Something isn’t quite right with that Grave Digger truck. Is that a real truck? How is it staying like that?

Tomorrow?

My daughter and I got up early Sunday morning to drive to the top of the mountain to catch the sunrise. It was spectacular. And lots fun to do with her. Took us about an hour and 45 minutes to get up there so we had to get up at 5:30. She's such...

You started it 30 years ago when you showed me your HJ47. I had no desire to stretch anything prior to that date.

Your just can't help yourself: you gotta stretch everything.

FYI, the new adventure quest is live. This one explores the San Juan Mountains for a late-1800s mining settlement. No obligation to buy. If you win you can donate your prize to charity. https://inlowgear.com/the-quest/

I agree. I am planning to move the axle back a bit as it is starting to get a little heavier in the rear. I'm only planning to move it back 5-6". I may extend the tongue though I'll probably until last to tackle that part.

Chinaman Gulch and Aspen Ridge Bolted out to Colorado this weekend to drop the 40 off ahead of going to Mexico. Saw my first snow of the year.

Dan and Karl looking like a happily married couple 🤣

This looks like an amazing time!

Hit a trail just north of Tucson this morning. First time out with my new rear ARB locker 4.88s and rear disc break setup. Couldn't be happier. It rained on us about 50% of the time, but hey, no dust!

Hi all. Here is my latest creation. It is modeled after Brian Gobin’s truck here in Colorado. Enjoy! https://inlowgear.etsy.com/listing/4607183320

Looks great. Yep, that was the mirrors I remember on all my Bud's first gen trucks. May have been a dealer add on?? I think yours are the factory versions.

Thanks! I’ve had a lot of fun drawing and I really like how this one turned out. I remember the big mirrors on my brother’s truck and we thought at the time that they were aftermarket. Both my trucks had the smaller plastic mirrors.

Either that or the Camaro will be fitted with larger tires...

I decided to keep the smaller mirrors. I am happy to draw the larger mirrors for anyone who prefers those :) Enjoy and thanks in advance for the support. -Mike https://inlowgear.etsy.com/listing/4607183320/1979-1981-toyota-pickup-truck-hand

I think those mirrors were one of the options on the 1st gens, but most that I have seen on friends and co worker's trucks were the western style. I think it looks good either way though.

Thanks. Are these the western style mirrors that you speak of?

I noticed that, too. I'm having a hard time getting the proportions right on this truck. How does this look?

Sounds good and I will be watching for it. Tag me when you do. I had a '79 and an '81 a long time ago. They were great trucks.

I took my Cruiser out last weekend to pull the off-road trailer down the road for a test run. The camper is coming along and I am getting excited for it's first overnight trip....maybe some time in January/February?

That is a nice pickup! I just posted in the minitruck section that I am currently drawing a '79 truck for a t-shirt design. Your truck looks solid with very minimal rust. The 40 looks amazing, too. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all. Those who know me may not know that I was into the minitruck scene for awhile. As I was thinking about what I wanted to draw next, I came across a really cool mini truck owned by Brian Gobin with Hillside 4x4. I don't know if he has a mud...

Every day car had a dead battery. So.....drove the 40 to a work jobsite for the first time, turned an ordinary 15 minute micro commute into a little adventure. Nothing catastrophic happened but a bit of wander in the steering are some of the...

It sounds like I need to install two winches on this trailer! I’ve got an axe in the tailgate of the Cruiser, but it is no Brantley. You will find out. Someone will give you one at camp when fires are allowed.
