OK, so.. Time for an update, my time home is ticking away..........Duty has been calling ! And I'm still home..

I'll start with my friends rig here, still plenty to do but, it's run's for now

Pretty sweet 62. Still missing the roof rack ( which is on mine at the moment ) and the ARB running boards. The 3FE w' the H 55 RUN'S GREAT.

Been putting' around with mine fix'n the bugs out and waiting for parts to set it up. The AC needed work, oil was dripping on me toe's from the speedo cable, had a tad of bump steer in her, fuel gage was a no worky'. Small stuff, but limited on time for big stuff left, Hell, I just wanna ride the thing before I leave for work. W'ont be back till' snow time.


So, here we go.. 2620 KMS of SMILES !!!!!! LOVE this thing, the ride is insane, it's comfy as hell, I feel like a kid again ! HA

All while wrenching on her..

AC needed attention, was a leak at the evo fitting which my friend cut n'welded up a fix while I get the new parts in.

Speedo fix..

... on to the fuel sender.

 

[pistonpete]

Put a new fuel sender in and always read full. Too dumb to figure out that I had wired it wrong to boot when I repaired the wiring way back when..
Told my buddy " man it sure takes awhile to drop on the gauge ". Too much of this, haha.. And guess what ?? Last test ride out in the back country, Cough,cough. It died ! out of fuel on the trail, far from home, not far I will die, but to long too walk, haha.

Got lucky on this one, just as I pop the hood, a logger drives by with a fuel tank in his truck bed

Sorry, no pic's of my new logger friend, he was in a hurry...

Was in search of the large inland Canadian beaver...
