But Bob ... we all know what KEYS look like!


I had a 1977, the first 4X4 I OWNED.
Waiting for the pics and seeing it ON THE TRAILS!

OK, so more story.....

Not only do I get kicked out of the truck during the Troll's Color Tour, but Cindy went and stole my camera!!

May be tonight I will borrow a camera and get some photos up tomorrow.

And it will be on the trails....

Yes.... I think I walked as many miles I she drove..... :rolleyes:

Update:

Started her up last night...

Sounds great, it almost seems strange to have such a loud, nice sounding exhausting coming from a vehicle that size. I like it.

Engine took some warming up, played with the gas pedal for a bit, then she idled great. No major motor problems, so far. Soon will be running a compression test on the engine to get a better understanding of things.

Replaced the battery, old one was corroded on the bottom, slapped in a new one, turned right over.

No plates, registration, or insurance yet, so I drove her in circles at the end of the street for 10 minutes... no I didn't puke. I was pretty good at dizzy bat.

Next step will be setting up a rig in the garage to remove the top with a hoist of sorts. (without the top, the war on rust will be easier)

Then the brakes, so I can stop it and slap an ORV sticker and may be get her on some trails....

Then.... THE ALMIGHTY WAR AGAINST RUST

Pictures to come soon... Sunday or monday now most likely

[DieselMTU]

Also, I need to come up with a new for her. I have three in mind....

Anyone know how to start a Poll in this thread...?
