Installed an iguana on the roof to cut down on the drag created by the Yakima racks. Should give me a couple of extra MPG. Nothing else I've tried the last 40 years has done much good - this should work as well as anything else.
Iguana approved...

Freshly re-tired, becoming that crusty old Vet.
Lemme see, after coming back from deployment last month;
-swapped oil and upgraded to Mobil-1 filter
-put some Lucas oils in my pumpkins
-performed some "anti vapor locking" solutions (i.e. put a return line from my fuel pump (SBC 355) made it run better but it still wants to stall after a long hot ride) more to follow on that, have a few more ideas
-installed a Bestop in black
-trying to figure out whether I should go "no doors", "half" or "full"
-lastly, performed some needed anti-rust work around the tub
-installed some free mirrors (thank you CC.com)
-brought out the doors for some cleaning

new shoes
yoko y742s 7x15
so much less road noise than the old bias tires, feels like luxury

y742s? I am unfamiliar with this... What is the height of those tires?

I tore my rear axle out and I am redoing my Spring Hangers, and putting in new Dakota Springs.
