BAZINGA!

It's a good thing it's removable. Charles can take it off to use it as a work truck and replace it before winter to keep those deep Georgia snows out of the bed...

well then you won't like what i have to say ...
the rims look okay, better than the white.
but
now the tarp looks out of place. too fancy for a work truck.

Doesn't matter at this point. Both Cruisers are now for sale. Going to buy a new 4Runner and use the rest of the proceeds for college.

 

[cruiserdan]

WHAT?

 

[Gun Runner 5]

To quote an old parts guy from New Mexico ....... BAZINGA!

 

[cruiserdan]

You a funny man.....

You a funny man.....

I don't particularly like the new 4Runner and I told my daughter that college is overrated.

Life is full of choices.......
Do I open that second 6 pack or not?
Do I eat that third slice of pizza or not?
Do I tell my wife she looks a little heavy in that dress or not?
Do I change rims on my Cruiser or not?
Do I leave on the canvas top or not?
Obviously I have a lot the think about.
In all seriousness, assuming I can find somewhere to store something as bulky as a canvas (and metal) canopy, I do plan to remove the top, if only for a brief period, to see what it would look like without the canopy.
Stay tuned ......

That right there is worth repeating.

That right there is worth repeating.

I meant it in a very respectful way.

I stopped by the shop today and although I don't know squat about Diesel engines, I do no this sucker is a WHOLE LOT bigger than the one on my 2H or 13B-T.

Although there are probably multiple manufactures and part numbers that will work, this was my solution to a blown brake light bulb. (24V BJ74). ATTACH=full]1099034[/ATTACH]

Grabbed a box of turn signal bulbs. (24V)

 

[crushers]

toyota - $5 each
aftermarket in a box $1 each ... of course trying to find 24V bulbs can be interesting for the newbies ...

Heavy truck and farm equipment dealers are your friends.

$6 for 10

What's with the grease that was smeared on the base of several bulbs. It was obviously placed there on purpose.

 

[elkaholic]

Dielectric grease ..., prevents corrosion on the contacts

Well they did come out easily.

With the canvas top......
