message me if you need an expert to fix it in riyadh

Thanks Meshal. The truck is in the US now and the transmission has been rebuilt.

I really was looking forward to thanking you in person for sending us to Rocky Top and in the park.

We found some really really great trails up there and pretty much zero people until we started back around 2.

I’m bad with numbers and my map is expired but I think it was 53c right down the middle.

Then we went down a tiny black only to get to a cliff that is called devils elbow. Back up said tiny black was fun.

Then we took the trail to the north if 53 and went up and out. Good stuff up there

Great to hear you guys enjoyed that area, those are some of my favorite spots! Maybe next time the Elk will be active at Caryville Flats, it is growing into a good size herd.

It was a good idea to avoid the elbow or as a good friend calls it the “Devil’s Anus” it is guaranteed body damage!

Would have loved to stuck around for Saturday evening, but had other commitments at home.

Look forward to catching up again soon!

Heading to the Cruiser Crawl Friday. Yukon Kit wanted my OEM roof rack from the Oddball 80 so I strapped it to the FrontRunner.

It actually looks good up there

I have a few of those OEM roofracks new in the box for the 76/77 series if anyone needs some . Can even deliver to SCC

Nothing significant to report except a nice drive to Hot springs and a great burger

Couple of old school paint schemes

damn i love a double cab 70, wish these came in a lhd
id put a Aussie style tray on the back (or an actual camper) and be one happy mo-fo

 

[cppilot]

Here’s one my buddy is doing for a friend. I know it’s personal but I would never let RHD stop me…

 

[bj70bc]

very nice!

tried rhd and just cant get my swerve on.... cant even lean cool
its just...wrong (for me anyways)

lhd double cab 70's are almost importable in non firetruck form here in canada

 

[wngrog]

15 years in Canada. So nice.

 

[cppilot]

I get ya… there’s always trades off. I’m liking the low mileage, zero rust, well maintained and the color…

 

[bcsteel]

Agree with @bj70bc. Had a rhd up in northern BC. Could not get comfortable driving in the winter weather. Wish we could get lhd.

Nice job on the builds guys.

 

[Fishbulb]

Man, RHD doesn’t phase me whatsoever. It’s not even a thought.

 

[cppilot]

It’s different for everyone but after driving fire trucks for 30+ years, it’s not a thought really. When you drive a fire truck from the rear and have to steer left to go right and have no brake or throttle this was pretty easy

I bent my rear bumper the first trail trip so I put this ARB on my list. These things are absolutely beautiful. @cruiseroutfit stocks them.

And I held off on lights but now that it gets dark around here at 4:30 …..

Nolan, how did you wire in the lights for the license plate? It's something I need to do.

I did not wire mine. You can pull the old wire from the door mount but I did not want to look at the wires.

Beware. It’s about a $1100 project to put that can back there using OEM parts

Thanks for the heads up! I'm probably just going to pop rivet my license plate into the jerry can holder on my Kaymar and say screw it with the light.

Another cool thing I found. This is a Brothers console that Holley sells. $200

Fits perfectly. Replaced this turd I’ve been using in all my bench seat cruisers.

Now to order 2 more.
