Wanted to thank everyone as always for such a great time and a great event. Did not get much trail time as the new engine (less than a week old) is running too hot for my liking at trail speeds. But my son and I buzzed around on back roads and practiced driving a stick- which he needs.
I am not a fan of this style of music usually, but this is Crosses.
Chino from the Deftones doing something different. It's good....not the Deftones, but good.
I have absolutely no need for the Downey air cleaner, but my garage wall really wants it. Hit me up with a price.

also- this will be his second time driving stick at all- so I apologize in advance for him stalling it 900 times on the trail.
Should have left the SM420 in it...would have been easier for him.
I rarely post here- but wanted to share how excited my son and I are to be meeting you all at the relic run.
We drove the 40 out to a car show about 45 min away saturday and it did great.
I have been chasing down a ton of little issues with it, but it seems like I am gaining on it at this...
So a friend of mine in Mooresville opened a brewery last week. He is a landcruiser fan and owns two- a 100 series and a really nice smurf blue 40 that he drives the wheels off of.
