    Recently retired from law enforcement in New Jersey and moved to North Carolina and with the blizzard today, GLAD (yes I'm yelling) I did. Worked free lance for several truck mags and a manufacturer in the 80's Did a build of an 80 HiLux 4X4 which I sold had only 26K miles on it, mint and rustfree (unusual for NJ, didn't drive it in winter) and still own an 87 Dodge Ram 50 4X4 built as a Pre-Runner by John Baker Performance. It too is mint w/ only 12k miles on it. As things progress with getting settled here, looking for another nice Toy
    4X4 w/ 20R or 22R motor or a turbo motor.
    I have some tech knowledge of the Weber and Mikuni carbs so if I might be able to lend a hand to someone here, be glad to do it. I also found some brand new parts I listed here today which I think are priced decently to maybe help out a member w/ a budget build.

    Welcome!

    Hey, I've been to North Carolina.

    Actually it was a stop over for my San Francisco to New Jersey flight. :D

    Again, welcome aboard.
