We got solar! 3x 100W Zamp OBSIDIAN panels. About 10lbs each. I used Marine sealant and adhesive to glue the feet to the top rather than drill holes. I drilled on hole to run the lead down into the cab to the National Luna Smart Charger.

This weekend I spent doing little things. I’ll change some connectors to Deutsch. I’m missing the mating connectors to some harnesses and have unlimited supply of all Deutsch products. Also a $1500 crisper that kept after a project ended...

I use the Kirkland group 27 marine start/deep cycle batteries from (canadian) costco or similar from a company here called Batteries Plus, 2 in the 74 and 2 in the 81. I swap them out at the 5 or 6 year mark as preventative maintenance. Very...

Got both axles and all linkage pulled. Used the @TRAIL TAILOR press dies to get all bushings out. Worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY to have the correct dies. Getting everything ready for sandblast, then doing blitz black on everything with an epoxy...

Had a pretty scary experience in the last oil change in joacaba brasil. They put the truck up on the lift to drain the oil. As they lowered it to about the height to do the tire rotation the lift cracked the concrete mount. The truck dropped 6”...

I posted some pics of my ‘92 fresh out of the paint shop a couple of weeks ago. Since then I reinstalled the rack, jack, lights, and ladder. About all that’s left since paint is re-spooling and reinstalling the Warn EVO winch. I’m switching from...

Finished the free Coleman 2005 424 that I mentioned above. I saw it at the seller's curb when I picked up the 400. She was throwing it out. I used paint I had on hand rather than trying to match the coleman green, so this one is krylon sand. It...

Finally got rid of my temporary solar wire setup and used a Scanstrut cable gland to get the wire into the truck. DS-H10-BLK Horizontal Cable Seal Power Boat - https://www.scanstrut.com/marine/power-boat/cable-seal/horizontal/ds-h10-blk All the...

Relocated this sweet beast to it's new Rocky Mountain home. Fun times ahead!

Me either, at the tail end of some virus that laid me on my ass for 5 days.

Was putting my ‘92 back together after a deserved full paint job. Clear coat was starting to fail after 32 years. I made new door cards and upholstered them while the 80 was at the paint shop. All that’s left is repainting the front bumper...

After almost 50k km’s driven over 25 months I finally reached the end of the drivable road on the South American continent. The road doesn’t end in Ushuaia but rather at an Argentinian naval base about 3 hours south. I’m not sure what I was...

Nice to have a meeting on the "right" side of the bridge for a change... well, the right side for me :grinpimp: Stellar weather for the middle of March.

Hi guys, just wanted to hop on here as we've seen lots of comments about the retirement to this day. Todd is still looking to retire but we're still in business as usual! Although he's ready to relax, we will continue manufacturing all parts for...

I'll be there, possibly a touch late... and in a hyundai :bang:

Well, after two years of sitting outside I brought my truck into the shop and my plan is to start ramping up on finishing my engine swap. My goal is to drive it out to Rubithon this year…. Crossing fingers…

Wrapped up most of the lower body rust repair this thing needs! Wasnt as bad as I thought it would be in all honesty, prob because it is all imperfect and not totally flat. I don't know how master body repair men do the job they do with grinding...

Haven't posted in months... My cruiser windscreen got smashed in Jan. This was the appropriate time to rectify some rust in the flange, but I did the unthinkable and paid someone else to fix it for once. Glad I did, as the job turned out to be a...

Accidentally bought another roof. Was going to make one good one and use the other for my camper project but just gunna keep the new one as the window frames and trim are perfect.

:lol: 👍

Skinny swampers and shiny front bumper - that's an OLD pic!

Yes you should!

I'll miss this by a few hours :bang:
