Making our way to some pie… 🤤 and a briefcase! 🧐

And we’re off!

Mesa Man and I are heading to Pie Town, NM today to meet @Honger in his 40 with his 9yo daughter! Briefcase hand-off after PIE!! 😃 Wish we could put a pie in the case for the next person… hahaha… we’ll find a sticker!! The case is moving...

Taking a que from @Aloha Jen a few months ago - I stopped by Autozone yesterday and picked up a Blazer International B95 4" stop/turn/tail light kit. Being that I wired a trailer plug into my rear harness, this was a very simple 3rd Bake Light...

You might want to check with General Dynamics, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation.

I may have a recently refurbished 2F distributor available. I converted it to Toyota electronic ignition (using '81-'87 internals) and added a new aftermarket vacuum advancer. I also have good used '78 2F and '81/'82 Tercel igniters that will fit...

Thanks for the nice comments on the rack. I got it all together in time to make the trip to Moab. I drove it there and back without any issues. It will handle 80 on the Highway just fine although it sounds like I am driving through a...

Finals? If so, good luck!

3FE+ 5 speed is the best driving old truck combo. You know this.

FYI... baton will be getting passed on to @Mesa Woman and @mesa man in less than two weeks... April 26/27. We are meeting up in the Escudilla Wilderness for a brief camp, some hiking, and of course a handoff of the briefcase/baton. Anyone else...

Rite of Passage Part 2-The Crucible It wasn’t long after I demonstrated that I could produce a piece of jewelry to my father that my grandfather decided it was HIS turn to school me in old-school jewelry-making. He had my father melt a lump of...

So, I realized once I started poking around the forum to find some stories to share with Dan @mtn biker in advance of the first podcast, that my stories are so spread out that they are not necessarily easy for me to find…and I know what I’m...

Well, you've got the right degree for that.

I wasn’t a fan of the HMF logo cut into the rack which got me thinking it would be cooler if I had my own brand of sorts. After playing with some ideas I came up with a TEQ inspired version of TMT (The Milk Truck). I reached out to @bluehawk...

I never would have found it. I had an old gray hair exotic car mechanic come over just now. The wiper motor I installed as a new "good" used one was internally faulted. The contact points that allow the intermittent feature within the motor...

In the meantime, I have been very busy juggling three different construction projects simultaneously. In yet another amazing piece of karma, the time and energy that remain for running Mark’s Off Road now seems to be perfectly matched to the...

How's the trip going so far? I hope you're enjoying the sights along the way.

With the 3-speed transfer case on the back of a pre-'81 4-speed, you can continue to support the transmission/transfer case directly from the bellhousing without the need for the '81 and later rear transfer case support crossmember.

This is as close as it got immediately after a couple of hand-offs in Canyon de Chelly: On the road to the arch hike Ninth longest span in the US Fall colors in Canyon del Muerto

Would love to see the briefcase on the four corners

It might be worth holding off a trip across the mountains down here for a few days, here's what the FJ60 looked like this morning when I woke up:

Grab that guy, put a red hot piece of rebar up his ass until he talks.

@CenTXFJ60 Good luck with your new venture. Hope you get a lot of customers…BUT… hope Maureen & I aren’t one of them.😱😁😱

I am checking my schedule and talking to @Mesa Woman about hers as well so she can join in on this possible rendezvous. I do need to get my shorty forty out, it’s been over a year! Then we could take it up to SAS8 for a handoff! Maybe late April...

Just found this thread. If one could be at SAS, I could take it and check off the Bad Lands of South Dakota, etc. I'm good for East side of Rocky Mountains, Some NE sites too - Carginge etc. Willing to take it to MN, IA, MO and hand off. Know...
