Headed to Moab, I got a head start on the group so I could take my time with this 22R, 33s and 4.10 gearing. “Slowly butt Shirley Clementine!” The group caught me around Monticello, Pappy in front in his well traveled 4runner. Beehive rock and...

First up was to remove the bed and then replace body mounts with some fancy energy suspension poly mounts, the originals were toasted! Then I welded on some marlin crawler sliders I got on sale for cheap. Tucked em close as I could. Lots of...

I haven't given up on this, just have a lot going on in my life. Plus our daily drivers both hit 200K so I've been spending time and money on a 2008 FJ Cruiser and a 2012 Ram 2500. They both were due for some attention. I did get bits of time to...
