For Stock Rigs Only

Got really early mornings this week. Ya'll have a good evenin'. I'll catch up with you tomorrow.

 

Well, she's off to a better place. Somewhere in Rhode Island.

 

Do you miss her yet?

 

Have you found a suitable replacement yet?

 

Thanks for the link!

The Craftsman mower look like a Poulan Pro.

I have the Husqvarna 7021P. The 1st one the deck develop a crack and the wheel fell off. Plus carburetor choke issue. Used it for 4 years.I then bought a 2nd one, using the 1st one for parts. I now have carburetor issue. This one lasted 3 years. I seem like Husqvarna mower doesn't last more than 4 years.

Yesterday it took me 5 hour to cut the grass in the back yard than should of have taken me 3/4 hour.

 

Said who.

 

It really is a bear for most motors. I finally wised up to the Pure Gas app, and I found that a station 8 miles from my house that has a non ethanol pump, 90 octane. Now all my small motors and my FI motorcycle run it exclusively (ok, i have had to go with E10/93 octane in the middle of a ride, but, I chase it with the good stuff). Could be my imagination but they all seem start quicker and run better as well. Even better that it's on fairly twisty wooded 2 lane roads, so gassing up the bike makes for a pretty nice little 16 mile run.

Good to hear from you @BananaMan. glad you're still kickin'. sorry about the rig.

 

Stick some Avgas in it!
Kidding, trading the ethanol for the lead and it likes lower RPMs. Stuck it in my Ducati a few times for science, went like hell but not its intended purpose.

 

I started missing it when I realized how bad the damage was and that I was going to have to sell it.

Not yet, I'm saving up to try and find a 4x4 model in good condition, but I'm probably going to be looking down south for one to avoid the rust. No offense to the TW for sale section, but they're pretty much all priced at dealership prices.

 

I'll give that app a try, would be very helpful for the end of season. As long as I'm running through a tank every week or two it will be fine with regular 91-93, but I definitely want to get ethanol free when it sits for any long length of time.

 

Try Car Gurus. I had good luck with it.

 

That's how we found my daughter's Yaris 2.5 years ago.

 

I just spent 6 months looking for the Tundra: Cars.com, Autotrader.com, edmunds.com, carfax.com were a few that I scoured. I would also randomly search Craigslist down south once in awhile near the flight parks (Chattanooga TN and Davenport FL) because then I'd have an excuse to hang glide as well. You def have options. Your new girl is out there waiting..

 

@Plain Jane Taco

here is a Morgan to look at

 

Just drips British from every pore. Always hard to tell the year because the design changed so little over the decades

 

Bought my 2010 a few months ago with 152k. After having a bunch of vehicles over the years, some modified and some not, I am going to keep this one pretty much stock. I’ll mostly be using it to take the family camping and hiking with some light off-roading along the way. Since buying it I’ve done the following:
WeatherTech mud flaps
Oem bed mat
Rewired the lights for the shell (wiring was a mess)
Sealed the cowl
Added center console divider
Upgraded dome and map lights
Plans:
Replace driver side axle
Replace broken trailer connector with honda part (fix found via tacomaworld!)
Continue getting maintenance up to date

 

Nice clean looking truck!

 

Thanks! After selling my 80 series last year, I was initially looking at 100 series but went the Tacoma route instead. I’ve been really happy with that decision.

 

Congratulations She looks good!
