No real plans other than maintenance, keeping it stock, and attempting to keep it looking nice! Read more

You should check one out sometime. They’re aren’t great places to spend much time in. Read more

I’m in Kansas, so it is semi-rust prone. I don’t think I’ll be driving it while salt is down though. Read more

Hey thank you for that info - I will definitely keep you on speed dial! Now I’m off to check out that oil separator! Read more

Thank you! Read more

Thank you! Read more

That’s great advice, thanks. I know that these engines usually don’t break, but when they do, it’s at least a grand leaving the bank account. Read more

Completely agree. The Tomcat is still the most gorgeous aircraft to ever be produced. I completely freaked out when I saw one sitting off the side of I-70 while driving through western Kansas (Wakeeney, KS). I had to stop and get a pic with it! It was such a childhood hero for me.

Thanks for the tip! Read more

That 4runner is such a sweet machine, but it’s not pretty. The body rust has taken hold of it. It’s an ‘88 with the V6 and 5 speed and it seriously drives like new. Almost better than that damn Tacoma I wrote about last article. :) Read more

Thank you! Actual time spent working on it was around 35 hours. But it was over the course of 3 weeks, mainly weekends. Read more

Thank you! I’m glad to hear to the labels are of great help. I too had that same frustration! Read more

Thank you! Read more

I don’t use it often, but I haven’t had any problems with it. The table for the rotary disc portion is a little wobbly, but it works fine enough. You can’t beat the price. Read more

That’s a great idea. I will certainly consider adding info like that in future posts. Read more

A new radiator is on the horizon for this truck, just as preventative maintenance, because they’re so cheap. Read more

That’s a great question. These sort of deals rarely find their way to a Craigslist listing. The best finds are typically the ones that never see the light of the internet. Read more
