@theglobb got me motivated to finally get my troopy back together. Still a couple more things to wrap up but she's running well. Had a minor hiccup with a loose radiator hose but everything seems good now. Bummed I missed bringing it out to Cruiserfest, but better late than never.

Helped @theglobb remove his LSPV. Turned out to be a bit of a job. Pictured are a few attempts at making a plug for the union. My Troopy is finally back on its wheels and rolled out of the garage. Just waiting on a few more parts and then it should be back on the road.

Hi everyone! We were sad to miss this year’s event but we are wondering if anyone leaving SAS will be coming through Moab in the next few days. We are stuck downtown Moab with our 1997 LX450. It needs a new break booster. Let us know if you are coming through and could help!

Added OEM steel wheels and some new rubber. Went with 235/85r16 after much deliberation. Really happy with how it turned out. Made a little progress on the cooling system.

Picked up a new daily for the wife.

After deciding to keep the troopy, I started getting stuck into some projects I've been meaning to do. Removed the AC system to make some space and gain access to other maintenance items. Next project is to drop the oil pan and dismantle the birfs for a rebuild.

I decided to take it off the market and keep it. I haven't figured out how to unlist on Mud without just listing it as sold.

Lost the fuel tank cap for my LRA filler. Found this generic one from Autozone. Fits well if the knob is turned horizontally. SKU number: 1102309
