Hello all. I'm a new GX460 owner. Picked up this 2019 earlier in the year as a project. I've done a few things to it so far. It has a Dobinson's lift, Method bead grip wheels, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT tires, Garmin power switch, KC...
What part of state are you in? Maybe unclaimed baggage store would have options. My wife bought little hard case travel on at Tjmaxx or Ross type store a few years back.
Since Relic Run Musturd has been kinda neglected.. the temporary rear SOA sagged enough so that pinion pointed up enough for the U-joints to bind on acceleration due to the axle wrap.
A friend needed a loaner car this week so got it in the shop...
Doors and front frame are all new NOS, not China-made
Also, I learned that when a 45 troop got bad, busted tools door, the truck is not clean; however, I found this dude in AU selling a super nice replica, and I don't know how much I spent...
This is a first for us. Derek bought a short 70 and then flew in and Meshal took him out into the Dunes !
He also drove other models to see if there is another style he wants to buy.
He’s planning on getting his wife and another couple and...
I was building VW buses back in the days y’all are referring to and was a founding member of an atlanta bus club that met and camped regularly. That group kinda faded away as people got older and buses got trendy. Loads of new folks with annoying...
Since you picked up John McPhee's Basin and Range, you should read "Assembling California". Great explanation of the geology of the Sierra's and the rest of the state. A good (off)roadside companion.
Total
14,934 miles since this all started in January of 2025
Trip Total. Big miles this trip.
Still in one piece. Bruised but standing.
These tires are the s***. They look like new. Lots of volcanic rock and no cuts
I rolled into Carson City and washed the truck and met up with Steve Pryor for a beer at Reds Old 395
His 60 is getting an upgrade at his sons shop and he had to slum it in his 200
Today’s track.
It was a great drive...
Made it to Hell Hole Reservoir at dark and half ass listened to the NFL game and drank a few drinks.
This morning I got up a little before dawn and made my way south toward HWY 50.
I kept passing mean Asians in Toyotas glaring at me. I text...
Getting to Dissent gets me south of I80 which gets me into the Sierra.
I grabbed another track off my page I’ve been using called the Tahoe backcountry track.
It’s awesome. I absolutely love the Sierras.
I sold a truck to @Dissent off road that he’s building into a SEMA monster. I wanted to see it and bypassed via asphalt to HQ.
Man. I’m not going to post anything that’s not quarantined until Sunday but Ben has an amazing operation going on. So...
I woke up before dawn to try to get to a great sunrise spot. Made it but it was overcast.
Went to a place called Pelegreen Jeep trail and as I was approaching there were camps everywhere. I asked a local and they were all deer hunting. I...
I rolled hard to get to Lassen Volcano National Park before dark. Ran it clockwise.
Had the whole park to myself. Like I rented it out.
Small but well laid out. Great views of the mountains. I’m sure people that like to walk up these things...
7.17 a gallon at Denio Junction.
Breakfast was great. The server lady was local and told me great Nevada stories. She was an on call nurse for off the books issues at the legal brothel in Winnemucca.. wild s***.
Followed out my route to the...
As I finally got out and started breathing normally again I passed the first person I’d seen in about 36 hours.
I waved. Drove about 200 yards then backed up and asked what they were hunting.
Muley.
I said. I saw one. Nice deer. Took a...
Hard to imagine what a morning I had.
I woke up at 4 am to pee and could not get back to sleep. I don’t drive in the dark on these things because what’s the point in that? I’m not here to “wheel” I’m here to see.
I looked at the topo and...
So far so good on this truck.
One of the trucks that is usually on this trip with me has them and they impressed me so much I’m putting them on everything now. Most all of my customer builds are getting them too.
