Canman’s build and misadventures

^^^^^Not the only one in Canada, maybe today anyways. But that’s about the most desirable body
and grill style. Way out of line on the price, but good effort. I have and drive 2 - 40 yr old Land Cruisers with 5 speeds. Sure not the same as a new truck for sure. Good luck finding what you are looking for

 

I rode with guy in our club that restored a 40 series. Just mostly gravel/dirt rode under some power lines. After 30 - 45 mins, I was done. Another member had a 70 series, but he had air ride seats. It was a bit better, but nothing compared to the LX/80 series with coil springs. My 73 Bronco wasn’t too bad in terms of the ride as it had coils up front. The issue was with the 302, 3-sp auto, and 4:11 gears, it was almost unbearable at hwy speeds with the engine running at 3,000 rpm. You really couldn’t drive it faster than 60 - 65 mph as it felt like the drivetrain was going to explode. It was very loud.

 

Geez, that’s too bad. Drove mine to Yukon twice, it rode like a dream. Maybe
38” tires and soft springs helps LOL! 400hp 351W. Had more power than a 5.7
Its all in the seats. Gotta have good seats.

 

Still haven’t gotten around to cleaning the Tundra and listing it for sale. Busy still cleaning up the garage and making storage solutions to place everything on its’ place. My sis and her husband are arriving next Tuesday from NFLD, so that will keep busy the rest of next week.

 

Might as well wait. I have had a single 'wanna trade' offer on my '07 2wd. July / Aug are the worst months of the year
for vehicle sales. New year vehicles roll in starting Sept, once people see new year prices they get a lot more serious
about buying used again.

 

Good to know. I’ve been looking at used MDXs’/RDXs’ and prices are much lower than they were last year. Much more in line with pre-Covid prices. Fortunately, I’m not really in a rush to sell it.
