I rebuilt my carb, and replaced some electrical parts on the pickup at the end of the summer. Of course I finished up the day I moved into a new apartment haha. Then I got sent to StL for 2 months for work. No truck = BOOOO! Oh, well it was fine. I got back last week, squirted some carb cleaner, jumped the battery and boom, it's running like a dream. I haven't had a chance to really drive it too much, just warm it up. I'm looking forward to winter and snow though haha. Now, back to browsing YT.

I just finished my first "easy" off-roading trip with this truck at the Silver Lake Dunes in Michigan. I have to say, it was a lot of fun. I came away with only two things to fix; 1: Passenger window jumped out of the track, 2: Vac. leak somewhere around the carb.

One of those is a quick fix, the other, not so much. I definitely think I am going to un-crank my torsion bars (PO's work not mine) and lift the front end proper. After the carb is fixed of course. On another...

Just getting settled in my new 1986 P/U. I definitely have an itch to take it on a trip. An easy Offroading/Camping trip in Michigan next month, a Colorado mountain biking trip in the fall, and a winter Baja run are coming together. Brushing up on all of my off road etiquette, skills, equipment, accessories and favorite swear words.

I'm looking forward to getting out of the City/Burbs for a while.
