Half Wacked aka Split Pea

Well as I feared the fella cleaning the tank wasn’t physically capable of lifting and turning it. Went to pick it up and we had good chat to what I needed to do. He installed plug in the very corner to help drain, which didn’t make sense until...

Pighead made a good suggestion, as well. dDrink more before posting. I have long used that strategy!!!

You need to drink more before posting. That way: 1) you don't care what you post. B) you don't remember what you posted. Works for me. YMMV

a little update. had a little fall, spent a week in Hospital, a few broken ribs, yada, yada, yada. Home now getting better, off the oxy, feeling stronger everyday , a ways to go. Stay off Ladders after 70!

Love that tag!

Is what I'm running. Might be 3 years old, don't use it a lot but no problem so far.

I believe the switch from R-12 to R-134a began in the late 1980s early 1990s. Look for R-12 to R-134a adapter fittings "45° to O-ring" and then you could replace all the hoses with newer barrier hose and fittings but unless you're updating your...

Not sure if threads can be merged. But just gonna post some paint porn from Clyde I just got. Dang it’s been slow, I’m told shooting for oct. 4th or so to pick up. Says tailgate was kinda a biatch to put back together, which inside I said yeah...

If your case cracked, there’s a fair chance that it did so because the gears put undue stress on it from wear. You should disassemble your case and do a thorough inspection of all the parts, paying particular attention to the hole inside the...

heating and air on seats, center console and door arm rests

went with this, my eyes going in and out of focus

Then, it got dark and I thought I'd see what the reverse lights looked like with the front rocklights on. You'll recall that I recently wired the reverse lights to a dash switch after not having reverse lights at all for about 20 years. Think I...

Took the Pig for a drive up to Robbs Resort for the annual Cantina for the 'Con. Avoided the freeway and took the back way in thru Georgetown. Pleasant place to spend a 4x4 weekend for a good cause with good people. 55 miles with 3000 foot...

#2 #3 And flip a coin

That's a much stronger showing of pigs than last year! Good to see one take home some hardware. I didn't make it this year but already regret not going.

You might wanna consider a new trpphe case for when Ornch starts making appearances. :)

Very nice 55, We had a relaxing day with everyone

Pulled the hood latch pin today, thought I’d just take some pics and make a post since this little PITA has popped up in a few posts in the past. The spring seat doubles as the jam nut, as there is a captured nut that the pin threads into. I took...

More photos: It's been repainted but supposedly in a factory color. I haven't searched in depth but found one reference to color 276 being Bronze Olive. Factory Aisin seat foam retainers: The seat support was not good, so my quick fix...
