug too
he also told me about the power locks, i think im going to have to do it
he saw what Tug would look like in 1 million pieces (ive got a 69 f100 ranger project too, just in 1 million parts)

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:

It's a beast!!
