Baaaaaaah. I checked in too late...............

I would have had it with the wheels.............dead giveaway.

Very cool Phil, now you'll have to get us all hooked on Patrols..............or check into a different forum RMP&O before I out you over there.

Cruiser chick must love it......it runs.

I know, you're thinking I'm thinking of cornering another market, but I guess in the Patrol crowd it is quite normal (expected I gather) to have a parts rig or two...flame suit on

First Flame------How long were you in the HOTTUB before making this purchase? Bring it on over and we'll do a spring flop on it and some 35" tires. John#3

Yeah, fight's on...or shall I say "positioning"...She's kinda funny that way

Daughter was not impressed as she was brainwashed early on...

zebrabeefj40 · 06-06-06, 10:05 AM

My brother is looking for one of those. Let me know when you come to your senses and wanna sell the Patrol.

Nice truck!

Land Cruiser Junky · 06-06-06, 11:16 PM

Hot damn Phil, nice buy! I drove a Patrol all through High School. If I wasn't into Cruisers, it would be Patrols. Mine looked exactly like this one. Congrats.

Clean Patrol...worthy resto. Congrats on the find. You should look up Vern in Billings, he has something like 5 Patrols now including a big huge stash of parts he got from me last fall. Although it doesn't look like you are missing much. Those glass tail lights are one of the hardest parts to come by. That and the glass dash map light cover.

Here is Vern's website, you can email him via it. http://www.tintfactory.com/

I was up your way few years back, picked up my dog in Stevensville. He is Japanese too, a Shiba Inu black & tan.

If you get a chance post pics of your Patrol on my forum....we all love seeing pics of Patrols. 63 is a rare year of Patrol too, the older the Patrol the more rare in the USA.

foxfab · 06-23-06, 01:23 PM

Today was bring your 25 to work day. Did ya miss it?

Cruiser_Nerd · 06-23-06, 01:52 PM

Forecast of occasional torrential downpours, hail and dangerous lightning put me off from driving the topless rig. OK I'm a

Besides, one 25 at this workplace is about all we can handle.

foxfab · 06-24-06, 07:31 AM

yep, my right arm hurts this morning from operating the drivers side hand actuated vacuume wiper.

But, I was driving faster than other cars. Pathetic that a 25 could pass a new car in the rain on the highway.

Yep, I missed it, too. (Gas tank still out being repaired.

)

Cruiser_Nerd · 07-07-06, 02:33 PM

Oh sure, I cripple myself for a few days by lifting two or three too many kids in the pool..............................and this place shuts down????

I haven't even gotten my TT yet to see Steve's effort in print.

Oh, it's OK...he pretty much blabbed on ond on about operational 25s, not my bag.....

No, a fine job...demand will no doubt increase...Hmm, is that why Fox is on the hunt?

foxfab · 07-07-06, 07:34 PM

Its probably too far from me anyway.

But if not, I technically only own one complete 25 and the rusted out remains of another.

Just remember, I'm now a not so proud member of the Flintstones crowd

Great job on the article Steve. But I do wish some other pics of 25's made it.

Laugh........ouch.......laugh...........ouch...... ....

I have noticed we've had a recent upswing in visitors and lurkers here in this strange little backwater of Mud.

And Mike, you need more 25's............I don't know if you've really got the hang of this yet..............

Thanks, Mike. But, I thought you told me to scrap everyone else's pics of their 25s and only submit yours.

Cruiser_Nerd · 07-11-06, 07:47 PM

Somebody must have stole my TT to cut and paste my photos in for me.

I wonder if John #1 ever got his renewal..........worrying about preserving his low TLCA number...............

I think we need to petition Todd to completely redo that issue and put back in all those great shots!!

Who'd ever thought a gas tank urinal would get top photo billing??

John
