That’s why you man up and never put a top on it.

I did, about 30 years ago. Then I discovered air conditioning! 😆

I figured you was tuff as nails in your elderly age

A bikini top is a most for a Wrangler in the summer. It's really not bad with the top and doors off as long as you're moving, but sitting at a stop light mid-day in the summer is brutal. With the bikini top you at least get a little shade.

Definitely prefer the hard top over the soft top. The lifts that hang from your garage or carport ceiling with a hand crank on the wall is gold. Makes removing the hard top a 1 person job instead of 2 or 3. I can remove the hard top off dad's TJ all by myself about as fast as most people can take out the windows and lay down a soft top. Then you just let it hang and park under it so it's not in the way.

I remember one August day, sitting at a red-light in Montgomery, on my customized 75 HD Iron head, it was about 104 degrees, my oil tank (located directly under my balls) was around 220 degrees, sweat pouring off my chin and nose, the bike rumbling, the heat monkeys playing on the pavement ahead, and I'm thinking, "Hot Damn, this is fun"!

If I ever have pissing around money, I’d love to have a completely restored 1979 Trans Am, with non leaking T-Tops.

I don’t give this truck near the attention it deserves. This thread inspired me- I may get it out and clean it up tomorrow. I’ll do a little bit every year to it. There’s plenty things I’d like to do to it, probably not any time soon though.

That's awesome! I had a '79 K5, 9" lift and 39" mudders, and a bone stock '89 K5.

Sharp k5!! This was mine I built when I was 20

I miss these

Nice rides here

I've got the white Miata Irish posted above, picking this one up next week. It's Turbo charged and will flat out go.




Plus I have my paw paw's old truck. 1971 F100

I like that F100.

You wanna sell me my old Miata back?

Sweet drive train. Black over white is a sharp color combo for a jeep. The last CJ5 I owned was B/W.

Hey! I know where that ford truck pic was taken!

But seriously that’s a cool old truck and it’s awesome to still be in the family.

Nice Impala & F100. Wasn’t that Impala for sale a while back?

Yes, still is.

Most of yall have seen my 68 F100. This weekend the motor came out for a rebuild. Pretty much gonna be a frame off at this point. Way easier to take the bed, cab, and front clip off to get to what I need to get to. Planning on fixing the major rust while I am there, body panel rust may or may not get fixed, haven't decided yet. New suspension components, all new brake lines, fuel, etc. Got a buddy with a saw mill that's gonna cut cypress planks for the bed. Recover the bench seat. Motor is getting completely rebuilt. The bottom end looks good to be all original. As you can see, lots of carbon in the upper cylinders due to bad rings. Number four was running lean for quite some time, which makes no sense as it's the closest to the carb. Piston was burned. Number 6 didn't look so hot either. Whoever (I know who and it's not going back) did the head work, did about as bad a job as I've seen. Very poor valve job. These heads also came with press in studs that come out easily, especially with any cam or rocker changes. Well, someone took the time to machine down the bosses and tap studs for 5/12 studs. Why you wouldn't just go ahead and do them all while you have it in the fixture is beside me. But anyway, that will all be fixed. Going back with stock bottom end, very mild cam (you can run into dynamic compression issues quick with these motors), Offenhauser C intake with likely an autolite 4100, and long tube headers with duals. I've already put chevy 6 cylinder rockers arms (1.75 ratio to Ford's 1.6) . Hoping to get around 250 horsepower and 350 lb-ft. If you really want to go crazy, you can get 450-500 horsepower out of them but it comes at significant expense. If you turbo them, the sky and your pocket book is the limit.
