I'm a huge B-series diesel fan myself. I've looked into Cummings, Isuzu 4BDT, etc. Keep going back to 3B for numerous reasons. Especially that it is one of the ONLY ones that redlines higher than the 2F motor! The 3B is a commercial workhorse and considered to be a better motor than the H diesels (it generally outlasts the H and has sleeved pistons, piston skirt cooling, etc). I keep saying that I'll get one instead of rebuilding my 2F...I just need you guys to help me wear this 2F out....
Mike

Let me drive it for a month. I can break things that others think are unbreakable. I once broke a Ball bearing with a rubber mallet.

Take advantage of your membership with free labor and help at wrenching sessions, parts discounts (%20 O-Reilly is in the works), and we always represent ourselves accordingly with a well prepared cajun meal at group events and family events. In other words "Free Meal" not exactly but its your membership & sponsorship dollars at work.
Next "Free Meal" will be at the Southern Cruiser Crawl next weekend. On the menu is Corey Futch's famous Jambalaya, its good, just ask the people of Hammond that gobbled up the leftovers at this years Expo. We'll also bring some boudin or what Texan's call spicy wheenies.
Enjoy your weekend.

Some, but mostly this is a hunting web site and we've been passing the time talking Cruisers while waiting for you to report in with your adventures. Oh, everyone seems to like duck roll ups. Futch is on the board with some tasty rolled teal. Want to challenge him at the next wrenching session?

Not yet, but let's hook'em in. "Socks" is our lone 4-Runner owner right now. We need more Taco's, PU's, 4-Runners, FJ's hell I'd like to see them all join us. We maybe to old for those guys to wanna hangout with  I'm going to try and get the B&M crowd out there at Sicily in Nov to get their feet wet. We just need to do some policing so it don't get wreckless I wouldn't want those kinda folks to get us banned from using the property.

Sleds for crossing deep ravines. They have one in the front and one in the back. I need the DVD of that trip.

i thought those contraptions were to catch the cruisers if they accidentally encounter a crack in the glaciers so they will not fall in?

Exactly, they would use the sled to hold the truck up when the tires fell in the crack when the front would come out a back sled would catch the rear they crossed some pretty intense cracks with those sleds. I can't find a pic of them doing it.

The video is $14~19 (has the trucks on cover)....of course, you might see a BL Video at the Crawl....you can record it on the 26th if you have the SCI channel...
I'd like the whole collection myself...as each show was great...
BTW, here's a complete episode of Million Dollar Motors for you (well it's over 45 min.)
