Exactly You are 100% correct.

Well, this MUST be fun or I wouldn't be doing it....got the electrical back up and running after a long winter (lots of work, little time) and bled the brakes and got her around the block successfully. Tried to run out to a worksite to make it a "home away from home" for a few weeks and had the...

Well, we did make it across the country but our second foray locally was a bit less successful....while running down for a camping weekend, the clutch started to soften up. I wasn't at the helm for this expedition and my more-knowledgeable mechanic buddy had to hop a flight to a previous...

Finally got this video clip to save -- helped a friend take down his barn yesterday -- great way to welcome the new truck into the family!

And thanks to everybody -- your answers are awfully helpful. I've never driven anything quite like this thing and it's good to have the backup. A few years ago we drove a converted city bus down Baja for a surf trip -- better top end, worse low end, same mileage...a little smoother! This is a...

Ahhhhhhhhhh......I begin to see and, no, this is not the turbo model. Just helped a friend pull down his barn and was going through the rpm/smoke correlation with my Lovely GF on the way home, with at-hand examples. It takes some familiarity to jack the RPM's -- frankly, it's easier when using...

New to the forum AND to this style of vehicle (no, I cannot explain WHY I bought it but if you have any insight, feel free....) but am mighty happy to have a great cross-country trip under my belt that got me comfortable with the rig. I'm young enough (early 40's) to have SOME memory of smoky...

Hmmmmm.....something in the attachment process is weird....."slow" is maybe not the right word for this trip -- we hauled ass for ten hours every day and I'll credit the gel seat for saving our tushes! But by the end of the day we were ready to take off the hearing protection, get off our butts...

I'm over in Hillsdale, just off Capitol Hwy -- looking at storage out in Parkrose where a friend keeps his Grillzilla (towable BBQ). We're going to try to get some basics done on the truck next week before taking it to the Burning Man Regional party and then out to the coast for the Fourth of...

Let's try this again.....now with pictures!

Hi Todd <is it Todd? checked your profile but couldn't quite tell...> That was definitely us! I'm not sure if THAT trip is what the State had in mind when they issued a trip permit.....that was our slowest ascent of the trip and quite the experience. I was driving on that stretch and trying...

Funny you should mention that sync'ing idea -- that was what I thought when I ordered them.....but....no. They do not talk to each other but would need a base unit that coordinates them. They did prove exceedingly effective with our phones and if you have a smartphone you can get Pandora or...

Howdy all -- I'd read a lot on this forum before jumping into this project and want to relay the story in thanks to all of you who put up such valuable information and take the time to answer questions from those of us who aren't knowledgeable. I'm in Portland, OR today with my 1965 M109A2...
