Hello Greg P, from Eugene P. Thanks for reaching out! A few folks will post some ‘bucket list’ ideas / venues, including myself. Also consider checking our Fb page of a similar name, it garners more activity these days. After a record breaking warm January (basically above freezing the whole month), we are being invaded by a Polar cold front. The temperature just dropped 12 degrees Centigrade in the last 6 hours….. from above freezing to 0 Fahrenheit….. Come visit in the summer! Lol

It’s called a Tie-Rod end, appropriately enough, and usually abbreviated as TRE.

Bleeding the front brakes (including proportioning valve) is a 3 person job. Have to hold open the valve which reduces pressure to the front discs vs. rear drums. (ATM mostly sprucing-up our 35 yr old home……) All good!

The Scout is more driver than Concurs(?), lol, but I hope (4 letter word), plan (another 4 letter word), INTEND to have it at the New Glasgow car show this summer. And other shows.

Jay - you can get Grade 8(?) ‘pinch’ nuts. Very similar to a Nylon lock nut but all-metal construction. The ‘pinched’ part of the nut won’t wear off like Nylon could, nor melt like Nylon could. Parts For Trucks Burnside used to carry them. I have a few on the ‘Burb for critical bolts.

Just noticed this today! Now I’ll Google Kendrick Lane… lol

Been installing a new muffler to replace the one I had to cut off, to get at the brake line, etc etc. Slow but sure…. Thanks for the likes Paul! Lol

Soooo, how do you like them so far???

Started bleeding lines today. From the master cylinder to each wheel. Didn’t get too far yet!

I did a backwoods road tour in the Ranger Saturday, it was great!

The Heep and the Scout - we both are on track. HOPEFULLY the ‘Burban….

New brake line is in place and 99% connected. Just need to refasten to the frame at one point. Going to garage today….

IIRC you made one Heep post last year. You’re at two already this year!

I scrolled through Google maps at the location the store was at, and no name popped up at the building.

I saw a post, likely on Fb, that the Canadian retailers of 4WheelParts were bought out by someone, I forget who though.
