BJEC69

Spent the day running around collecting parts and such and the only wrenching was adding the new belts. On the rear thin belt. I’m working with 2 thin pulleys and one thick one at the crank. That’s how it was before and it did not squeak...

Need some help with this alternator. Cant remember exactly but it looks like it has only one post on the back of the alternator. No plugs for a signal wire that I can find Looks like it had this big ass 50 amp fuse in line for some reason...

Today is my birthday. I’m officially old AF Got this for myself Got a new slave and master for the clutch with a stainless line Got the interior finished. 60 shifter. Got it mostly wired up. I think I have all the red wires in the...

On it this morning. Buttoning things up. Sniper installed. PCV and booster plumbed. This truck has a Painless harness. I’ll be shocked if I can figure out where all of these red wires go. Ugh. Ignoring that I’m back under the truck...

Clean parts all going back on. Done for the day. More tomorrow. 🎉🍻

Put the radiator in and it’s too close to the fan dammit. Normally I egg out the bottom mounts and push the radiator support forward but this one had AC and it won’t go anymore forward. Reminded me of this thread Fan Size/Offset that...

Got the floor cut out and the transmission at height with all new mounts then started in on bolting the stuff I got back from Powder this week onto this thing.

Back at it! Got the trans/transfer stabbed …..

This is our first fzj79 with a stock winch and e-lockers. Those trucks with 1fz-fe got too expensive locally in Saudi, to the point that a 2006 with 500k km can cost me around 30k here!!!! And you have to deal with any 500k km surprises. "That...

Have yall seen the Saudi 80 that Ben made out of that G we imported? It’s at SEMA getting all of the attention. Way to go @Dissent

They are all owner trucks but one owner is selling Super rare locked 79 with factory winch. 60,000 miles. Totally refurbed in Saudi. $70,000. In house and ready.

Different but all going to their new homes around USA

Just got 4 new trucks in. These were the highest cost containers due to the war but still not terrible. The container was $11,000 (split 2 ways) and the port broker feea, port fees, customs, and domestic shipping was about $3500 per truck...

Our Headspace poptop has arrived in Boise! Cheers

Nice work. Jason.

What we are doing is building a trail truck that will do 70mph comfortable with one hand and then hit the toughest trails in America then hit the road again. Not a trailer queen. No compromise in component placement because there were toyota...

Two more landed today. Stories when I can undig from being gone 2 weeks

Reno and Truckee with Red.

Total 14,934 miles since this all started in January of 2025 Trip Total. Big miles this trip. Still in one piece. Bruised but standing. These tires are the s***. They look like new. Lots of volcanic rock and no cuts

I rolled into Carson City and washed the truck and met up with Steve Pryor for a beer at Reds Old 395 His 60 is getting an upgrade at his sons shop and he had to slum it in his 200 Today’s track. It was a great drive...

Made it to Hell Hole Reservoir at dark and half ass listened to the NFL game and drank a few drinks. This morning I got up a little before dawn and made my way south toward HWY 50. I kept passing mean Asians in Toyotas glaring at me. I text...

Getting to Dissent gets me south of I80 which gets me into the Sierra. I grabbed another track off my page I’ve been using called the Tahoe backcountry track. It’s awesome. I absolutely love the Sierras.

I woke up before dawn to try to get to a great sunrise spot. Made it but it was overcast. Went to a place called Pelegreen Jeep trail and as I was approaching there were camps everywhere. I asked a local and they were all deer hunting. I...

I actually have a RTT for it. That’s what this is for. I have no love for rock crawler parks watching people spot each other. This is a big trail truck.
