    I got a quite for a grand to ship it over.I can keep it at my old apt for abit, but they're starting to crack down on all the junk vehicles so probably not more than two weeks. There's a couple R150s for sale in Colville and Kalispell though. I think I'd rather fix up the Tacoma than keep the Xterra.

    I just want to see the Tacoma back on the road

    You've put some money into it, and it'd suck to give up on it now

    even if I did sell it, I think it'd be more cost effective to get it running first.

    This thread seems relatively quiet lately. People must be out pounding the pavement.

    It’s stranded in Rapid Coty with a shattered bell housing due to dropping the driveshaft. If Zane is still graciously willing to help, I could ship it over to Moscow and we could try to get it back on the road.

    Originally I had neglected to grease the u joints. The replacement driveshaft j had made was too short and subsequently failed.

    Tbf the actual city of LA has the weirdest shape - there’s like a million other cities down there. I thought you were in Fresno though. The weather looks nice in any case. It’s like 60 and sunny here.

    Yea this is the actually city; it’s pretty crazy how they shaped the boundaries.

    I always found people who've never been to CA are the ones who are quick to shit on it, which is weird.

    If its not hurting the wallet, might as well keep it around right now and slowly fix what needs it. Better than another round of headaches replacing it. No more bubbles is good.

    Been cleaning mouse poo half the day.
    I do not like mice.
    No matter how cute they may be.
