I'm going to temporarily bypass the hard lines with a soft line and let it soak in something to clean it. Possibly bend my own and replace it.
Running hard and then nothing. Pull out the mop and game on!

Yeah thats my dad
Is that what they mean by “In line” filter???
Might need to grab a mop and put it back...
Glad it’s running good though now you can go get a nice long trip in.

i guess they were "cleaning" it
I replaced every single soft line, but apparently there is some gunk in the hard line from the firewall to the tank. Soooo close
Was getting 9.7mpg today. That was flat footed all day, shifting at 4.5k rpm, trying to burn fuel. I can deal with that. My 80 got 11 when I was being super easy on it.
Some guy in a new Tacoma just took a pic of it while paying for gas!!haha

I think I saw your in Ttown.
Do they sell boat gas near the lake that’s non ethonal? I always worry about ethonal gelling up in lines over time and messing with my carbs.
You’ve brought this one roaring back to being kick ass.

Thanks man
I tanked her up with premium last night, but next tank I'll try some non ethonal I think.
I hope all the crud is gone now. Have some honey-dos today, but going to work on the hard lines sometime very very soon. If she's still going strong, drive it to work 62 miles one way on Tuesday.
Have all the parts to completely rebuild the front end, but enjoying driving her too much right now to put her down for a day. REALLY want try out 4WD and dual lockers to she how much mountain goat heritage she has.

Could you take a picture from behind/front or both to see the stance with the spacers and the new wheels?
I will need tires eventually and might start looking for some LX wheels to make the jump to 16".

What I have right this second.
Can do more in morning.
With the lug centric spacers-hub centric wheels, it doesn't drive any worse than my sons 3rd gen Runner on 285 KM2s.
They are 1.5" spacers, but with the deeper back spacing wheels, it's actually more like a .75" gain (with same tires).
These synergy spacers are made in the same U.S. plant as the spidertrax.

Thanks! Big transformation in a short time.

Made a 60 parking spot.

Digging around and mined some Toyota gold: old knuckles with ARP hub studs and chromoly hub gears in my garage since 2009ish. Robbed them for the 60.

Well, the long game on owning a cruiser is to know when not to work on it sometimes. It's mamas birthday tomorrow but she's in class allllll day, so pre-birthday today, I fixed her red boat that had swamped, went rock/moss hunting, and hung her aerial yoga thingie.
Play with truck tomorrow!
