I'm sure y'all have talked about it, but you may wanna reconsider your trip out here. It's like a war zone anywhere west of Hickory. Entire roads, hell even towns are destroyed. Heard of quite a few people needing helicopter evac because roads are straight up gone.

Yeah we cancelled

 

Sucks. Your family ok?

 

beautiful photos as always

 

Yeah it blows, I wish we could go to help clean up. Couple trees down on my aunt's house but nothing that cause major damage, just have to get em off. Lots of other trees down too and her road is entirely washed out. I think she's going to fly my uncle that lives closer out to help with the trees. But the road... I dunno, it isnt her road but I'd imagine it's low priority to whatever township owns it

 

Glad she made out okay in the grand scheme of things.

 

How are things over your way?

 

Cool Delica parked in our neighborhood

 

This fucker was not the easiest to kill

 

My grandpa always had a bottle strapped to his bicycle for aggressive dogs

 

Knives and old blades are sweet I follow a few vintage knive collectors on Instagram, it's crazy how many issues they have with being reported for guideline issues for the dumbest stuff

 

Parkers shots are definitely better but we also went to for a colorful drive

 

Fine, it wasn't anything more than a usual summer storm for us.

 

Speak for yourself those look great, the colors are incredible!

 

I’ve been trying to get this really nice 100, but I don’t think I’ll be able to since they didn’t wanna do a trade. Otherwise I’d have to get the CU to front me the cash til I can sell my truck. It’s a shame though since it seems like a really good deal. Lots of recent maintenance, including most of the big ticket items..

 

I wish I could have found one like that when I was looking. That's an easy to live with color combination. 98 model has a rear locker. Simple HVAC controls. A guy on UZJ100 just rolled over 500,000 on his 98 model. Sometimes I think the first year may have been more carefully built than some of the later years. A couple of later years are known for shuttering torque converters. The transmissions are so close to the 80 series. I don't know of any 80 series owners complaining about their 4 speeds.

 

The A343F is just a slightly different A340F, pretty well sorted trans since it had been in near constant use since the late 1980s. I think the only reason they went from the A442F to the A343F was for the MPG. Didn't make much of a difference but around town I guess the A343 is better on fuel, with a 1FZ-FE
