Soon. Need to get a functional spare so I can get that done.

Your truck is your DD?

Minimum dip time is 4hrs. Pull it in an evening, pull it apart, dip half, that night then dip the other half in the AM and put it back together later that day. Easy as pie. Right Ryan @CaptClose?

Went to the ACLC meet up and met some of the fine folks in the club. Hope to make it out to some more of those. The 60 section was feeling patriotic!

Beauties!

Yep. I'm all in. No back up car.

There are so many awesome structures and landscapes in San Antonio. This house is about a mile down the street from mine. The whole neighborhood is filled with these incredible historic homes. Any time I park by something like this, I have to take a quick photo. Or two... or ten.

 

[FishTown]

Took family photos.

 

[CaptClose]

Great lookin family Nick.

Also, last week I noticed some stuff on the end caps on my rear bumper. The house next door is getting renovated and they recently painted.... and now I have overspray ALL over the 60. I didn't notice it at first because it's white paint and my truck was dirty. Tried pressure washing it off today at the car wash, but no luck. You can't really see it on the white paint, but the whole truck feels like 220 grit. So, that will be a fun talk with the neighbor.

I lived next to that guy for a while. he got white dots all over my 1990 red pickup. and I wouldn't trade that 60 for anything if I were you...

I know I would regret it. I've made that mistake before.

Watching the Spurs game at the oldest VFW post in Texas. ¡VA SPURS VA!

Well it's been a while. We had a German cockroach infestation in our kitchen that popped up out of no where. The house is 99 years old and the kitchen was last remodeled about 20 years about and they really only added a couple crappy cabinets. I gutted and am in be process of sealing all of the gaps that allowed them in.

But yesterday I swapped in a reman starter from the classifieds here. Was maybe the best easiest thing I've done on the old gal yet. Here's a quick pic of the old and new-to-me reman units.

What are you dipping in? Still cleaning solution or a ultrasonic cleaner with some cleaning product? I've been wanting to send a carb out for vapor blasting, but as @FishTown says, we need a spare to do it.

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Carburator dip. It comes in a one gallon can. Just be sure kiddo has ZERO access to the garage there after. I have seen first hand what happens to a kid who drinks chemicals in a garage. Mine is on the top shelf and the door has a high hook on it. Good luck!

Keep that thing and rebuild it. On the Faq page there is a write up (don't quote me!). Quite straight forward and simple.

Kiddos? Lol. That requires being having one...

Interesting, perhaps I will use carb dip in an ultrasonic cleaner. I've had good luck using them in the past.

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Whoops my mistake. Sorry. Saw Fishtowns pic and got mixed up.

 

[FishTown]

And here's a few of the kitchen remodel.

 

[Jaric00n]

was expecting to see some Fj parts around the kitchen...remodel is incomplete

 

[FishTown]

Removed the roof rack and gave the ol girl a sponge bath. Removed the gutter chrome as well. I was missing some connectors and some pieces were a little dinged up from a hail storm last year. Kind of liking the look of no roof rack. I may leave it off for a while.

Looks clean Nick. Like the lines of a stock setup.
