That sweet and sour landscape is cool
Are they finding red granite in that area as well?...it was popular for pillars as well
Was tempted to do some sweet & sour wheelin, but opted for treading lightly
.........Red & Grey are quite common.
Stretched her legs a bit.
It actually goes back to last weekend. Thursday, a week ago, I loaded up El Guapo with my camping gear, drove about two hours one-way, and then spent 4-days/3-nights camping and off-road riding in the N. Georgia hills. Then I came home, cleaned out all the camping gear, repacked, and left on Monday evening for a seminar at Tybee Island on the Georgia coast. The drive to and from Tybee was 250, mostly highway, miles at 55-70 mph. And I also drove my three colleagues around whenever we'd go eat.
I just love the way my 80 handled those diametrically opposed situations (bouncing around the woods with all my gear; cruising the highway) with such ease.

I always have to ask you guys with the highest miles; how much engine and transmission work has been done to your knowledge?

I had the tires balanced and rotated. They had sat for a year with no driving. Evidently there is some cupping. This did remove 95% of the occasional "death wobble" while braking. If it comes back I'll start throwing parts at the suspension. Everything "appears" ok.
Pretended I was back on the farm and used it is a tractor to pull a bunch of cedar stumps for my sister.
Continue fighting with electric.
Finished the additional OEM fuse box from Toyta Corolla for my planty of electrostuff. Got it for 1$ as a useless thing at junkyard.
It has 5 releys and 7 small fuses and 3 large fuses, the rest is the spare ones.

Khrome Av.. A mile from Okeechobee Road, Miami.
It's been my experience the most important thing is oil! Change it every 5 to 10 thousand miles whether it needs it or not! And long as it never runs out of coolant you can't kill the darn things!
I've owned probably 15 to 20 Toyotas with over 250k miles on them. (Presently have 6 with over 250k ) Only problem I've ever experienced is if a kid OF MINE or an employee lets them run low on oil or coolant is the only way to kill them!
I actually got into a company truck that had been abused [t100] that was 4 quarts low on oil??? That was 100kl miles ago and it has over 300k miles on it now ! ! !

I used to know a guy who had a rig just like that. He even went wheeling with me a time or two.
Haven't seen him in forever. Last I heard he was blaming his tiny tires on lack of overhead space in his garage, but he had just put some roof rack on his junk.
Weird.

Not weekend, but wheeling Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Didn't take many from Thursday, so here's the other three days.
