The boy’s got strep and the dogs need a walk. Cruiser + BLM land for the win!

Yeah, but now you can have both! Sucks that it happened though.

This week on Does it Blend? yes

Onion Creek yesterday in Moab .. went all the way to Cairn Point.

Took the grandpa steps off and also put on some Nomad convoy wheels in utility gray (needs a wash bad, ignore that)

Went up to Walker Valley. Looks like they added a big rock which makes it a bit more challenging to enter. Or maybe I’m remembering incorrectly. Either way, had some fun trying out the new build. Stoked to get the lockers on, but they weren’t...

I got some White Knuckles on, a Roof Rack, and some Lights!

I've seen some folks add diamond-shaped (positioned) scab plates then weld the sliders to those for extra strength and rigidity.

Transfer case gasket is solid aluminum: 90430-A0003 Diff gasket is folded steel: 12157-10010 Transmission drain gasket is folded steel: 35178-30010 Oil drain bolt gasket is reinforced fiber: 90430-12031

When replacing the cabin air filters, I noticed that there was a broken piece in the interior trim piece behind the glove box. It looks like the previous owner tried to fix it with hot glue and some duct tape. I figured it's a good a time as...

Yeah, same. Like a roll call or something! OP, have a look at any and all of the connecting bushings in the rear control arms and the front diff bushings. If you have someone that can change through R-N-D (and you trust them!), watch those areas...

+10 points for harbor freight warranty policy ..... I only need to bring the winch and they said they'll just hand me a new unit in the box. Translation, I get an extra control box , power cords , etc. So at least all the suffering pays off...

Yes. I used those vampire taps (that are kind of crap, I know) to get it done, but any sort of splice should be fine.

I did the exact same job as you and many others here. Then I had the horrible death wobble sagitta ass shake. My solution was panhard drop bracket - one doesnt need adjustable bar then. There's very good posts from Delta Vehicle Systems in...

Winch is installed and bumper is back in place. M10x1.25 35mm from the Autozone linked above was what worked for mounting the winch. Don't forget to secure your ground cable and smaller ground that runs up to the control box. I ran the main...

If you are okay with the downtime, I'd have Cruiser Outfitters build you a diff with a locker, send it to your mechanic, then ship back your diff for core value. https://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/lock_3rd_member.html

Prior to the fun... the next morning

All the clips that hold the pad in? Terrible luck, man. Pop your VIN into partsouq.com and browse the diagrams to compare what you have vs. what is long gone. IIRC Toyota sell it as one brake hardware kit.

In older cars I've seen this wire mod help and I did it on a couple mk3 Supras with 80's wiring. However, even then I've only seen it take poor lights up to mediocre best case. You still just have old halogen lights with [by today's standards]...

LC100 Workshop Manual - https://lc100e.github.io, then Engine Repair Manual, then Emission Control System to see everything connected. It starts like this, then goes through each of the systems

IMO the Hundy needs a swaybar upgrade in the rear more than it does the front, since it is an understeering vehicle. This is why I installed the rear only.

Take it back, not even a close call. The price is too high and it's not the right vehicle for you in the first place. These vehicles are not economically viable unless you're going to do most of the work yourself.

Thank you very much. I bought that code reader. It both read the codes and erased them getting rid of my airbag light. It had 4 codes all related to the failed clock spring/spiral cable. Harbor Freight even had an open box one so it only cost...

I am rocking the ARB deluxe bar on my '99 with a Warn VR winch (I've had since the line was introduced in 2011) on stock indexed t-bars. The bumper and winch didn't seem to drop the ride much, maybe 1/2" which was easy to overcome by cranking on...

Since you are doing all that welding. Have you thought about or will you cut & turn the knuckle balls for better caster?
