Could this be the end of the Dirtnali?

It has been almost two years since I rebuilt the Dirtnali but the time has come to finally button up the rebuild. With close to 70k on it, it is time for new tires but Mr. Spotty wanted to be SURE it was time. Some regular maintenance, extra rustproofing and some finishing touches will all be included in this video, but is it over?....

Hard to believe it's been so long since I started watching, I think the "mistake" truck was the first build I saw (crazy youtoube suggestions) and the dry sarcasm kills me. I work on all my own junk because I can, and have to. I have picked up tons of little tricks just watching you, THANKS!! And the outakes and "what's in my console" segments are priceless. I subconsciously started saying "in the pile" whenever working on my junk, or cooking, tossing cans and scraps or whatever in the trash, so much so, my wife does it a lot now too. Cracks me up everytime.
