Thank you for thinking of me RiverPatrol. However, I’m full at the moment. Though I do have my eye on one in an undisclosed location.
The rebuilding of my Patrols never ends. Over the last several months Eddie the Eagle has been fixated on getting all my tie rods operational. None were, all were/remain seized.
First, Pinto Patrol got fixed. It was the most necessary as it’s “toe in” ate through that new set of tires you sent me in a just one week. Then the white 63 got half fixed, those tires each flared to the outboard side but not enough to create tire wear. Still the adjusting screw needed to be freed and adjusted. Lastly, will be Phoenix Patrol. Currently it is getting a skid plate re-attached and the rattle in the spare tire carrier eliminated.
Please note the white 63 had a complete suspension rebuild about five years ago, including the tie rod, pictures on the forum show it “ Green Machine”. Just goes to show you that to keep them up ………if your going to drive them when and where you want they require maintenance. Dust, mud and use adds up.
It is expensive for Eddie to working through them but when he is finished they truly drive better. I drive one of them everyday to town. Everyone loves Pinto with the patina, guys and girls just smile and ask questions. January 31st I’ll pick a former Trump cabinet member up for dinner in one. He will love it! Maybe a picture will be posted.
