I’ll be visiting the Terrain Taner HQ in Melbourne in a month, super excited to see this cruiser in person! I have a soft spot for HJ47s since I had one as my DD for a number of years when my son was born. 😎 Georg @ Valley Hybrids & Terrain...

Thanks for the update Mark. And i understand about being depressed, I work hard manual labor 10 hours a day for a lot less than $40 hr. I try not to think about it too much. 😅 I do hope business picks up, and will call you first with parts...

Hey Mark, I finally had a minute to crawl under the Stout. Looks the same, so I'll take it. Sorry I couldn't respond sooner. I imagine you're not around the shop on the weekend, so I'll call Monday and we can talk about shipping, other parts...

Looks good 👌🏻

Back from the body shop. Turned out better than I expected, primer hides a lot lol. Next step - cab repairs.

Today was the last day for general contractor work on the barn. Water was hooked up, interior walls closed up and electric completed. Landscaping complete as well. The kids got new beds after a short outbreak of stress induced diarrhea. They...

Still working on the bits and pieces, getting closer one by one.

As some of you know we did something special for Bonneville, Family, Friends and Sponsors. This past weekend I was invited to be apart of TOYO Tires Trail pass Event . Toyo tires and there Team have been with up since our ProAm Desert...

Gave @ceylonfj40nut fried rice a go and came out awesome, I'm loving this Blackstone. Washed the wife's Avalon :princess: and the 80, took the Avalon to the shop and put some new tires on it and a alignment. Great deal through tireracks close-out...

Wife filed for divorce fellas…

I didn't feel like making a separate thread for this, but I did want to document an unusual problem with a carburetor. Customer already had the carburetor rebuilt elsewhere, and got a new float in the process. Sent the carburetor to me because...

Unscrew the zerk and the driveshaft will compress just fine. AND you will have exactly the right amount of grease inside the shaft when you’re done! :idea:

No, I'd put a better carb on it.

Thanks Al!

@Michael B i do admire your energy

Had an Amaizing time this weekend at the TOYO Tire Trail Pass Event at Holcomb Valley Ranch in Big Bear Ca, Sponsored by TOYO Tires it was great to visit and support our Sponsors TOYO Tires, Bradley wheels and 4X4 Engineering. From KOH to...

Now’s my chance for a road trip to Alaska I’ve always wanted to do!… with a trailer!

Bob, all of the planning and thinking are done (for the most part), now it’s time to get to work 🤓💪🏻🇺🇸

Old vehicles 😉. 2 steps forward and 3 backwards 🤔🧐😏. That's how it works 😘.

Current status of the GMC.

Ever have one of those weekends? 🫤 Success, but not without a battle. There were several bolts that the cutoff wheel was used on. But it’s done and the frame is ready for blasting and paint.

Well it's probably time to start a thread I suppose. New 42 x 60 steel building at my Dad's for a new shop. I need more space to fit all my tools and keep working on stuff on my free time. Its a frost protected monopour, so only needed to go...

More details.....

Worked on the Sniper efi wiring and ignition stuff today. Used this cool MSD 2 channel relay unit to power the dual electric fans on the radiator. It's looks kind of busy cause this engine bay seemed to fill up fast. Spark plug wires laid in...

Bob I recognize the risks with SO refrigerants. Not much danger to the family, as the unit is in my detached shop. My plan is to refurbish the unit with modern equipment, if possible. Otherwise it may very well turn into a safe 😉
