I did PRP Daily Drivers in mine. Them being a suspension seat and having the little bit of extra containment in the hips makes them super comfortable on long days. My one gripe (and a major one at that) is that the material is already falling apart. I’ve had them 3 years now and the trucks not a...

Then a few days ago at a friends wedding, I got to talking about my trip on the rubicon and I mentioned how I ran out of fuel.... turns out a friend had a solution to that problem and this came home with me Rear mounted aux fuel tank. Excited to get this plumbed up. Will be easier than hauling...

No big changes since rubithon but stuff is in the works. I am not sure how much time I have in the Sierras before the snow starts falling so I have just been playing as much as I can before that happens. Two weekends ago a few friends and I went and ran a pretty easy trail near my home town...

It was a fun surprise. Was running out with nobody in front and nobody behind but ran into a little traffic there. It was fun to spectate for a bit.

A 5.3 is in my future… just not sure when. The q-jet is my next step for sure though. Quick and easy swap and I can keep dialing in my driver skills and feel of the truck. I want to find the limits of myself and current setup before adding more. What really holds me back from the 5.3 anytime...

Yeah that’s it. I’m really considering putting a small fuel cell under the rear cargo area with a transfer pump plumbed to the factory tank so I can get some extra range. I’d like to run dusy one day as that’s much closer to me than the rubicon but the amount of fuel cans I’d have to carry would...

I’ve had the regular ol’ edelbrock 1406 on there since I ditched the Holley efi from the 90s that was failing on me. It’s great driving around town but leaves a lot to be desired offroad. A lot of decents were done via the starter and the climbs required decent amount of throttle and careful...

Going through the Buck Island area was fun wheeling but in hindsight, I should have stopped more to appreciate the lake because I can barely paint a picture in my head of what it looks like. Eyes were down trail and I just kept motoring along. Started Big Sluice hoping to get to the springs...

Now a quick Rubithon Recap. This was my first trip to the Rubicon and my dad had not been in 20 or more years so we were both basically going in blind. We were registered as a "Renegade Run" because we weren't sure if we would be too slow for a fast group or too fast for a slow one... We had...

So I meant to keep this updated during the days leading to Rubithon but that obviously didn't happen. I had a lot more planned prep but decided the truck works well and I did not want to stress out and thrash to get a bunch of things done that aren't totally necessary. So I kept it simple, did a...

Yep thats me

Yes I am. I have to check the dash plaques but I think this cruiser was at the first one in '89. I know theres a 1990 in there...

So I have neglected the thread for awhile now but the cruiser has not received the same treatment. Since I rebuilt the sm420 in the summer of '21 I have put tons of miles on this thing and have had a great time driving it and wheeling locally. I've decided to update the thread because I am going...

Thanks for the responses everybody. Working on replying to everyone via PM

ISO a 3spd transfer case for my FJ40. California only so I do not have to organize shipping.
