Tested out my new OME lift that George put on at Valley Hybrids. Excellent work and couldnt be happier with the ride and performance.

chased code PO510 on the LX - twice :mad: :bang:

and, there were more shenanigans thereafter :eek: which really doesn't help when the LX is the only vehicle available at 2:30am-ish in the morning to get you to catch a 5am flight (hey, really, I am not bragging, I am sharing my "who invented early mornings pain" here :mad:) ain here
 
I wouldn't say mine is very clean. It depresses me at times that it starts to show its age. True I don't get to play anywhere near as much as I want to. it kills me. My job situation has changed radically so now I have the freedom I so crave. In two weeks I'm doing a 5000 mile trip to Glacier, Yellowstone, Vancouver and places in between. Sooo looking forward to it.

I am headed to Yellowstone in two weeks as well. If you see a white, lifted 97 LC towing a camper trailer, be sure to say hi.

Leaving SoCal on the 16th and going 395 to Tahoe then 50 across to Elko and up to the West Entrance. I always look for loved 80s so don't be surprised when you see my pulling up next to you and giving you the MUD salute :flipoff2:
 
Picked it up after 6mo at the paint shop (not really the shops fault). Got it lined. Glad to have her home.

Next dual fuel inlet and fuel output via quick connect
Super interested in your quick connects for this system. I'd love to use something similar as I get ready for my MAF tank & veggie system install.

Tore apart front axle to replace a clicking birf. Inner axle was a pain in the ass to dislodge from the birf even using the ABS trick. Turns out the splined edge that goes into the birf was slightly twisted. Ugh. Can't find an axle anywhere locally. Need to order and now wait another two days. Suck ass.
 
Decided to rebuild axle with new birf. Waiting on new inner axle shaft from CDAN. While waiting the Ron Davis rad came in so yanked out the old pile of s*** brass radiator.

Old vs bling :flipoff2:
