Fly out and drive it back. I did that with my most recent 80. Flew to LA and drove it back to Cedar Rapids. Slept in it. It was a blast!

Damn. Haven’t been on Mud in a while. This is gut wrenching. I can’t count the number of times he talked me off the ledge when I was panicking about something simple or trivial. Never got the pleasure of meeting him in person but that never stopped him from giving me his time to help me out...

The 800# should be able to help with stuff we don’t carry in store. I can check the exact process tomorrow and see what it says. I don’t deal with the retail side of things so much but find out easy enough.

Downtime isn’t a big deal so much as the time to get to do it. I’ll just pull them and send them off to witch hunter. She’s got 290k on her. She’s due.

What doughboy said... A dealer has a store. The FJC was not $100k (at least I hope it wasn’t...)

My son’s #1 injector is leaking causing loss of fuel pressure when sitting which is causing long cranking times to start. I have had little time to deal with this. Do I bite the bullet on time and pull all of them and send them off to WitchHunter? Or is it possible to pull only the #1 and...

I wouldn't take anything for granted. If you purchase a new vehicle and get in an accident 3 months down the road the insurance company is going to try to give you "market value" which is not what you would have paid for it. Stick to your guns. Make sure you are made whole.

just remember, you do not have to accept any offer from his insurance company. keep fighting. keep demanding more. your are the one that has been inconvenienced and harmed by him. At minimum you should get full value plus his first born.

Our fancy Fiesta rental... Tantallon Castle. Pretty sweet. Well fitted 80 from Switzerland, I believe. Left him a note on the door.

I’m alive! Been working! Thanks for checking on me. In keeping with the “tech” of this thread... Here is an 80 Series we just saw in Scotland at Tantallon Castle. Spur of the moment trip to go visit my daughter for the weekend.

A 41 year design flaw... 🙄 The head gasket failure is not related to asbestos ban. It is two materials that have a different coefficient of expansion (aluminum head and iron block). Talk about design flaw...

Full disclosure: I don’t know much about newer vehicles (my DD is a 1993 80 Series...) My brothers 2004 sequoia died while driving. And won’t start. Cranks but won’t pop. He dumped all of his coolant two weeks ago. Had the radiator (which had blown a hole) replaced and hoses. Said that he is...

Proceeds are going in to the 7x Series fund account for when she grenades! Rattle cans are cheap...

Correct. Granted my armor cost more than my rig... 😜 All money spent on Land Cruisers is money well spent!

Passenger side gap Driver side no gap touching the body. No body, lower tailgate, upper hatch, or tail light damaged. If you zoom in you can see where she smacked the corner of the bumper. shout out to @TRAIL TAILOR for protecting my ugly ass rig!
