Amazing Rover!
Thanks, all! I still check the garage every now and then to make sure I'm not dreaming. Looking forward to driving it more and working on it myself.
The color was definitely worth the trouble. So pleased that Ike was able to track down an original dark grey, since the mid grey or even burnt grey wasn't what I was looking for. initially, i wanted a nice original patina, but we found this truck part way through a restoration that was mechanically sound with a very solid chassis and bulkhead. Only thing was it had been stripped of all exterior paint. So I bit the bullet. Glad I did.
Love the GnR thread...had no idea. Awesome.
Many thanks to Ed in Alaska for going on a gas run when we crossed paths in Scotia, CA. In the 700 miles I drove between Springfield, OR and SF, his sweet expedition SIIA was the ONLY series we came across. It just so happened to be the exact moment that I ran out of gas on the 101. Funny, the gage said I had 1/4 of a tank! :nono: What are the odds? But like he said, these rigs are attracted to each other.
If you wanted a truck to work on, you got the wrong one. Lets trade. Mine's got a safari hardtop, so its basically an even swap.
nice ride!!!!
They are 235/85. Love these new KM2s. Always had ATs until this set.
It's been a while since I posted in this thread. Here's a quick pic of the leaker taken in the 20 minutes the sun was out following the blizzard the other day:
