I could have built two one ton axles for what this Toyota one cost. But everyone said you can't run hard buggy stuff on Yota axles. Sadly the 9.5 diff wont fit into the frt of a 80 without some mods.. Ran this axle for 4 years and beat it like...

When you installed the new wheel bearing was it seated all the way? It's been a long time but I recall having to use a bearing race driver and a hammer to really get it fully seated.

I have a couple of questions for you. If you only torque the inner nut to 30, will it rotate? And then at 45, are you just trying to rotate the rotor by hand, or with some leverage like the wheel on the hub or a screw driver in the side of the...

I know I would very much enjoy something like this. As you are keenly aware in your other roles, history is important

Trail Talk with Tony... got a nice ring to it. Have I done that at Rubithon?? Thanks to Mark and Maria Barnes, I have the good fortune to serve as caretaker a few weeks each summer allowing them some extra time outside the Springs. During my...

This is a good run to take then. Two years ago I hiked up from the springs to take some pics of this run coming down Big Sluice on Friday morning.

Excellent, thanks!

Which Fox coilovers did you end up with? It looks like I might be able to fit some 14"s fairly easily. Poly performance has them for a good price for the DSC versions

These are Fox 2.0x14, 7/8" shaft remote reservoirs. The biggest thing is getting them valved correctly and choosing the right springs. I got these from AccutunedOffroad, so they came valved and with springs. I just had to provide vehicle specs...

This is the the official 2024 Rubithon Thursday Breakfast Morning thread. I am looking forward to meeting you all on this years trip. My name is Doug, I will be leading the run this year with my co-driver Dominik aged 19 and my 8 year old...

Excuse my ignorance on this subject, but this is a good thing right? All evidence heard in one trial and possibly some restitution? Or is that a pipe dream at this point?

On the schedule for May 1, 2024. The message on the website:

Well Wits end webpage is down. Who knows why, I placed two orders Jan 19 2024 and March 1st. Jan 19 order is incomplete, a 135 dollar part is missing from the order. I reached out and we will see. I also turned it over to Amex to dispute the...

The only advantage is the number of parts that I have sitting in my garage already lol. All I'd need is the housing, studs for the diff and new 80 balls. But again, I think at that point, it'll go in another build. Unless I can convince my wife...

So, just realized I had never followed up with an answer to how I fixed my problem. I’ll try to keep this short. Although I had already replaced the solenoids, I swapped out a new set just to be 100% sure it wasn’t them. Every time the truck...

If you’re locked already. Lower gears RCV 300m 30 spline axles ARP hardware Truss the front housing and add knuckle braces. If you need more then that then it’s time for a Buggy.

Exactly this. I have all of these and catch myself imagining it's going to be time for a RuffStuff front 9.5 housing with 80 balls to swap in, but really at that point, the 80 is no longer the chassis and I'd be better off building a stretched...

I put the LX 450 to work with the trailer this weekend while enjoying some serious model railroading. I transported 5 Freemo modules over to Cornfield 10 in McLean, IL while assisting my friends of the Illini Railroad Club. The IRC is the oldest...

I think we scared them all. Then again, most of the personalities I've come accross up there aren't huge talkers nor posters. Regardless, it'll be a good time for everyone

Old wheeling/NorCal/Rubithon/desert friends you run into when doing desert-rat shït… A nice dinner-night with my good, old friend Andy on North Titus Canyon Rd @Cruiserdrew And another great night with my friend Nial at Saline Valley Warm...

Do it, it's incredibly easy. Welding machines make is super easy to setup. When I got started I took a welding class at a local forge, was like $75 for an hour and a half of hands on training, learning techniques etc. Bought a welder, welded some...

Sound Deadening the chopped LC.

little bit of this, little bit of that. updated these markers to international dual bulb style. gets much better turn signal exposure for clowns trying to crash into you.
