[Chungas Revenge]

@Chungas Revenge I am glad that you are trying to hijack my thread, however I would agree with most that you need to come onto the podcast to talk about mule 2.0

Wooops.

I am thinking of ways to have better interaction between everyone listening and myself.

So a lot of you have reached out to me privately to ask for updates on what has been happening with my girl. The OEM fuel pump didn't work when I first put it in originally. So I bought an aftermarket fuel pump from parts geek. That pump was working but it was sucking in air at fuel pump outlet, leading to not being able to run with out the choke being pulled. I called customer service and had to order a replacement fuel pump under warranty. Got the new pump and sent the malfunctioning pump back with a new pump, again an aftermarket one. I primed the carburetor and cranked it over and it would only run for a few seconds and shut off. Well that went on for a while and I was racking my brain as to why it wasn't working. Brings up the old question when did it become unhappy. The second pump was really un happy. A coworker told me to hook up a vacuum gauge to the inlet and see if the pump is pulling any vacuum. Well the vacuum gauge barely fluttered when I had my son crank it over. So I pulled the second aftermarket fuel pump out and compared the plunger to the OEM 2F pump and the second pump had a range of about 1/8 inch and the OEM pump was more then 1/4 inch. So I returned the second aftermarket fuel pump. Lesson learned I ordered an OEM fuel pump rebuild kit from @Cruiser Cult which should be here this weekend.

Ok, it’s “The podcast” thread. Folks just can’t help posting random cruiser updates on it..

So I am looking for people's favorite stories, guests and episodes over the whole podcast to include on a greatest hits episode for #100

 

[mtn biker]

On this week's episode of the Classic Land Cruisers podcast I speak with @J Clark a.k.a. Land Cruiser variants on Instagram joins me to talk about how he found his unicorn multiple times looking in the middle east.

This week on a special episode of the Classic Land Cruisers podcast the tables are turned and I am on the hot seat while my daughter interviews me for being part of the Land Cruiser community.

I was just listening to a different podcast and when that one got over it went directly into mine. The music bed was almost inaudible. is that happening for anyone else?

 

[mtn biker]

So I was finally able to get Georg Esterer, @orangefj45, and I can't think of a better way to have my 99th episode. He shares with me how a turning point in his life lead to valley hybrids, cruiser brothers and terrain tamer coming from Australia to the US.

If you were in season 2 I already have a picture of your vehicle. If you were in season 1 and have a 60 please send me a picture of your rig. This is going to be a playoff style giveaway with 2 pictures going head to head and then after all of the rounds the one left standing will be the winner.

Wheeelll, I remembered a certain story involving your 40, a famous clown, and your grandmother and though that has to be one of the top 5 stories if not the top.

@nuclearlemon can you send me some pictures of your 60 series for this giveaway

sadly my 60 has been gone for decades. she's shared a life through other mud members from trapper50cal to rdc76...don't know where from there, you can search for "ingrid" and find her history.

A couple of things. This morning I want to say thanks to ALL who participated in the @Cruiser Cult ignition interlock giveaway over on Instagram it was a lot of fun. Some of you guys are a lot more competitive than I thought. Some were wanting to win just to win and didn't care about the grand prize . Anyway the winner was Cruiser Seth from Instagram who I have already recorded an episode with but it will be out next week. But I get ahead of myself. This week is Omar Teran's turn in the hot seat. After referring several people to have on the podcast I finally get to speak with him. He shares how his brothers basically forced Land Cruisers onto him and that sometimes you just need to get on the skinny pedal to get out of a precarious situation.

So yet another one from the Salt Lake City area @slccruisers joins me with his dad Greg Hoffman to share their story of how the Land Cruiser addiction has hit their whole family with just about everyone driving built up Land Cruisers (including mom Hoffman) and if you want it bad enough there is always going to a way to fit more Land Cruisers in.

Seth was also the winner of my recent Instagram giveaway of the @cruiser_cult2 60 series ignition interlock/kill switch from a couple of weeks ago.
