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...
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...
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...
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
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.

Yes, you do bring great shame to both your name and those of your offspring.
However, you can also bring great honour to your house for generations to come by relighting the signal fires and seeking riders to chase the setting sun west.

And prior to my entry it had last been signed in 2018... and I signed in 2021... to my great shame it's been with me for almost three years. It needs to move on. Perhaps I should start a Travelogue Part Thrice and spur this into...
