Having used WitchHunter in the past, I regretted hearing he closed up shop due to medical reasons.

Okay MUD brain trust, how are we loading our paddle-propelled boats onto high/lifted rigs? I upgraded to an Alu-Cab wedge tent, just got the load bars to go on top of the tent and got my ol' Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 ready for water after 4+ years of collecting dust and UV damage. The load...

Sounds like your engine and its cooling components are in good shape at this point but the overheating during prolonged high RPM still happens, I second that this is a partially clogged cat (likely the forward cat). I had an overheating issue that shares some parallels to your... the cat was the...

@SUMMIT CRUISERS Jr 's Swing out is the bee's knees! I have the DIY weld kit and absolutely love it; his new bolt-up design appears ingenious and I'd be first in line if I needed one. I know the 4x4Labs was mentioned but the drawback with that one has always been that you lose the rated trailer...

I think you misunderstood my point about the stock battery tray; never mind the hive mindset about “leave it stock, Toyota is best” (which I don’t always agree with either, BTW), I was pointing out that you’re making it out of a very conducive material that will hold a ton of heat (baking your...

🤦‍♂️ RE: 1 - I’ll skip over the fact that I never actually said nor implied that “they were the same” and jump to the part where the 1980’s (if not earlier) designed brake boosters in our 80’s series are not some new-fangled design made with super-secret features by the magical elves in...

Necro bump after searching... SO! After watching this booster rebuild video on the YouTubes, two things come to mind: - Rebuilding a brake booster ain't that complicated. - Why isn't there a rebuild kit for the mighty 80?

Thanks! It was for the most part as these things sometimes go on public land. Shared some beer with strangers who were slower than us to this perfect little spot; then had an altercation with a wannabe Ricky the Ranger because he didn’t like us marking that the spot was taken about a hundred...

Went camping with the new to me Alu-Cab roof top tent (replaced my soft-shell ARB tent)...

What's you ignition timing set to?
