    Carolina Relic Run 2024

    Andy, Driving in from the north would allow you to have a route mostly on interstates while also staying out of Charlotte traffic. I hope you can make it.

    The Knitting Circle

    Red Hills activities are typically in the south GA (Albany-Thomasville) / FL Panhandle region so they might be a bit of a drive, but they are the only TLCA chapter in the state. If you are interested in just connecting with local Cruiser heads, the YOTA crew might be an option too...

    Carolin Relic Run this weekend?

    Just got back. As always, a lot of fun with a great group. It was my understanding that they had +150 pre-registered with many more at the event. Hope you can make it next year.

    HZJ73 fan blower switch replacement

    I do not recall finding any aftermarket options for the resistor, but I also do not recall looking either. With the info provided by AirheadNut, I would suggest removing the resistor first to visually inspect it. My experience was the wire resistor coils break (burn out) and can readily be...

    HZJ73 fan blower switch replacement

    Based on what I have encountered with my 70, your description indicates that the resistor is partially burned out. The last time I needed one some years ago, they were available but had to be ordered. As Coldtaco already mentioned, the resistor is close to the fan motor and relatively easy...

    Happy Tuesday from NC

    Inaugural year too. Few even recall the 2 years of TMC and even fewer attended. Congratulations

    2024 Lone Star Land Cruiser Roundup

    Thanks for letting me tag along with this team. Great company / spotting / camaraderie ... It was certainly a pleasure to get to know you and wheel with you. Looking forward to next year already.

    Cottonland Picture of the Day Thread

    It better. We designed it to crush all takers. Reports back from Langley indicated that an entire F-18 squadron out of Oceana attempted to bushwhack a single 22 in the spirit of service rivalry, only to be crushed.

    1KZ-TE ENGINE REBUILD

    An additional consideration is experience/expertise with Toyota diesels ... not just price. Expertise needs to include the machine shop, not just the mechanic. The machine shop needs to have expertise in diesel engines and the associated tighter tolerances/nuances inherent in machining for a...

    FJ60 header installation in Atlanta, GA

    Waiting until June for the next opening with Peter & Max is a long wait, but you would have complete confidence during the wait that the header install would be completed with exacting care by Peter. Good luck in finding a solution that you are comfortable with.

    FJ60 header installation in Atlanta, GA

    Have you checked with Cole at OTM? I expect that OTM has a month (minimum) backlog too. The drive to Birmingham seems almost short to us since we are there regularly; your perspective might differ. FYI While visiting my daughter a few weeks back, I was able to make time to stop by and see...

    We need a 2024 local meetup (Atlanta and surrounding area)

    Interesting idea. I am headed to RoundUp in a week. With it being close to 1000 miles each way, I will be adding a few stops (i.e., days) to drive so it will block out the weekends of the 9th/10th and 16th/17th. Looking further ahead... the Relic Run is 17-21April which is likely to be a...

    We're NOT on Discord anymore

    Thanks for adding to the humor via irony. Work was high tech (aerospace/defense) and our IT org retired Slack/Skype for the corporation since it could not support the needs going forward. I can't place the name of the new tool, but it certainly smelled the same as Skype/Slack at the core.
