Day 1 of a 10 day trip from Alabama through southern Louisiana for field work. First day was about 450 miles. Photo is at the Mississippi rest area on I-10. Pulling the 5x10 trailer with an ATV my mileage is a solid 10 mpg, the in-cab vacuum...
I somehow ended up with a 2011 Swap Meet tshirt from the PMC group... 2xl size, seems unworn, one small stain/blemish as seen on the back below 'Mountain'
Who wants it? Free to a good home,
Another 2 years of goodness! Passed smog again . Changed oil , lubed and getting ready for wheeling season.. Stopped by my buddy’s to see his new project(little brother 😂)
Visited the old girl at the doctor's, where she's undergoing a heart transplant. Major props to all of you DIYers who pull this off. I have neither the confidence nor time, so I went the professional route.
Either way, just seeing her got...
I’ll get back to old work later. I mentioned the future in the last post…
So the bearings didn’t thrill me. It’s a 2F though, they seem to want to keep running despite all odds against them. But I also recently did a compression test. Top dry...
Argentine Pass action shot. Post-stripes, pre-PIAAs. A lot steeper than it looked coming out of the creek. A 70 Series fire truck had to be winched outta there.

4 years ago yesterday I got the Red Rocket! It's been thru a ton since then, truly a massive part of my life. Met all of you amazing people (some in person some not) because of this car, really haven't had a bad interaction because of it. Wrote...
Been awhile, but there have been some big things happening.
First, my Valley Hybrids rebuilt transmission broke a tooth after 20K. I mentioned it was making noise in neutral since day one pages ago. Tell tale sign of a bad input shaft bearing...
and me personally worked with Nolen for four trucks now and both ends are happy.
I may provide something higher than the market but i am confident with my way of build and my truck chooses.
my plan to send more to usa, more 40s more 80s and a...
For anyone who has never seen these up close, by far the heaviest leaf pack Toyota ever put in a Cruiser!
They weigh over 100lbs each! Stiff as a brick. Rated for over a ton easy, I call them the “camel leaf pack”, thing is you would have to...
