    Last weekend we hauled it up to Idaho, and snuck it into a car show with cars that are actually really nice lol. We threw my 83 Yamaha XT 250 in the back, and the combo got some smiles. First time George has been back to Idaho since we brought him home in 2019. I look forward to the day that I...

    Final cosmetic update - The passenger fender had a pretty decent dent in it, and the badge was cracked in half. Some jackwagon pulled it off, and it looked really sad. I had my dent guy that I use through the Dealership pop it out, and I replaced the badge with a decent one I got on FleaBay...

    Super pumped with it. Radio sounds fantastic, and it's so fun listening to my tapes. I have a few hundred, so it's about time I get to run them elsewhere, instead of just through my WalkMan. As you can tell, the dash is destroyed from the previous owner. Fits fine, but it isn't perfect. No...

    A looong time ago, a friend sent me a mid 80's Toyota radio/cassette player, and I finally got around to installing it! I had to send it to a friend out in California to fix it, so it would play tapes again. When I took the dash bezel out, it practically disintegrated in my hands. New ones are...

    It's about time for a George update! Been a wild year with this old truck. Where to begin? First off, George got to take his first trip on a tow truck a few months ago lol. Igniter died. I threw a fuel pump, coil, and fuel filter at it on the side of the road. Nada. Amazon Igniter is doing the...

    George is BACK baby. Running stronger than ever. He's been enjoying all of this snow we've been getting lately, and my Cruiser has been enjoying the reprieve from the salty roads.

    And if you have a keen eye, you'll spot the new front mud flaps in the last picture. I picked these up on Fleabay, and were pretty rough. Wayyy overpriced. But they're here, and have no severe tears in them. So I figured they were worth it. Maybe? Because they have overspray on them, they...

    Regular camping season is winding down in the Cruiser, so focus returns to the olll' s***box George! Honestly though, he's been down for a couple of months with a blown rear brake wheel cylinder. But he's back baby! We replaced the wheel cylinders on both sides, as well as the shoes and bell...

    I used a small buffer, but with a little elbow grease it could definitely be done by hand.

    Last weekend we took some of our new friends out for a rip, and seeing Carlo's gorgeous 81 really made me George jealous lol. I've been hyper focused on the 62, and haven't given the old guy any love lately. I'm hunting for a better bed/tailgate, and have a few leads. I'd really love to get him...

    No new updates! Still doing daily driver tasks, and running like a champ!

    Took George on a mini adventure last week! Let's face it, every time I take this truck anywhere, it's an adventure in and of itself. Spare tire in the bed is super snug. Low-res iPhone picture my buddy snagged. Besides the clapped out springs, the farm truck did great on these little...

    Pretty decent little setup! It does require something to bolt to on the top. You might have to get creative to make it work with a 4Runner.

    Figured it out! I spun the tire, ran the bolt through a lug hole, and into the lower nut. Feels stout! I'll see how it does driving around. Any reason why the lug hole would be a bad spot?

    Totally nailed it, this is exactly what's happening. I'll report back on how I fix it!
