@beefchips EXCELLENT. Pretty much at the limit of me and my old short travel full suspension XC bike, but it did the trick. If you've got a more modern MTB I'm sure it would be a breeze... they aren't super technical, more like lots of pretty vistas and some switchback-heavy ascents, with a fast descent into some flow trails at the end. We had to walk a couple short sections but I think more skilled riders could do the whole thing.

Here's some photos:

It's always time for a cuppa, on the rare occasions it isn't, you make time for a cuppa.

@cb tattoo of turbo is a must

@distraxi I couldn't give up the driving dynamics of my old Morgan so it'd have to be rwd. It'll be my project I just need to get another one.

@huzer said in It's home! And it's all mine!:

The tech in it is a little more dated, but the Entune in the 4Runner wasn't the most current either. I can stream from my phone, and that's about all of the tech I need.

If you want more, I think this should be able to take a Grom VLine VL2 unit, which while expensive ($660) would add wired/wireless Android Auto/Apple Car Play, as well as providing a modern(ish) Android interface in place of the stock interface.

@highlander
Such a peach. You’re so lucky to get the opportunity to care for and drive a car like that.

@forsweden
I’m sure I saw that in a Bond flick.

But hey,

@tae I shall use this opportunity to flaunt my edc Citizen Eco-Drive.

$66 shipped, second-hand (no pun intended!) from ebay. Got it back in 2018, it gains roughly 2 seconds per month.

@0hcrikeytherozzers I paid a lot for my R53. Figured I would spend high and not have to worry as much about the problems for a low mileage example. I've damn near ticked every box on the items to replace list and spent what I paid for the car in repairs and parts. Some were a bit premature, but still. On that front might as well buy one for cheap and have the important items replaced.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the little guy, he is a bit squeaky and jumpy, but smiles per gallon I think it is a hoot. I've driven a couple later ones in the R55/6/7 and they do feel more buttoned up, better interior, nicer ride, and I think you are in the right mindset to avoid the N14 engine, maybe casually look some more and keep an eye out for a good mechanic in the area.

Belugaback...

@wbizarre I'd still drive one of the ones from Jurassic Park: Lost World.

@just-jeepin This is good Oppo!

@just-jeepin banana cream looks good!

@qaaaaa I had the KFC regular chicken sandwich the other day. I really liked it. The sauce is what made it good. Far better than the chicken sandwich I had from Raising Cane's, which was too dry and they overdid the salt.

@sn4cktimes Good deal. I know that, for some reason, they decided to do torx on the pins for GCs, and some trims (like mine) actually have two different-sized torx heads, front and rear. Just seems so counterintuitive to me, especially if that carries over to the one Jeep model that may actually require repair while offroading
.

@mazda616 No fuhrer confusion here.

@monkeepuzzle Hmm, that block has the bosses for a carrier axle too. Equal length driveshafts ftw.

Also, get you one of these!

@neil-in-nomi
Excellent. I’m glad for you that you aren’t afraid to prioritize happiness.

@rallydarkstrike
Ye', also just looking at the plate tells you when and where it was first registered. In this case it's a suffix plate where the age identifier is on the right.
L being 1973, if it was a prefix plate, the age identifier would be on the left and L would be 1993/94.
In the block of three letters is the regional identifier, in this case MM, which up to 1975 was London.
The three numbers and other letter are insignificant.

@exage03040 I like the looks of the Caddy better but I don't really like either interior. So one up for Cadillac.

@mhr555 I’d be game, I’d like to host a SE MI oppo meet once my life calms down in the fall.
