I have been missing my cruiser during the past 4 months in Oklahoma, but it will be much cooler in WV when I get back. Heres a film shot from somewhere in Mississippi...

I had a pretty strong fuel smell the other day and found a broken hose clamp on the filler neck, I replaced it, and now I am back to the normal fuel smell!!!

Mine is on the road now. Beautiful pictures. I was stationed at Bitburg in the early 90's.

I have not posted in a while, I have been busy flying, working on my house, and driving a van across the rockys. My dad found a hell of a deal on a 1995 Sportvan, so I fixed it up and took it camping check it out here --> SPORTVANMAN <-- The cruiser is still running strong although I have neglected it just a little. I have been nursing this new but also bad radiator. I have been dreading the shipping back to Cali even if they cover it under the lifetime warranty. If anyone has had a similar experience with Champion radiators let me know??
I also recently found that my New taillights are so rusted out that only 1 screw is left....
Hopefully I can get a decent garage built soon, so I can really get some work done!

My replacement/upgrade Champion radiator arrived this week, along with 4 new tires. I am selling my old S10, so I am swapping the current tires over as they are getting close to warn out.
When I sent my leaking Champion radiator back, it was out of stock, so I paid the difference to upgrade from the 2-row to the 3-row.
I haven't really had cooling issues, just leaking issues, but I figured it would be worth it to upgrade and it saved time.
Also, after years of trying to resist buying a new Tacoma, i finally caved and got a new one, and of course I had to put a fresh TLCA sticker on it!

I was beginning to think maybe you had abandoned that poor old 40 with all the miles you have been putting on that van!

I've just been busy & putting off the whole radiator situation. Hopefully this new one will last a lot longer & I'll be able to drive it a little more.

Made use of some older parts lying around....
Don't worry, that shift knob is threaded on, so it can be removed for the right price

GUYS, I Finally have a garage!!!!!
I have been very busy lately traveling for work, but I have been meaning to post a few shots of the new garage for my cruiser! I am so excited, it will be nice to get a few things done (And take my time!!)
My dad got me a lift for my birthday, so we drove a few hours up the road to pick it up, I am still recovering from some back issues but I am hoping to install it soon!!! I will get a ton of use out of it for sure!
Here's a shot from the move in phase, stained a few old work benches and moved in some old tool boxes to fill the back wall!
A few years ago my dad also work helped out a neighbor and worked a deal for this compressor as well. It had never been used, it had never even had oil put in it.
And Last but not least, I plugged in my old beer fridge!!!!!!!!!
