Hello everyone, I just wanted to ask a little advice or get feedback. I plan on taking my 72 Landy to the Overland Expo from near Santa Fe. I plan on heading south through Tijeras on Hwy 14 and then crossing the interstate at Socorro and taking Hqy 60 across to Payson then head north. Anyone know of another route that is on minor roads for the return journey? Its not safe on the interstate (too slow) plus that's just plain boring! It'll be me and a tent and a dog probably.
The engine is rebuilt, good tranny, brakes, cooling system. The tires are okay but old. In fact, one flat tire this morning. Would the AZ heat be hard on the older tires? The leaf springs are rusted and old too, no paperwork to say they were ever replaced!
I can change and check all the fluids. Anytthing else you recommend to take care of before a big trip in an old vehicle like this?
Any suggestions or ideas welcome! Thanks, s
