I'll likely be working by the time the next meet comes around, and I won't have enough time off accumulated by then..Why? So your Thunderchicken Ranger has a chance of getting there with 80% of its parts intact? ?
Also, my 2001 is getting near 200,000 miles on the original timing chains and tensioners. It's a ticking time bomb. But at least it won't smoke a clutch in a little sand..
