Back up for sale. Will probably go on Bring-A-Trailer in the next week or so....

Pulled this truck out of the garage this weekend. Haven't driven it in over a year. Spent the past four days cleaning it up and going over it. Everything worked except the speedo and one parking light. Spend a few minutes on that stuff and the truck is 100%. If anyone is interested shoot me...

Was walking into Bird Creek off the Seward Highway for some fishing when I saw you go by on Wednesday. Yes, you looked heavy!

Hmmm. An new old-stock "desert water bag" in really nice shape. An antique Orvis Arcticreel that was owned by Robert Montgomery. A huge old Veedol service sign that's surely too big to ship. I'll have to poke around.

Wanna sell it?

I really admire your enthusiasm and can't wait to see this come together. Ya'll know I'm a fan of these engines. Keep in mind the 123 and 126 body Benz transmissions weren't the most robust in the world. Go easy on the skinny pedal pushing all that weight.

Do yourself a favor and buy a roll of copper/nickle brake line and form and flair them yourself. Good stuff, easy to work with and it doesn't corrode like normal brake line.

Was killed in a car crash on Tuesday. A sad day for Land Rover owners and adventurers everywhere. He along with the others led the way for us all. Rest in piece BB.

It's not the money. I don't need the money. I just hate to see it sit and not get used. You're in CT....Come take it for a ride. Give me $10k and a brand new Tacoma TRD Double-Cab with a cap and we'll have a deal!

Thanks. Great truck but I just never drive it. 100 miles this year. Might as well go to someone who will enjoy it.

There's a kid that works at the Lily Bay State Park on Moosehead Lake in Maine that has an Isuzu in his RRC. I'm not even sure which one. That's all I got.....

You'll get the same expansion differential with standard coolant. What this coolant does is keep small boiling points from occurring. If there are areas inside your engine where boiling is occurring, (and there are) especially where a seal between steel and aluminum exists, this is where your...

Thanks, Keith. I like the idea of this stuff. The trouble with with conventional 50/50 mix coolant is that it boils. That is the reason systems run a pressure cap....to increase the boiling point. When it boils you get hot spots and that's when you have trouble. If you can maintain an equal...
