Got my daughters cruiser running again.
I was just in St. George yesterday; wasn't driving the Cruiser this time though.

It IS bronco canyon, and yes... GOBS of mustangs all over.
They come down into our neighborhood.
Went out to the desert north of Mojave and went wheelin. Wanted to test the H42 and 3 speed transfercase. Also was mildly surprised that the parking break will hold it on a hill (first time since i got it).

2F in my 74 was running rough. I adjusted the points, cleaned the carbon out of the dizzy cap terminals, changed the fuel filter and she would not start. Had spark at the points but would not fire at the plugs. took a little bit of troubleshooting and found the ground wire on the battery loose just enough to spark at the cable after I bumped it. Tightened it up and the 40 fired right up and purred like kitten. As always said; You can have enough ground on a 40.
finished my track bar and installed it....
Handled up on some welds etc. I cut out and pieced in new awhile back now I'm going around cleaning up and trying to get this thing painted. Time consuming cutting and fitting is over I'm thinking this will go a little quicker.
take my 40 to speak with the Sea & the Sun....... Waiting for the Off Road Magazine be sold at the stores here in Puerto Rico..my 40 got a section there..
Went rock hunting with some buds! Great time in the Texas Hill Country.
I like that; looks functional yet out of the way. What is the other square tubing on your axle, a stiffener or what?
Looks like Hidden Falls. Is it still really dusty?
