I’ll start with the history of the truck and purchasing: The truck came from France and legend says it was used for a couple weeks every year to trip to Morocco and back. The owner in France was the original owner until he passed. His daughter sold it to the man which i bought it from in Montana. It had just about 275k KM on it and seemed to be beautifully maintained, yet used how a cruiser should be used. Small dings and scratches, dust everywhere, small signs of true adventure.
Once I drove it to my dad’s garage in CO from Montana, I had a small list of things to do before drib=vine it home to CA.
- Rebuild the Starter with new contacts
- Change Oil w/ OEM Filter
- CLEAN EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING was coated in fine Moroccan red dust... EVERYWHERE
- Repaint the window trim. It was very faded and that black window outline is one of my favorite features of the 80 series.
- Install my DIY rear drawer system from my old cruiser.
- Install the Rhino Rack from my old cruiser.
- Swap tires with what was on my old cruiser
Once all was well, My partner and I took the long way from CO to CA and had out first amazing adventure in our new second home!!!
