New felts, lads. I can categorically say that all new felts makes those thar windas snug as a bug and rattle free.

Yep. It’s on the list.

Felts are so old school. Chew/snuff can would be perfect.

No, I don’t chew. Can’t. Did it once about 7000 years ago. Threw everything up.

I've got those on the way with new weatherstripping for the doors, but this will do nicely until I get up the gumption to tear the doors apart to install them.

Genius! That's the one noise mine makes that drives me absolutely insane (somehow worse than all the other noises it makes)

My 45 Rucksack-Ferrari makes the same noise window down only on the driver side since I bought the can.
Think Mr.Toyota did it so that I don`t fall asleep. ... great conception by the Japanese.
The Lady on the bench seat fell often asleep during I drive the can.

Best window concept ever....
...you can`t open the rear windows normally they switched a front window to the rear doors.

...damn I sold my 2CV.

Met a nice black Traction Avant yesterday Gangster limousine

Throughout mainland Europe, the Traction became a favourite of gangsters, earning itself the nickname of the 'Gangster limousine'

The little details @Racer65 lets us bring back

The Goat got a little sun today and a short drive to keep it happy.

Looking at the date of my last post, the Goat set up for 16 days. I got it going today but it needed a little shot of starting fluid.

I loaded it down to the gills with limbs and sticks after dragging out over 40 trees with my tractor.

After all that I hooked up the Goat Tail and pulled the boats off the lake.

I’m whipped

Cozy morning in the upper 40s. I cleared out the remaining sticks from yesterday and had a nice little fire.

Looks cute, but a bit short for me thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of 60”-72”.

I built it just for fun.

I have M416 which is my primary camp trailer.

That said since I built the 40 tub trailer I find myself using it a lot. It’s quick and easy to use.

Took the Goat on a nice long drive yesterday to the CottonLand meeting.

The ole Goat easily and loudly cruised 55-60 most of the way with only one speed run to pass @under_psi to 75mph. The F135 is humming at that speed.

My lights went out going down there. With the help of Rob we determined my fuse box is loose at that circuit so I’ll have to replace it and polish up the contacts.

Other than that I’ll take it. Great truck.

How much “earl” goes in this contraption?

My buddy @FJ60Cam and Mosley Motors is offering a great service to rehab OEM alternators.

$150 without core. $100 with core.

The Goat alternator was the last accessory that I had not worked over so I took advantage of a hand delivery to the Swine Soirée and grabbed one for the Goat and the Warthog 55


I’ll have him do this one and have a spare or one ready for my next project.

If you have an old alternator send it .....
