No problem Ty. I tried to do some work out there in the cold Saturday and all I accomplished besides freezing my fingers and getting sore all over is the following: It's probably not possible for me to do this line replacement w/o pulling the radiator. I just can't get my fat fingers in there with a wrench to do the job right. And I don't like not being able to see that I'm getting it put back in correctly. I think once the radiator is out it will be a lot easier. I wish it was summer.:frown:

On the 80 I don't really see a way to do it without removing the rad.
 
Hope the sun is out tomorrow so I can get some progress made on the cruiser.:clap::clap:
 
Never thought I'd be wishing for MORE heat from the engine! It keeps me warm for a little while but not long. And, I guess when I pull the radiator I will be committed to completing the job. I gotta find some gloves around here. :crybaby:

The old stuff is out. The hardest was the two bolts in the very front line. They must be one of the first things attached to the frame at the factory because once the front clip is in the only way at those bolts is a short 12mm wrench and a lot of 1/4 turns. Hope to get mostly done by tomorrow. Hoping...:meh::hillbilly:

Thanks to Laurie stopping by today I was able play catch-up on reassembling everything. Had to spend a few hours this morning in the emergency room with Bobby after a trip to Home Town Buffet resulted in pretty severe food poisoning. A few things left to finish before I can crank it up and smoke test it. Thanks again Laurie!:cheers:

Jeeez Nick, where you been man??! :meh: Bobby is much better thankfully. With his diabetes we can't fool around- he was so sick he was out of it, scared me. Kids make you so happy but can worry the heII out of you too. Laurie was a huge help yesterday, I forgot what a avid wrencher she was(she's smarter than I am) however, I did move here first! Watch for my baby brother to start chiming in here. He wants to come up in July for the Run. :clap::steer:

He's got a Tacoma I believe with a lift and lockers so maybe he can carry some of my heavy gear so I don't hit so many rocks!!? :meh:

Moby is mobile again! I made a trip to work and back with me flooring it the whole way and maxing out the steering a lot in each direction. No leaks so feeling better there. Forgot to put my shroud on though.:bang: Looks like now would be a good time to cut it in half for easier access. :)
