Tech and Fabrication
Lilly Reboot Part 2
Today continued the go through process, identifying parts and components that will be replacing. Still need to wash it really well. Given the fact that Lilly is still not registered yet due to waiting on duplicate title, can not get to a car wash facility and my apartment complex is against washing of vehicles in your spaces. So until I wash it, I can not start cleaning and buffing the exterior.
Lilly Reboot Part 1
It has been some time since the Cruiser has been on the trails, let alone the pavement. Since moving to Florida, she has, for the most part, sat in the driveway and most recently in the garage. Everyone has their reasons why they let something sit for a time, but now it’s time for me to put her back into service.
What, No Heat?
Life was good rolling down the highway right up until I noticed that there was little heat coming out of the vents and the fan was switched on. But fortunately there is enough heat just leaking out once the rig is warm that I don’t need much more.
Who’s Rig is That?
Not sure I ever drove my rig this way before, sans roof rack. But the need arose when I had to get into the parking garage at the Seattle Airport parking garage….
Air Compressor Maintenance
A bit of a dilemna happened at work the other day. I needed air on a job and both the compressors were broken. So like all Cruiser drivers, time to once again think inside the wagon..
I can say that I never expected to use the compressor in my rig to run a nail gun. But yup, if you look close in that one pic you can see the hose running out the back of my rig and up into a boat.
