Painting pisses me off. This is not going well... It's acrylic paint from Cruiser Corps. Second coat. After priming, sanding primer, and scuffing the first coat of paint with 400g. 1st coat of paint had a full week of cure time. From brief...

1982, and yesterday

Ok, so another needed change. I pick up really bad driveline vibrations around 65-70, and am scared to go faster than 70 with how bad it gets. Problem: this engine wants to go 80+ all the time it seems. Current idea for a fix: Ruff stuff 9.5"...

Pretty sure I already replied, butt…

I'm back from Cruise Moab and starting to scheme again. Let me know what you guys think, I have some major interior upgrades that I want to do.

2024 has been great so far. New shop is raking in the bucks. No more sleeping in the 80 . I was able to buy a tent!!

Here's a few pics from cruiser summit last weekend: And a video loading the truck up: And another of the tilt cab: Thanks, Mike

Here's a quick update as not much has really changed on the truck. A pic by a bonfire: And the latest project that's taking most of my tinker time: After a few months i was able to do this: Its a work in progress but its proven useful...

Backed it into the ditch, drove the Hilux on. Took a minute to find the right ditch though. I'm going to have a rollback meet me in Montrose to get it off. The way home it'll be just the pickup on the trailer. The 40 is staying in Colorado...

The Clustertruck lives. Total weight. 2 guys, a dog, ¼ tank of fuel. I'm betting we add another half ton of gear and crap. Pickup weight Trailer weight I think the pickup weighs 6500# with me in it. I ordered a new one and it...

Had a few hours this morning. So made good use of it. Finished stripping the underbelly, wiping it down and spraying undercoating. Transtar is the product. Jason TT

A roller again. Jason

Finally picked this up from the laser cutter yesterday! Very excited, the cuts came out beautifully with almost no slag. A quick test fit on the spare transmission case and everything lines up great so far. Only the clearance holes are laser...

Going back together. Jason TT

Frame is back from powdercoating. Might be a couple weeks before I get it rolling again. Jason TT

Decided to make a new tank. 40 gallon Jason TT

Made some really good progress on the rear speaker enclosures this weekend. I dislike paint work. I'm pretty patient, but painting is a skill that requires some talent too. I'm lacking in the skill department. 😆 They look alright. I'll have...

LS power steering STAINLESS STEEL pump adapters. These are extended to clear the pulley (WITHOUT REMOVAL) and allow for a simple 6AN fitting to be installed. Jason TT

Andrea says it looks like Bruce... Love the color in the sun. Be darker on a cloudy day. Has a red and violet undertone as you walk around. Jason TT

@Delta VS Radius arms will go on in a few days when the frame gets back from powder. Thank you again Dave. Jason TT

Thanks Dave, should see it in the sunlight tomorrow. Went back and forth many times to get the color I wanted. Jason

Cheers

Polished main cab. Jason TT

Wet sanding has begun. Only needed 2500 grit to get a little trash out of the clear. Jason TT
