The garbage picked beast lives!
My buddy here is a small engine master. A cleaning of the carb, and an adjustment to the fuel float is all it took. It surges a bit and will ultimately need the exhaust manifold gaskets redone, but that can wait until spring. Everything works except for the electric starter. Even the headlights work!

I was just thinking about you guys & possibly the gambler next year. If my jeep is drivable if that would be allowed?
Also I have a IG link but since I’m on my phone Kinja has its way and I can’t publish it.

Everything is allowed at the Gambler. Any 4x4 is automatically considered a rescue/recovery vehicle, but all people and vehicles are welcome.

Hells yeah! I have a feeling we’re going to have a brutal winter (we’ve had two mild winters in a row, so what are the odds we’ll get a third?), so this beast will be perfect to have.

Obviously I would not* have a problem helping out recovery or whatever.
Apparently there may have been a StL one last (2017) year.
Not sure. Seems most of the stuff is on FB. Boo

There were a bunch of them. The Illinois group was talking about doing a 1-day event in the St. Louis area right after Thanksgiving, but that ended up not happening.
Yeah, it is mostly on FB. It’s sucked me back into that world.

No dates yet. No entry cost, no registration, no prizes. Just fun.
I tucked the RallyMetro between the fence and the garage today. Fit with 1” to spare.

I just want you to remember I was a believer! Also is that the car crushing Paul Bunyan again? If he fixed it get him a bakers dozen flap jacks quick! :)
