Tall Corn Cruiser Classic 2022
Low range gears are awesome- increased downhill control with engine braking and relying less on brakes and also crawling up steep inclines with minimal throttle input.

Looking like a blown head gasket after our trip to Colorado.

I got the pickup engine rebuilt and running so on to the next thing! Sometimes it's nice having multiple project vehicles, other times it is not....
 
Forums and YouTube would lead you to believe that the upper intake bolts are hard to get to... Didn't seem that bad for a 93.

Drivers side wheel well with a swivel, 12mm, and ~24in of extension.

Took 5 minutes

Pretty much every 30 year old plastic connector I've touched has crumbled the push tab. Going to be more of a wiring pins project and less of a head gasket/smog delete project

I believe they are type B
 
Shakey mirror foam, floppy mirror bolts, tape, and ultimately the whole plastic motor assembly cracking and falling out, just ended up replacing with OEM. I think they are for RHD though and my driver side mirror is playing with my eyes
