Ran Poker Flat in the Sierras with a group over the weekend. It's pretty amazing what these vehicles are capable of.

Replace. Dirt and water will get in there and abrade the cords, plus other potential avenues for it to lead to a really bad day.

This was the easiest way to measure Rear 19.375 collapsed 28" extended 8.625" travel

Hi-Lift + lift mate or Hi-Lift + and a short static strap or endless loop makes a fantastic lifting device for many needs. Not ideal by any stretch for tire removal for obvious reasons BUT in a scenerio where you need a lifting tool AND winching...

Roger that. No issues there.

Long time lurker, first time poster... Finally got my hands on a 2008 JDM LC200 (with a 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE) engine, cloth interior, no sunroof, no KDSS, just gen1 crawl control) with 51K kms! ~4 months after winning the auction, it finally got...

Yup. I just felt I had all that space and 100 or 200w kind of took up similar “room” considering height and bars and such… so go big. Right now I just have my old yeti 1500x, it’s doing great, but upgrading that will be my next move. May...

That's a lot of solar! What size battery are you running?

I just got done doing some other work and was able to get pictures of something that used to frustrate me about working on cars. Toyota and others use something of a sliding clamping system on certain accessories like power steering pumps...

Haven't gotten that far yet. I do have hard point on all 4 sides but need to figure out if the lifting jaw is compatible. I can say the jaw isn't deep enough to reach around the Slee slider steps. The jaw can be used with a soft shackle that...

Where would you lift from? Any nifty mount ideas?

Done. Actually still want to mod the hand crank to take a drill input. This thing goes way high up.

Burning it in this morning. Pretty fun and easy as all components are 1/4" plate meaning hard to burn through or get it too wrong. I'm using flux core mig at 250 amps. Not the prettiest stuff but there will be plenty of penetration and the...

I'm back in a land cruiser after a long hiatus! Introducing my new-to-me 2008. I brought the pacific blue to the pacific, where it belongs :cool:

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on it once you have it built and tried it out!

Yup. I'm building one at the moment. Here's a great article. Tauler Jack Review: Why It’s Better Than Your Jack - https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/tauler-jack-review-brennans-garage

Always down for the 🤓 convention

Full disclosure, I spend a great deal of my life teaching/training/guiding with/for private, club, corporate, military, etc. customers... hence why like to regularly train and use on all relevant options. This is a class I hosted, we were using...

Yup, I've used the exhaust/air jacks a great deal in different environs, particularly those where they excel... sand and snow. I still carry one when doing big snow or dunes trips. I don't believe jacks are a one-trick pony, i.e. there isn't a...

I've always wanted to try this but can't weld Tauler Jack Kit - https://brennans-garage.com/collections/bee-safe-recovery-gear/products/tauler-jack-kit What are people's thought about using the new 1.5T Badland or ProEagle jack? It's...

Selling a used set of Trail Tailor 200-series rear shock guards. I no longer need these since I changed my setup and cannot use them. They were $210 + shipping + tax back in 12/2021. Looking to get $100 shipped via USPS Priority Mail. I'm in...

I’m going to need to raise the price on these kits a little bit but want to give everyone as much of a heads up as possible. So, everyone will have a little over 30 days before the prices go up by $50 per kit on 9/1/25. I am a couple weeks out...
