Good morning! It’s been a while. All is well and excited today to replace front struts on Elvira. The noise and drivability has been way over normal.

It’s been a while but I’m back out shooting for my personal photo project. Despite the chemical burns from the chemo treatment on my fingers, I can still push the shutter!
Wishing everyone a fabulous day!

The weather in Oklahoma has been crazy with the severe storms. Makes wrenching on Elvira a slow process. A few more drivetrain items to update and fluids to change before starting on the camper buildout.
Wishing everyone a fabulous day.

Good evening Overlanders!
It’s been a busy few weeks of playing catchup along with some minor repairs on Elvira. Right now,I’m still trying to find a shop that will drill out a busted bolt in the manifold exhaust flange. It’s a little tight working area but five muffler shops I called wouldn’t touch it. And my drill set kinda needs help. Lol

Woke up very sore this morning after swapping front brakes on Elvira. Nice to know that the old man still has skills!

I'm adding photos to the Elvira gallery on Flickr, check it out! Flickr Elvira Gallery

Good Evening Everyone!
Been crushing opportunities for last five days straight and planning to continue until my body says overwise. As a highlight, setup a new chapter website for Oklahoma with @Sand Squid and @SlimJimOKC. Great things ahead. www.overlandboundoklahoma.com but Elvira needs new front brakes first.

Hump Day Check In
Got some computer work done and now using my fancy calf compression machine to help my leg swelling. Wonder what people would think when they hear the air pump and release in the middle of night while camping… LOL

It’s been a long, good and productive day. Of course the wind in Oklahoma is horrible for vehicles on the road. Wish I was camping on the stars right now.

Spend last two days wrenching on the Element to change out the VTT. Would’ve been a lot quicker that I’m not stripped the heads of the bolt in a hard to see place between the engine and the firewall.
Managed to finally get it out and took Elvira for a test drive and No Codes!
