I’m running pretty much a bone stock ‘76. My vapor system is in place, stock & prolly a 47yr old pile of crumbling plastic. 🤣 I think you and others have explained it pretty good, tho. I can fab up a good chunk of replacement tubes, connections and paths, and I think I can dial it in. The truck...

Phenomal info & Mega awesome advice, Brutha! Pershiate ya takin the time to describe your setup. I may take that route once I open everything up. Drove the rig around town all day w no hiccups, but winter is coming so I’m in scramble mode to dial in all the glitches before I’m in “windows up”...

Reviving this, after searching. Truck was sitting for years before recent work. I have fuel smell in the cab, which has always been there since purchase 7yrs ago, but seems worse now. and after having extensive carb work done at Classic Cruisers, truck was running great. I stopped to put gas in...

Hiya All, Gonna chime in with a big ol’ “doing great” report, from over here. A lot to catch up on since I’ve been on here last. Been quite a few years, but after some lengthy periods of issues with the Pig, it’s finally back on the road. It started having big issues a week or two before one of...

I built up a 2wd Westy for home in the Mtns.....fun ride...style points for days, but couldn’t fit enuff in it (kid and our dirtbikes), sadly....it turned into a Black 2wd sprinter that we’ve romped into some less than advisable spots.... 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway......My 55 needs to get wild again.... and I...

Old thread, I know. just gonna chime in with an observation. The 2L motor is obviously causing conflicting reports. The one thing I’ve not seen mentioned here, may be the reason. Altitude. I live above 10,000ft (3050m) in elevation. My close friend with this 2L motor in his imported Landcruiser...

Found a new place to do work on the piggy! I’ll be able to do a bit more here, as opposed to a snowy ice covered driveway! Door seals & fix e-brake next. SOR knuckle kit and hub kit in hand.

Totally! I’m not sayin this is a bad thing, tho! Just trying to keep folks abreast of high elevation conditions that are likely to persist into the early/mid Summer. Reckon that affects a few of us.

That’s just gonna affect high elevation snowpack, like we dealt with at PP17.

Looks like Utah has some significant snowpack as well. This map gives the current snowpack percentages.....anything over 125 could be a stubborn melt off. Fingers crossed for a warm April/May. Not, of course, that we don’t have experience bustin thru said stubborn snow, a la PP17! Lol.

I’ll dig up a snowtel map for Utah to post on the Pig Party thread, too.

Any time you see numbers over 100 in the late winter, your gonna be lookin at a stubborn snowpack in my opinion. That said, a long period of unseasonable warm days in April or May could lessen the effect. I’ve only seen one spring warm enough in 22 years to melt a significantly above average...

Bummer, John! I dig deep pow turns, that’s why I moved here... .....but the older I get, the more I look forward to spring. I reckon springs gonna take its time around these parts this year. My FJ and my dirtbike are pissed! Lol

People are shoveling their roofs off like crazy, up here! Mine just avalanched and almost buried my Pig! Can’t snowblow fast enough, random power outages, and.......worst of all.....I can’t get to the danged Ski Resort!!!! Aaaaarrrrgggghhh!!!!

Central Rockies getting puked on!
