    2024 40s Only Run planning thread

    the rock crk trail looks like a dandy, snow might be an issue on cowbone and caruthers is caruthers. it's a great trail esp if you have'nt been on it before. also the added benefit that if your passenger get's lippy you can boot em out at the prison

    2024 40s Only Run planning thread

    the trail that goes by racetrack lake and ends up in phillipsburg can be a fun trail during runoff season. a trip to fisher lake can also be adventurous. the nice thing about pburg is the candy store

    Wouldyou buy a house in Butte?

    i'd rather drive to butte to shop than go to bozeman. Sam used to play music with a bunch of guys from butte and anaconda so we spent a lot of time over there. Sadly butte is becoming more civilized than it used to be but it still is better than anyother city in mt. it's very community...

    What have you been doing with your Toyota?

    I’m really glad we removed all the spring packs, all the center bolts were bent and ready to break. Tnt in belgrade is a lifesaver, they will bend you your ubolts as you wait and have whatever else parts you need. One other thing that is going to hurt is I am having to have a 1” longer...

    What have you been doing with your Toyota?

    Sam made it home for a few days and that usually means a project, i had previously bought a shackle reversal kit from jerimiah for the 40. I had forgotten about it and was on the shelf. He decided this was the time so off we go. I was kinda nervous cutting off the spring hangers and welding in...

    Builds 76 Fj40 Face Lift

    i had the top off for restoration and took it to a local vinyl wrap company. we found an old state of montana road map and they made it fit the roof and installed it. i had put a layer of lizard skin thermal on before they did the wrap. turned out very nice , don't have a picture with me...
