Wanted: Valve cover stud
Looking for a valve cover stud for an F engine for my brother. He had one stud snap while removing the valve cover which hadn't been off in decades.
Wish I could go. Snow, mud, rocks all sound hella fun. All of my weekends have been booked since April, and don't free up till July. Ugh. Take lots of pics. Looks epic.

@RedBean I'm in the market for an 80 series if you really want to get rid of it.
But like @pigmony suggested, I'd recommend towing it home somehow to give yourself time to run all the options. Most of us with old rigs have learned to wrench when our junk breaks, and it never breaks at a good time.
Got an OE style gasket instead of the Remflex this time. Vacuum is back to normal. Gotta say that shipping from @cruiseroutfit is top notch. Whoever packaged this gasket knew that it couldn't be bent. Arrived in a perfectly flat condition.
Damage report
Our Cruise Moab trip did generate a short repair list. The Top of the World trail is much more dug out this year on the second waterfall and upper steps. There is a new bypass on the upper waterfall, but we decided to give it a try. Cost us a hubcap and a few clips. The Prospector...
Go play outside.
A few shots from Cruise Moab's first annual 40s Only Run. 24 rigs. 47 people. We wandered out on 3D and came back via Long Canyon. Great bunch of folks to run around the Utah desert with. So grateful to enjoy it with the Prospector.
