72c20customcamper · 07-26-2019, 06:33 AM

6:30 sun isn't up over the mountain yet . Weather looks good for the trip. Oil changed and new oil feed line installed on turbo. Were ready to roll

**special-K** · 07-26-2019, 06:52 AM

It's a great day for picking up '77 'Burbs. I woke up this morning wanting to do the same, but you seemed to have gotten the only one available today

**Willowrun** · 07-26-2019, 10:36 PM

Looking forward to meeting you bright and early in the AM!

72c20customcamper · 07-26-2019, 10:51 PM

Well I'm in Ann arbor at the micro in . Picking up the burban in the morning. Kinda screwed up I left my phone on with Google maps and it went dead ended up about 80 miles to far into Ohio. Going to meet Todd in the morning to pick up the burban . I used few burban tonight too

**special-K** · 07-26-2019, 11:22 PM

Sounds like nothing a sub and a bourbon before bed wouldn't fix

72c20customcamper · 07-27-2019, 10:38 AM

Done deal. On my way home. This truck is clean

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-27-2019, 12:05 PM

Looks very nice. Post some more pics when you get home please.

72c20customcamper · 07-27-2019, 01:08 PM

One casualty trailer tire

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-27-2019, 03:19 PM

Oops. ......

72c20customcamper · 07-27-2019, 04:54 PM

Another tire went guess from age so I limped it to a tractor supply in Erie pa. Bought 4 new tires on rims

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-27-2019, 07:35 PM

That sucks, but at least you're good to go now.

**special-K** · 07-27-2019, 09:46 PM

I worried about the original tires on my '96 trailer until a couple years ago when I replaced them. Thankfully they were made prior to the formula they now use that assures a tire will fly apart seven years after DOM. My '71 wrecker had tires on it from my '70 C/30 that I bought in '89 that were still good. Now the two year old tires I bought are almost bald and I use the trailer a lot less than I used to. When did underhanded marketing tactics take over from just offering a good product. No smoke and mirrors for me, please and thank you.

**Steeveedee** · 07-27-2019, 10:02 PM

Seven? Out here in sunny Cal they tell us a five year old tire is out of warranty, by age. I have a 3 year old Kia Forte with less than 14k miles on it. When the tires "expire" in two years, they will likely only have 25k miles on them. I'll continue to drive it around town like I do until it looks like they HAVE to be replaced. I wouldn't be taking it on the freeway, though.

72c20customcamper · 07-28-2019, 12:25 AM

Just pulled in to my driveway. Tire fiasco cost me about 3&1/2 hours. But turre were no other problems.

**3757chevy** · 07-28-2019, 12:54 AM

Nice looking ride .I'll be watching as you check it over .

**3757chevy** · 07-28-2019, 12:55 AM

What are your plans?

jjzepplin · 07-28-2019, 07:27 AM

I thought you were going to drive the burb! Now that would have been a great trip! Used to do that stuff all the time when I was young. Bought a $100 69 Nova from the original owner and Immediately drove it from S.F. to Tahoe in the snow with no chains. Good times. In for burb pics and fixes! I have always liked them but could never afford the fuel.

72c20customcamper · 07-28-2019, 10:09 AM

Got her off the trailer. Took some pics prior.
