Hit up the remote OBX 2 weekends ago.....cool and windy

Took advantage of an 82F mid-April day in Chicago to wash the truck.

Starting organizing my part hoard. Impex delivery came today. Got a 105 shaft steering box for $1074. 150kg total of parts shipped for ~$300. Pretty wild that I spent about half compared to even amayama or partsouq. Was in the USA in 2 days but...

And strong finish for the week. Cheers

The last few days has been building out FTE swap harness. Unichip with OEM Toyota plugs so it can simply be removed or installed by plugging in these two plugs. ECU wiring. Love this wire we found for projects like this. Everything...

Cheers

We have some big plans for our 2024 lc250 FE once we receive it! What are your thoughts? Think it will make a good trail rig and compete with the bronco and jeep market? Ours should arrive soon and we are planning to give a crawler build a go...

I've done plenty of front end work over the course of my life but never had the luxury of rebuilding the knuckles on an old Toyota. What an experience it is. Isn't there supposed to be a s*** ton of grease in here?? It was nice being able...

Checking in from Colorado.

The 62, 60, 80, and 100. I have a lot of plans for the 80.

The Princess: Daphne, our 1990 FJ62 w/Fj60 grille conversion, 2.8 Cummins and FJ80 axle/suspension conversion. With/without retro stripes & alloys:

The 100 on one of its shinier days up in Nova Scotia. 2nd shot showing why we call it, Crumpy. Fun fact: The second photo is just before departing back to Seattle.. In about 200km that Hi-Lift was gone on the TransCanada. Luckily without killing...

Was looking for a quality tie rod/drag kit but haven’t loved the Japanese 555 kits. After some researching, I saw that Joint Fuji is highly regarded, but hard to come by. I looked for a while, but didn’t want to order from overseas so I was...

Let's kick off some camping in the Beckler River area. We'll meetup in Monroe at 10:30 for an hour and a half for those that don't want to camp. After the meetup we'll head up to the mountains and find a camping spot. Meetup location TBD

I haven't been able to test flex yet since I'm still finishing up my LS swap, but here are my 37s on a 3.5" variable flex dobinsons setup. The front is lighter than stock now with the old boat anchor engine being replaced, but all I had to do to...

So I’ve been lame with general updates. Started a new business (Senior in-home care) late 2023 so been very busy during the day. Yep…the goal is I’ll have enough experienced caregivers that I won’t have to depend on either of my two boys to...
