How many more days till SAS10 ? Asking for a friend...

Great minds 🤪 2,642 miles and SAS9 is a wrap for us. I'll get some pictures up later. Thanks again to everyone who made this event possible. We had a great time. Second guessing leaving Colorado though with this humidity - and it really...

I don't know what I messed up to show them twice. Colorado sure does have great camping! Top pic: No filter, just got lucky with the android phone cam. Background looks like a painting.

Nah, just me…thank goodness. And here’s a picture 30 minutes after the flop of the real heroes of this flop. No broken glass, no broken mirrors & no dents. Scratches that will buff out…well that is if I ever buy any wax.🤔 And my friends got to...

I know John does not want me to post this, but I hope when I’m 82 years old I’m out there tipping over land cruiser and having fun. Absolute legend.

After having a few days to put gear away and reset, it has been a very long time since I have enjoyed an event as much as this one. The "feel" is visceral. I don't know how else to define it

I had the pleasure of wheeling with John Mcvicker and is friends from the eastern sierras in Moab after SAS. We ran fins and things and hells revenge.

Onur, you have to carve out time to be at the 10th annual. We need to get as many of the original group (20 something) in attendance next year. You can set the bar.

The essence of this event is the egalitarian nature of being present and engaging with other humans. No AI; no BS; no valuations of “importance”… I was lucky enough to be at the first event many moons ago. Casey and team have made this into a...

@bhardy78 with Tina 😍

I re-jetted the Weber carb for 7k ft elevation where I live based on a friends 22r Weber 34/36 carb that starts and idles perfect. He took notes and I borrowed em. I bought a redline re-jet kit and swapped em out. It purrs nice but cold starts...

More pictures north of Moab on a tight road to camp near a beautiful point!

Some spotting was necessary for a few big trucks. I had a friggen blast! Little Clementine did awesome! At one point we pulled over and I noticed a small puncture in my tire, I pulled out my tire plug kit and in a few minutes had plugged the...

This was a great 3 day, 2 night camp driving north to Moab with a kickass group of fellas!

Headed to Moab, I got a head start on the group so I could take my time with this 22R, 33s and 4.10 gearing. “Slowly butt Shirley Clementine!” The group caught me around Monticello, Pappy in front in his well traveled 4runner. Beehive rock and...

I installed sound deadening and a vinyl floor kit. I placed it in the sun until it got flexible but it kept stiffening up while installing. I got short changed on the corners under dashboard, it just didn’t have enough and I failed to check...

First up was to remove the bed and then replace body mounts with some fancy energy suspension poly mounts, the originals were toasted! Then I welded on some marlin crawler sliders I got on sale for cheap. Tucked em close as I could. Lots of...

Get a new crank. Readily available from Toyota 13411-17012. 1 available at the Toyota Boston parts depot. Order today and you should have it in 3-4 days. New bolt, new keys, and a new pulley setup. Away you go spinning again.

The 2021 Tundra drivetrain is completed. Standalone harness and all the Toyota securities bypassed.

Finally caught up a bit. Moved the chassis jig back into position. I'll get it leveled up tomorrow and then hopefully by next Friday I have a complete roller.

Custom quarter panel storage panels.

now onto transmission compatibility. the donor truck was a 5speed manual truck. the 5 speed 4cyl 2nd gen Tacoma's use a r155f transmission. the bellhousing can be used to adapt a 2tr to a v6 transmission however my truck has a w56 and I wanted to...

Clearing out some stuff in the garage, let me know if you are looking for anything. Prices are negotiable and I'm open to trades, make me an offer! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3010768019262564/...

This belong to anyone here? If it's yours, nice job, it looks great. Let me know when you want to sell it. 😁

Most of the kc crew got back by 1am. Few still on the road. Co dot apparently hit their lights to pull us over but thankfully @theSherpa pulled out behind us and they gave up the chase. My 45's on Black Bear. Great time now back to maintenance on...
