Great meeting many of the crew and seeing some of you all again! I appreciate the warm welcome and learning a lot about the club, as well as how these events work. Great times!
I’ll have some more videos and pictures in a bit.
Dropped the price some. Also, wanted to reiterate that this is not a good candidate for daily driving in it's current form. It likely could be, but I've never driven it for more than 70 miles or so at a go.
Been working on the '76 now that the '70 is close to done and driving now. The wife and I will be cruising down to Asheville via the BRP on Memorial Day weekend. New rag joint, TRE's and center link rebuilt this week. Going to be swapping in some...
Update, Had second thoughts on selling the Shady80 and took it off the market for a while. Fixed the transfer case issue. Then reality came back around and it's up for sale again :)
I would plug in to the local club first NC- Olde North State Cruisers - https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/nc-olde-north-state-cruisers.54/ they will have the best intel for anyone local to your area. However, like mentioned above Trollhole and...
The thing with the headgasket work (And I'm not saying its legit, just what it is) when you get that far into things on a 30 year old vehicle, there will be many complicating factors that add to the time required. You will almost certainly break...

It wasn't "this weekend" it was today, but since I'm on leave til next week, its kind of "My Weekend" so just the same.
I finally pulled this damned thing off, so I can replace the cam chain, tensioners, and dampener, and start buttoning this...
We had a long weekend last and decent temps and I spent two days working on Good Times. Between the leaky wipers and seals, and a power steering fluid leak, the front axle was coated with a dense cake of fine sandy dirt and grease. I decided to...
Just a shout out for OTRAMM.
Had a work van that was burning oil and had no idea what was going on. Ryan suggested a BG product to flush and get the piston rings to seal better. I was skeptical of any mechanic in a can fix but after a quick 1...
Finished the tire carrier. I don't think it will fall off. It's nice and tight and rattle free.... for now. Not sure what I'm going to go with on the other side. Any suggestions??
Don't know if I'm going to paint it or just let it get some...
