I’m registering…waiting for the password email…looks like a great east coast event. Looks like Glens Falls, NY is the easiest way to cross over to the east? …F’ing Connecticut on Rt 95 has been under construction for the last 46 years.

If it means anything, my 75 F2 block runs between 189 and 194 religiously when warmed up summertime driving. Confirmed all of this with the IR gun and the Holley sniper handheld display if it moves more than 3* in my case it’s unusual. My timing runs at 12° on start up and advances accordingly...

Given the close proximity of the firewall mounted heater control valve and the drip you see, check this “warm pull” action to double check…I discovered a slow but steady drip when that valve was in the closed position on my 40. It did not drip when I pulled that knob for heat…but, it was summer...

Let it be known I did not want another dog after Bella passed and as I had mentioned, our golden retriever was seriously depressed over her loss. Seven months later I caved in and we adopted A black lab…seriously a great dog… she does it all. She is obedient , alert, adaptable and fits in to the...

Wow! 🤩 Count me in !! Great time of year ..color, temperature. We lived in Montgomery… 200 people, 7 bars. Things have changed a little with the development of the ski mountain. I have stories from the middle 1970’s reminiscent of the peace, love and groovy crowd. Swimming holes galore...

@OlYellr I see a ton of calendar style photos here…. Great job… has to be a great memorable moment. Just so refreshing. I would love to see this someday compared to THIS , which was last night on the way to the jersey shore beaches an about 5:30pm.. This is my life…UGH!

So you’re keeping it in and keeping it out at the same time?

So here is an update regarding shipping: FASTENAL a/k/a Blue Lane Freight This process was new to me. Most of my shipping has been UPS kinda stuff. Buyer arranged BlueLaneFreight shipping. They send you a confirmation…I call to arrange a drop-off appointment and show up at their local...

@bernardbar3 looks like one of the priciest Land Cruisers I have ever seen ! 😉 What does that $624,000 translate into? I often think about how many vehicles are in the world stacking pages and pages of documents sitting in files across world governments and what it may take to locate a set of...

This is when music had depth… damn, I was a junior in high school 1968. Fantastic times EDIT: I had forgotten about these shows. Saw one in 2010 and just went to YouTube to watch at least a dozen performances of the 2023 series… intense!

Like @1911 , recently have 3.70 diffs in my ‘75 FJ40 and spent a few days last week testing and pushing a few limits…easily could cruise at 85..but I don’t really need to… I’m around 20% change…gets a bit squirrelly at this speed

I heard output shaft is different…

Thru a series of events, the buyer of my transmission/transfer case discovered he can not directly swap this into his 1970’s FJ40. He was going to buy it anyway to re-sell honoring his decision to acquire the unit. I am not …nor is he the kind to play one way or the other SO….the 1983 60...

Wow…that is some good math…I run almost the same numbers. I need to look into this more…thank you @GA Architect

Same for me..3.70 and 31’s. I am about 17% off and I do use that iPhone speedometer. But, when I don’t have it, I’m speeding thru spots where they now have signs…SPEED ENFORCEMENT ZONE. MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE REQUIRED. I do a bunch of mental calculations but, I rather enjoy the ride…😂
