I see

 

I hear that, there is a decent amount of that on an older truck... Have you had to make any major repairs?

 

@Ozark_RegCab live music at the hub tonight.

 

It’s a shame about these smells cause it’s running mint otherwise. Stays nice and cool at 180-190 even with AC in 100 degree weather.

 

Mostly outside. I don’t really smell anything in the cabin unless I have the windows open

 

@Wulf

Didn't know your former roommate got an explorer

Also once you start digging into leaks on the 5VZ you might as well just get a low mileage engine with how cheap and plentiful they are.

 

Valve cover, including cam seals, and rear main are really the only areas to look for.

No reason to have to 'replace' an engine just for a leak.

 

@Abeyancer

Bro, watch this shit

Heck yeah!

What trail?!

 

Pole Hill and the solitude creek loop. It was really good to be back out in the truck even just for a short trip

You got any wheeling planned for this summer?

 

I meant for the valve stem seals and upper oil pan.

 

Excellent! Was that shot up near the top of the big climb?

And no, not a damn thing We’re in the middle of a stressful and expensive yard remodel, so I’m spending my time arguing with my lady and adding the yard stress to the work stress. Seems like a plan

Glad you got out, though, and good for you introducing a friend to wheeling! The views up there are pretty spectacular!

 

We're planning on Stony Pass and Yankee Boy next month so I better start REM coating my diffs and getting those Chromos and Longs installed.

 

Wheel balancing in the 1950s. I learned on one of these fuckers.

 

Ahhhh for what? Those are like driving on a state highway compared to Ozarks trails in Johnson County.

 

Go with a group to run some technical trails!

I'm telling you, make it out here and I'll get you going!

 

Tools back then weren't made to be 'convenient' by any means so I take it that was a MFer to deal with.

 

Have you ever run the Hammers or gone to one of the rallies?

 

KoH?

Dude have you seen the fuckery on youtube? Fuck that.

5-6 trucks max with friends is what I call a perfect outing.
