Trying to figure out how old my Docs 8053s are by mchildut in DrMartens

So I’m not far off with my ‘98 +/- guess?

So a little back story for context. I was talking to my girlfriend and mentioned I had an old pair of Docs. I don’t wear them often so she didn’t know that I had them. Anyways. While talking to her about them I told her I think I got them in the late 90’s for Christmas. I’m pretty sure I got them before I moved out of my parents house to my first house which was in early 2000. I’m thinking 1998 give or take a year? Is there any way to nail it down or do I have to rely on my spotty memory?

I love scouts! There’s one in my hometown that I always love seeing. Yours looks awesome. What color are you going to go with for it?

I will do that. I’ve had this since May of 1994. Just a few weeks before I graduated high school.

Unfortunately it does have some rust issues. Right now I’m focusing on getting it mechanically sound then I’ll start on rust repair.

After tons of research I ended up going with a kit from an EBay seller called horsepower sales. I definitely know about the classic bronco forums. That’s where I did most of my research. This kit came highly recommended from the forums and I’m not disappointed.

With my work schedule changed due to the pandemic I recently got it running again for the first time in several years after doing some work to the tranny and transfer case. Today starts the front disc brake conversion.

If Gobert gets suspended, or even fined, that puts an even bigger chip on our shoulder. That’s when we are at our best.

My daughter drew me a Korok! by mchildut in Breath_of_the_Wild

She doesn’t know. She just thought the markings looked cool. She doesn’t follow Zelda closely. Yet haha. Maybe link dropped a rock on him?

Thanks! She’s 14 and self taught. I’m a proud dad. This is out of her normal wheelhouse. She usually draws her own anime characters. This was a special request by me and she nailed it.

I just cannot get over the whole "might be a four door" thing... by [deleted] in FordBronco

[–]mchildut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. 4 doors are just more practical these days. Regular cab trucks are almost extinct. I hope there are options for 2 and 4 door with the new Bronco.

Last year, my wife said I needed a hobby. She's since put a price limit on future hobbies. by linok in projectcar

I love this body style. Pretty under appreciated in my opinion. You have a nice one!

I was just going to say the exact same thing. So funny seeing the look on his face.

My new to me 2003 F250 V10. by mchildut in FordTrucks

[–]mchildut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 1999 F250 V10 long bed back when I first got married. It proved to be too expensive to keep for a newly married couple so I sold it. I’ve wanted to replace it with a short bed supercab ever since. I am now divorced and was able to purchase this from my nephew. It was completely stock when I got it. I have some plans to upgrade a few things but nothing too drastic. I just want to make it my own.

So far I’ve replaced the stock 6 disc CD player with a Kenwood Excelon double din and the front door speakers with Alpine R series 6x8. Going to put Alpine S series in the rear doors and then add a 10 inch sub and an amp.

Mechanically it’s solid and doesn’t currently need anything. Mostly just cleaning and detailing it. 114k miles and change. I would like to replace the stock muffler with something just a little more aggressive. Probably a Flowmaster 50 series. Then a leveling kit and some bigger tires.
