Jennifer Boyd, Tim's wife, reached out to me on Facebook Messenger to let me know there's a Celebration of Life being held for Tim on October 11th between 1pm and 4pm at Wye Hill Kitchen & Brewing · 201 S Boylan Ave, Raleigh, NC 27603 -...
My Cruiser was struggling to start and watching the Victron shunt and it was clear that the alternator wasn't charging like it used to. I purchased a new reman AC delco Jaguar alternator from RockAuto and installed it over the weekend. The jag...
We in business now though
Went to a buddies house, using a vise, both of us, a propane torch, lots of
PB Blaster, a pipe wrench, and a jack handle, and we got the old TREs out
And restored the drag link to stronger than rver
Today's project has been getting my skid plates ready to weld on the 80 - I did some CAD(Cardboard Aided Design) followed by some actual AutoCAD, and had them cut on the plasma table at work. Plan was to use 3/8", but they didn't have enough 3/8"...
The old wood stove would not keep both the old shop and new addition warm enough without propane heater back up. It would also not last through the night and the shop was bone cold every morning. This new furnace is a firewood burning whole...
I have a 37" spare mounted on a swing-out that blocks a good bit of the tailgate. It almost blocks the tail light as it is now. The tailgate is actually one of the only body panels, other than the hood, that are original and undented. 😋

That post pounder is one heavy sucker, well over 100 pounds. Plus the generator and the 25 foot hydraulic lines. Hauled it all around the forest. Put...
Hit this in the Tundra this morning
Going to celebrate by changing the oil for the first time.... lol JK. But oil is due, as are brakes and going to drain and fill the trans pan while replacing the gasket that started leaking a bit.
Shout out to @Cirbo. Days from moving and with a half-packed shop, he nonetheless helped Luke this weekend tackle a roll bar project on his speedster. We never would have figured it out. Stay tuned for future race updates.
Pour one out my brothers and sisters. Another good friend of ours is driving land cruisers in the sky.
Tim Boyd was a good friend of mine, and of the club. Unfortunately he passed away yesterday after a long battle. He will be remembered...
Is that BS lawnmower air filter on your valve cover your only crankcase vent? That is probably your issue, throw that crap away and see how it does with an open valve cover hole first. Those filters barely flow anything. You probably need to weld...
Put a new starter in cause it was turning over slow. And bought a new compression tester, compression is perfect. Found an oil leak on the turbo drain fitting and got that fixed. It was hard to to tell if the smoke was coming out the exhaust or...
