Took in some hot springs post storm and now sitting in a conex box at our test facility. Has been sitting at -6° here….cant wait for it to get back to 0 or higher…..I’m glad I’m not @rkymtnflyfisher
Truck runs great, definitely need to dump the 20w50 for cold starts but I’ve been lazy.

I might try to start my 40 today, that's a big MIGHT. Had to do some emergency fuel treatment on the Dodge last night, now that it runs I can focus on the 40.
Maybe.
This would be a great coffee table book or one for the shop book shelf…I’m’ in!

With a little help from the ol Cummins powered Dodge, the Cruiser is alive and running again. Brought it up to temperature and let it idle for a while, then took it on a short drive to blow the snow off of it. I'll see how it does tomorrow morning when I get ready for work.
Although I'm probably going to park it back in the garage.
I've recently replaced the speedo cable curing the infamous jumpy needle. I now have a solid steady needle registering accurate MPH. I also sanded and coated the rear leaf springs and replaced the suspension bushings, shackles and spring pins, It made an enormous difference in muting road noise and my BJ40 now has a much softer ride. Will do the same to the front suspension in the next few days. I also intend to replace all the shocks.
I ordered a set of floor mats from cruiser corps last week and they were delivered this afternoon. I really like the mats a lot.!! Fitment was spot-on.

Well, that answers a question I’ve been asking myself. Was about to switch away from 20w50, but if it’s still working for you in a Montana winter, I’m thinking it should still be fine in the Deep South (even as cold as it’s been)

For the past 9 years, here in GA, I've been running 20w50 all year around on the '86 2F I had totally rebuilt. This choice of oil weight came from the engine builder's recommendation. On cold days I do let the coolant temp warm up to over 90 degrees, via the Sniper screen, before I drive. It is 14 degrees here this morning and will be driving it today for some errands.

Rebuilt & restored a 2/76 Asian Carburetor 21100-61032. Also, got tired of the PO’s fuel line and decided to make a new one. Since I upgraded my fuel pump to the 1979+ 23100-61050 type, I only need to make a single pipe. Used 5/16” cupro -nickel tubing to recreate OEM # 23811-610311 fuel line. I also have stainless steel and regular steel tubing and nothing compares to the cupro-nickel in terms of appearance and ease of shaping. I used 3/16 brake line to create the template and it made it easier.
Still needs fluids, bracket for brake line T, trim U-bolts, and brakes bled.
bikersmurf, I recently swapped my axles from 4.11 to 3.70s (235/85R16's) and took it for a test drive and liked it. Of course, it's not favorable cruiser weather right now so I really wont know if it was a wise move or not without some more miles on the set up.
