I’m on the road - with a handful of injector lines for @shanko See all y’all soon!

It's nearly time. I'll roll out with some friends tomorrow.

T-minus… any minute now.

Rolling heavy out of Harlem! On the road after all these months of preparation feels great. 2F power- 24 hour Next stop, California, Kentucky…

Packed and following @shanko 's route on 71W in just 24 more hours. I am palpably excited.

Cleared for takeoff, Hwy 71W Shanko NMHDJ80

Also, I lost one of my nuts along the way. Don’t read into that. A replacement 94184-61001 is on the way.

I finally got an M10 nutsert mandrel, and put a couple of anchors into the B pillar. My moderately redneck tape measure and blue tape measurements were within a 16th of an inch either side. With a new set of rollbar pads from @joekatana we are...

Took a small work trip, 1.5 hours down the interstate then backroads on the way home. On the trip she rolled 560,000kms As for the temps on the trips: Interstate - 70mph, slight tailwind, 78F, 2400rpm Water temp 187F EGT - 800ish...

Here she is…. Time it packer’ down!! Lots of work was done to BIG BETTY so it might be best if @mesa man just posted the list. He did a lot of the work to get us into the San Juans safely. We are always so anxious to get there and then it will...

Why flop off 50 ? Head up engineers pass about mile marker 11 on the lake city side (Golconda Mine complex). There are awesome camping spots right on the creek. 1 of my favorite spots to camp up there. I haven't been up to the mining complex...

Thanks @RevISK- I’m all sorted!

Convinced the boy to learn him some cut off wheel. Put these u bolts on well over a year ago and still couldn’t find the motivation to lop the excess off.

Just missed the roll to this today. Looking back it's been a great 30,000 miles since I got this thing back on its feet 5 years ago

I messaged you @Mesa Woman

Nice. We have no such nice places out here! It's a drag getting anything done, and even worse getting anything done right and with good service. Of interest - in case anyone had seen these and wondered: I recently picked up a valve stem...

@RevISK Bee Cave. I really like Tire Man on Manchaca, but these guys are 1 mile from my place.

The power of the Land Cruiser is strong even at Discount Tire. When I put the mud terrains back on last night, one of the valve stems was shot and it wouldn’t hold air. (Why we have spares, right?) I rolled up to Discount Tire and three workers...

Soft top 74 is almost ready. Put the big shoes on instead of the tall skinnies.

And here we are in 2025. This truck lives outside and the soft top has taken a beating from the Texas sun. The vinyl windows have clouded and I’ve got a tear in the passenger side flap. It’s still my favorite thing I’ve ever done to a cruiser.

Since my dome light wire has long since disappeared down the passenger side B pillar, here’s a shot to remind me in the future that there are two channels… One tubed and one free.

I’m getting the soft top ready for Solid Axle Summit this upcoming week, and I figured it might be a good time after only three years to panel bond the fourth piece of the B pillar and install the rollbar. I have no idea what kind of gunk...

I called Holley customer service/product development and asked them to make a 24 V compatible Retrobright. I’m not sure I’ll get much traction but hey, at least I tried.
