Nice to see you driving. I was going to tell you to be sure you had a couple of carb. diaphragms until I saw you had them included. I did the drive from Hamilton to North Vancouver Island and back couple of years ago and the diaphragms and a starter engage solenoid were the only failures. Diaphragms changed in Medicine Hat on the way out and some fun push starts (engage solenoid failure) on the way back made for a fun trip. 2 Tow starts with the assistance of Menonites with their black pick up trucks in Manitoba. I also gassed her up with the engine running a few times. I made sure she was parked on a hill In Kenora , Marathon and the Soo and completed the trip after 14k. I loved the seats so much I applied for a kidney change in Calgary. They just laughed. Take a soft rag and place it by your right thigh, you may need to wipe the inside of the windshield down constantly.

I love the 69 seats. I still have a pair in the attic over the garage. I had them in my 63 TR 4 and then my last 67 TR 4a. I put the GT6 seats back into the 63 and the 67 TR 4 seats back into the 67 when I sold them. They were comfortable for my 6’4” frame. The drop down headrest were perfect with the flat tonneau cover I carried over to each of the TR4s I had. I traded the next to last one for a BMW 2002a (a for automatic) which with being a hardtop greatly fit my student needs in metropolitan New Jersey at the time. After graduation I put the parts car (complete chassis and drive train, body from front bumper to A pillar and windshield) into driving service (sort of my own TR5, a front end from a TR4 and from the doors back a TR6 body). And the 69 seats went into that one too. The seats wait patiently for maybe one last ride.

Nice and detailed video, I saw you’re TR3 @ the guild drive, very nice car. keep up the good work

Good luck Chef you have a pair of big ones to take on such a long ride keep the vids coming we all miss them .

Lots of good info on this video, Tush. Wish the meet was closer to us. We would like to see you again. Have a safe trip.

Well prepared! Perfect, like your videos very much and wish you a save trip! Greetings from Germany! Uwe (TR4IRS)

Looks like a great trip! Some guys from Cincinnati are leaving tomorrow (Thursday).Safe travels and have a great time!

Hello what a beautiful car. Greetings from Anglesey north wales uk🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

My new Mercedes doesn't even have a spare tire (as far as I know), much less a screw driver. I doubt whether anyone will be driving it 46 years from now, however. Good luck on the trip and we're looking forward to some great video coverage. Bon voyage!

Have a nice trip and you for sure travel well prepared with a mountain of spare parts.....not for yourself but to help other people....just in case !! Have fun !

That was fun watching you pack for the trip. I hope all goes well for you, Dave

Good Luck Chef!...have a safe trip to St Louie.....geez guy, I didn't think anyone carried as much spares, tools and stuff as I ...Looking forward to your next vid, be safe. jim

Thanks for describing the waist seal install; I've always wondered about those. Good luck on your journey- I couldn't imagine driving that long in the normal seats. I also have a roll bar and cant put the seat back far enough...knees against the dash...

Whadda ya think about a red pin stripe along the body line on each side? I got one on my brown TR6 and it looks great!

I was kind of hoping that you would show how to use the window sill tools, but nice video anyway. Have a nice trip 😀👍

Wow, you really are prepared for the trip! I have the same year car and was interested in your seat swap out to the 69 seats, hopefully once i replace the foam my seats will improve because currently aweful for a lomg drive. Cheers Farrell

Hi Farrell, just wanted to report back that the 69 seats are indeed much more comfortable than the 73 seats. The drive was so much nicer with them.

Chef, I saw an earlier video where you changed the oil in the Armstrong shocks … I’m curious of ur opinion on changing oil in the shocks if there are no leaks BUT likely the original oil on my 75 TR6 … thoughts ?

Hi Scott, definitely a benefit if you are looking to stiffen up the ride a little bit in the rear to go to a heavier oil. I think it would benefit them even if you were to just clean them and refresh the oil that’s in them even if you don’t up the viscosity.

Missing the vids Dave but have a safe trip.

Love to hear your thoughts on Konigs Tush , what impact do those lower profile tires have on ride?

MrRdb1963 Well, I don’t find the ride overly harsh...I think I still have enough sidewall to cushion some of the bumps...I have this car set up pretty stiff anyway as I have 1 inch lowered comp springs, oversized sway bars front and rear, koni adjustable shocks in the front and revalved heavy duty lever shocks in the rear. So, it’s really a combination of things that I have going on but I still enjoy the ride.

David, I think the Konig Rewinds look great on your TR6. I'm curious if they're 15 or 16 inch diameter and what size tyre you are using?

@@cheftushThanks for your response. One last question; do you have any rubbing issues on the front suspension or are you using 1/2 inch spacers as recommended by Kai at Wishbone.

Ashley Austin no issues with any rubbing with the 16 inch. 15 inch is another story.....cheers, Tush
