If anybody wondered what a stripped 1fz cylinder head weighs! Heading to the scrap yard due to a nice crack. Too bad it wasn’t caught until after it was machined!

Get the frame checked other than that hopefully someone near you is parting one out, and you want another radiator support it will be bent..

Dynamat makes a product that looks real close to the factory fender liners it comes in a roll with adhesive back, search engine compartment liner..

When you get it together check voltage at the key and the excite wire to the starter, had one recently that was only getting 9v back to the starter, somewhere between the under hood fuse block and the key switch it was loosing voltage, (owner...

Had a blast! So good to meet and hang with everyone on the Wagon Run. And wow, thanks for documenting the event Monching. It's only been a few weeks, but great to look back on. If y'all are ever on the Eastside or heading into Death Valley, drop...

Thank you thank you thank you, always love your pic, you capture people and the moment wonderfully, enjoyed everyone was great, I’ll see you all next year…

More to share as a recap. Part 5 (cont) - it's the camaraderie, building new networks, meeting old & new friends, cooperation, mutual help, and sharing a common passion - these are the values that makes Rubithon not just a tradition but an...

You trust LCH enough to hand them $19k? You wouldn’t if you knew what I know. A donor is the cheapest and easiest way to do the swap for a DIY guy. Cheers

Just got home after staying an extra week... Kudos to Jeff and his team. While there is certainly room for improvement, I think everyone did a great job considering it was their 1st year. I want to acknowledge Patrick... Jeff's right hand...

I will forever think of the East coast boys as Sprinkles and Cupcake now . :rofl:

I missed the first time, but I'll get you one day.

My Rubithon 2025 scorecard: 17 days away from home. 6180 miles driven from driveway to driveway towing an M416 with my 1997 LX450. She drank an additional 2 quarts of oil for the round trip. I can live with that. Damage: Scratched the...

That's a tough crowd...:hillbilly:

A few of the wagon run when we were chilling at camp on Thursday.

Thanks everyone. It was a good run (only exception being breakage by Guy in his 4-3-2 Runner) when I get a chance I will post some photos. Quick turnaround and at the river with bad WiFi. Though all the 80’s sorta look the same and I can’t tell...

5985 miles round trip towing.

Buck Island didn't suck.

Other than the dust, it was a good time. Truck never really struggled with anything. Hats off to the organizers, trail leaders, and everyone else involved. Luckily, I found some Meguire's leather wipes at Walmart in Salt Lake. That was a close...

What an honor for Sarah and I to attend. We loved every minute.

Didn’t get to come over and say Hi, I tried but you two were popular …. We were all very glad you and Sarah made the trip, Still remember Sarah smiling like it was just another day, when we all woke up in a foot of snow wet in Moab in 2007...

You and John were great, wheel with you guys anytime anywhere, John’s jokes and your responses really lightened things up, really glad you both came, we know it’s a long trip and greatly appreciate both of you..

Thank you again to everyone for making this a great trip, everyone working together made it great. Enjoyed the week with everyone and hope to see all of you again on a trail somewhere. Ray

There is an area behind the caretaker’s house close to the grass, it makes it easier for them to be close to the center, basically the organizers and people working the event are all in a small area, close to make it easier, it works well...

It was an expensive trophy (I upgraded to RCV’s).

I think we found a new helper, he has to pay for his error….lol
