Owyhee Jackass

Bench-test failed. I noted the worm gear was not in the drive gear, but had ridden up and was stuck. Another shot of how the gears work. That drive gear that's pinned to the side of the plastic frame was grease-glued as well and wouldn't...

My odometer hasn't worked for a while...same on my 45. A few weeks ago I used a few threads on here as well as a youtube videos to tackle the 45's odometer. I got new tires on the 45 and wanted to know how many miles I'm putting on it, I've...

Well, this came in the other day. I still need to figure out where to mount the license plate light. .

I'm saving my pennies for this Backwoods Adventure Mods Universal Adventure Storage Box for my rear Cruiser Outfitters bumper. https://backwoodsadventuremods.com/collections/all-storage/products/universal-adventure-storage-box-19x28x15

Brought her 1200km home, not sure on plans, if I'm honest a wagon is probably more use to me these days so she might not stay in the fleet very long. Nice to do some km listening to a 1VD though!

No real rot or even much rust in the gutters of the roof so we can seal this back up nicely without much work. The doors are actually “half doors” so we have stripped the paint off the top section now too. Cheers

Nice work, thanks for sharing.

I’ve been working on my door swap on Yukon Jack. In a nutshell, I’m swapping out a set of rusty/damaged late front doors for a set of early vent window doors that are in much better shape and that happen to be the correct colour. The first...

Where'd you get your bows? I'm pretty sure Tasche fabricated his from scratch, so another variable there... Looks good btw. When are you going to start driving it?

Tasche has an OCDbeetle top for his '76 that he hasn't used/put on his 40 in years...bet he'd make you a deal. Get his and sell yours might be easier than having yours altered.

I refurbed the windshield frame and got it painted. Put new glass and weatherstrip in as well. I have been working on the soft top install recently. Installed all the footman loops and have been working on the twist locks. In the pic with the...

Few little tweaks to the '77 before a short camp trip. Swapped all the rear door hinges out for those German stainless steel ones. Smooth stuff. Using the old '77 hinges on the '73 half door project. Then I added an accumulator tank to my...

This could be the theme of 70 Series ownership. 😁

Could you use a Speedi Sleeve on the rotating part the rear seal rubs against? A leak similar to this is common on MGB’s and speedi sleeves are often used. Is there a super seal of the right size like Marlin Crawler’s Eco Seal?

Had to look up R99 diesel...where are you buying it? I don't see it available at regular, passenger-vehicle pumps in Boise anywhere.

I’ve had this Pig for a couple of years, but only just started working on it. - 1977 - Blue/white - Appears to be mostly stock, the only change being the white wagon wheels that I added. My plan is to repair the rust and the dents and bring it...

Who needs or wants spare axle shafts!? I have tried before to hook people up with spares but nobody wants them. I am going to thin this pile down big time. I am sick of this stuff cluttering up my shop. I just really really dislike tossing...

I picked these up on MP last night for a package deal!

Cleaning my fab bay so it’s outside! Man I like it, a lot! 😍🤙 I also bought (unless he backs out) a rolling 80-series chassis for my 79-series pickup. So I am not putting that body on this chassis! 😝 Cheers

Stopped by a local shop that has a troopy-project parked in their lot yesterday and looked underneath. That piece of metal is factory, mines just bent back at the wrong angle. I think I'll just get a new sealed connector set, like a deutsch...

It’s continued to be an absolutely outstanding trip. Caught some bad diesel at a pump in Washington and it took out both my primary and secondary fuel filters. Luckily I’m stacked with spares. How are you gonna charge $8/gal and clog both of my...

been running the VL60 for about 5 yrs now. It is perfect for 4-6 ppl for a week worth of food and drinks.

I have an Iceco VL60 dual zone and keep beverages in one side and food in the other. I rarely use one as a freezer. The compressor side, lower 'niche' is usually the coldest spot, if I put frozen food (usually meat) in that spot, it stays...

Just finished the Alu Cab conversion on my 95 Troopy

Need to fill up the RV in the Bay area tomorrow , not looking forward to pump 90 gallons at 9$
