just the right size for two !! Dang that looks good. All ive been cooking is mud lol, but that is kinda fun too. 

I've been wrenchin on the Burb, getting it ready for the hunt and winter. It was missing and running like crap so i decided to give her a tune-up. The plugs were pretty worn so i replaced them but he darn distributor cap i dont think was ever replaced lol. The rotor button was completely worn down and the terminals had big gobs of carbon burnt to them.  So i figured it solved the problem, it ran better but still was not right so i rebuilt the throttle body next and found a vacuum port completely plugged with mud and someone had tried to set the idle by drilling out the idle screw, which is factory sealed, that throws off the ECM which controls air gas mix and was the biggest problem with the way she ran and the hardest to find as that shouldnt happen.  Adjusted that back to the original reset the downshift cable which was also set to short and not allowing full throtle or proper shifting. I also threw on a new muffler, when i cut it off i found the one on it was to small it had just been shoved inside the exhaust pipe and welded on 2 1/2" muffler on a 3" exhaust so it had too much back pressure. Damn thing runs like new now.  My son bought this thing used then traded it to us It was running well then, or so i thought, so i just drove it for a few years lol. Now for the hard stuff, My daughter gave us another burb, same year so I'm switching out the radiator supports, then fixing the other burb for my son to drive as well as having an unlifted unmodded truck for the road and town driving. The days are getting short and the mornings brisk It won't be long until snow flies here.

 

Take care my friend!!

Its a suburban lol Its my nickname for this thing I drive out in the boonies (offroad). There is still plenty of nowhere out here to get lost, stuck, or broke down in. 6" lift, 37"deep lug tires, 10,000 lb winch gets me through the shit and back home. i would look great driving her to elk camp with that red hat of yours, which is really cool btw, but i doubt i would make it out of the Dixon Bar safe with it on LOL.

That's the only thing I'm envious of in the US,the space. Must be great. Thanks for the cool on the  hat.

Seeing your  burb makes me think of my landys. 'sigh' .   I have 3 of them 

Your burb looks so good btw 👍 

Atm I am ' resource  rich and time poor' ,  that's  my latest catch phrase  .

There's  so many  things I'd love to do but no time to do them , including playing with my 'toys' .

Yeh , that barby works great 👍 

It's Fathers Day here  in Oz on Sunday,  7th September. So I'll be doing a roast lamb  and vegies, and  with champers😋 

I got him a Vincent Black Shadow  motorcycle  model, for fathers day , like the one he had in the uk , and I once rode in ( the side car ) when I was a baby.  I sat on mums lap.  It was all black with red leather interior, I still remember  how it looked and  smelt, i don't  know how I remember  that,   i just do,  that's weird.
