Pacific Swell · 07-05-07, 12:17 AM

Cool rig! I wish you many years of great fun!

Haggs · 07-05-07, 07:11 AM

I have to say that is my favorite rig that I have seen on mud. Makes me want to trade my BJ74 for 61!

Where did you find the poly body mounts?

I got the mounts and body lift from Roger Brown over at http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/BodyLiftKit.shtml

No plans but if you want dimensions let me know.

Here are a couple videos of the truck in the snow, courtesy ridgerunner. I think the tires work great in the snow, but absolutely suck on ice.

The Dude · 07-05-07, 09:41 AM

and a few more wheeling pics from northern saskatchewan.

johnkappus · 07-05-07, 09:53 AM

that is one SICK SICK rig!

and a great write-up! Thanks for putting it together.

Love the sound of that DIESEL POWER!!!

mainlander · 07-05-07, 07:29 PM

OK Brad, that is one sick rig dude.

Love it, Love it, Love it.

I'm going to steel some of your ideas in the future (ain't that what this is all about), besides they say the it's the best form of flattery

Very nice rig and trailer, you must be thrilled with it.

mainlander · 07-05-07, 07:35 PM

Hey Brad

Are those bucket seats in the back too?

The Dude · 07-05-07, 09:33 PM

Thanks again everyone. I can't wait to see all the rigs so that I can improve on my own. There are so many good ideas out there that a guy never knows about.

As for the seats, the rears are a split bench. I really like them for the fact that I can fold one down and install half of the bed and still have room for three with a ton of storage.

here's a better pic of the top of the bed. The leg folds down and it is two pieces for easy removal. If you leave the seat in, you just fold the leg back and the top sits on the seat back but you lose the storage underneath.

expat · 07-06-07, 12:42 AM

Great rig Brad. I've stalked yours over to your club website to watch the build up for quite some time. Sigh, my HJ61 is still at your "before" stage... Oh well at least I have a 12HT and cable lockers.

Tapage · 07-06-07, 08:56 AM

Thats one of the sickest rigs I've seen, and that front bumper looks like its staight out of Mad Max. Great job!!!

Christian · 10-17-07, 04:11 PM

I love your rig! Actually its part of my screensaver, but a picture not from this thread, found it in a Googlesearch long time ago, Amazing how you have done everything, and how everything goes so well together, performancewise (judging from the videos and the pics) and lookswise.
Marmaduke has been a great inspiration, and still is!
Btw the pic from my screensaver

jtreehorn · 10-17-07, 05:22 PM

This newb can only dream that some day his stock 1989 FJ62 will have half the cajones of Marmaduke. Nice rig.

The Dude · 06-14-08, 09:50 AM

Just an update:

intercooler is in. Ful write up can be found here: 12H-T intercooler instal

I have installed a heat exchanger from SEC and 12V sur flo pump for a on board shower. I will have to get a better shot of the pump and exchanger. I plumbed the inlet and out let to my front bumper. I hope they don't get knocked off hanging out like they do.

Onto the tire rack and fuel storage. The problem with running big tires is that you need a big spare. I was running a set of Michelin XMLs prior to the Toyos and the best of the lot got spare tire duty, that's a 325/85R16. I stole the design from other bumpers I found on the net.

The fuel rack turned out well. Room for two scepter cans. Ii just need to incorporate a license plate holder and maybe a shovel/axe holder.

I was inspired by KMR from www.wagongear.com on his under wagon fuel storage using the AT fuel can holder and decided to build my own. Because of the body lift and no spare under the truck I have lots of room. i would love a long range fuel tank but trying to find one is a PITA and they are $$$$. I still need to do the mounting, I think it will be hinged at one end and bolted up on the bottom side of the rear bumper. So far:

Great job!!! The River Shiver "cover shot" with the caption is classic! Man, congratulations on all you have accomplished.
