Work here in NY is slow. Don't want my 80 to get any more rust.
It's all good.....sort of. You can come I guess. There's a reason Utah is a destination state. My wife and I love the ocean and we've talked about moving somewhere closer to the ocean, but can't bring ourselves to do it because of all the great stuff there is in Utah.
Pulled off my ARB bumper over the weekend. (dropping it off to new buyer in 10 min). What do you think of the Chrome bumper from my son's 1980 minitruck as a replacement? Sweet approach angle!

That mini truck bumper looks pretty good actually.
I spent a few years in Utah, coming from L A I was blown away that one could just drive basically anywhere into the mountains and just camp. Basically no gates on any fire roads. This is about 20 years ago. The second thing that intrigued me was that burger joints where to Utah what taquerias where to California. I’d never seen so many.
Just noticed on your sig line "fuel filter delete". Would appreciate any insight, the ff and lines going to and from, on my 3FE are pretty much fused into one chunk of oxidation. Trying to figure out the best way to deal with it besides have new lines made with new banjos. It's gonna be a pita.

Shop expansion is almost finished. A few more hours and more cruisers can squeeze in...

Reminder, check your nuts and lube your shafts
Wish my underside was as clean

Nice work using the paint marker to mark nuts. There are a lot of chassis nuts that could use that treatment.
What size tires are those?
I run the truck pretty hard through the desert and rocks and wanted an easy visual check system.
Are the wires for your rack lights run down the snorkel? If so pretty interested on more information.
Well, I didn’t know it was deleted until I went to check if it was clogged. Turns out it was missing. I had some extreme bogging and premature upshift which I was super frustrated by. I thought the fuel filter was the culprit...turns out it was the NSS. Anyway here’s the thread in which, with the help of mud, I discover it was deleted: Where the #@$% is my fuel filter?!
I ordered parts from beno 1.5 years ago. Time to install them. I think in April it will happen.
Extreme envy right here. I’ll need to do something like this. I’ll have to dedicate a couple weekends I’m sure.
Sold my cruiser to my little brother that needed something reliable for a change. Now I miss it and am looking for the replacement.
Thanks HAAANK, I'll need to get it fixed up before I start going places that don't have a street address.

How exactly did you do it?
It's exactly what I need.
I’m engaged to a foreign national. You need to convince your wife to join the peace corps.
Not all from last weekend, but .....
Fixed a wobbly and shaky mirror using super glue and this that I had on hand.
Put on OE wheels that were blasted and powder coated in a color close to Duplicolor graphite
