My normal routine is to run one cylinder out until you can’t spin the wheel, press the brake pedal a couple times, then back off the cylinder until the drag isn’t too noticeable. Repeat for the second cylinder, and then make slight adjustments to...

Brake pedal is on the right. 😂 Seriously though, I was probably a little naive thinking I could button this up at this point in the rebuild.

I always backed off both, so the shoes wear even. :meh:

The deal is on. Friday at noon. Here we go, fellas.

We had pretty good conditions. Very little wind made for flat water. Cloud cover minimized boat traffic, but makes for a colder swim. After the race finished a storm blew in with high winds and some rain/hail. A guy on a paddle board fell off...

Painting the last few parts so that I can put both axles back together. Was reading some posts on the rear drums and noticed that my springs apparently were not installed correctly. It can't make too much difference as my 55 brakes were...

Looks like it’s going to go down this week. Shooting for Friday. We’ll see!

Got a Warn M8000-S, Warn offset hawse fairlead (106880) and Factor 55 Ultrahook (00250-04). Also, wired up the new Stedi 7" Type X foglights. And while I was at it, I installed the greatest deal in Toyota parts history, the 81110-60P70...

After learning to drive our manual Kubota properly, my Dad used to throw me behind the wheel of our farm truck... it was a '78 Power Wagon. He'd let me run errands to other farms with him. I would have preferred to have driven the Kubota...

Having fun doing shop stuff 🤓

I just received my recent order from Japan4x4, shipped UPS. No tariffs. My previous order was DHL, which charged the tariff. It's hit or miss as to whether their accountants look at the order, or it goes through their system automatically...

The de minimis $800 exemption was recently eliminated thanks to our hard working politicians in DC. All imports, regardless of value, will now, at least in theory, be charged import duties. That's not to say that you won't get different charges...

Team, I unfortunately have injured my back again and may have to sell this truck because I'm not sure I'll be able to work on it myself. Anyone know someone looking for a troopy with a pop top? I've got no idea what to price this at for a...

Lots of energy dodging snapping turtles?

I bet! I'm a Doggy 🐶🐕 paddle guy. Get tired taking a shower 😘🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just did my annual swim race. It was fantastic, but I am tired!

❤️ Amsoil 🧐🤔😉

I had that battery talk in th back of my mind, because Zeke's battery tray does in fact have a rubber covering over it. Sure looks like a factory coating.

Well Terlett 🚽🧻Matt 🦨 is no longer wit us 😪😭. So Yota Noirds needs to Branch out and step it up 🐖👈🐖👈🐖💨🚬🐖🤣🤣🤣

Good point on the tires and something I haven't given much though to. My tires say "Tube Type" on the sidewall.

Not sure. I do know I had to provide values for my '83 Troopy and my '94 FZJ75 pickup. I do not know whether or not those are stated value policies. Never bothered to ask.

Took mine in a 73 Gran Torino wagon! Firefighter Father talking shop with Metro P.D. all I hadto do was take 4 right turns and was Golden 🤣🤣🤣😏. Thanks Dad 😘

Thanks. Total coincidence but fortuitous nonetheless.

Noticed da Football prop in background 😘😏😉🍺🧐🤔

Back in the day you could buy 55 stainless trays from the Stainless Battery Tray guy. He used my Pig for the prototype
