The other day, I noted cracks in the fuel feed line. Not leaking yet, but definitely due for immediate replacement. Had a local tractor mechanic to rebuild the piece. 20,30€ dead cheap. Bleeding the fuellines however was a PITA. It ran for 5-15...

Get rid of the ACSD. Get the block of kit: https://back40imports.com/store/ols/products/acsd-delete-kit

Tossed a Hallman manual boost controller on the 77 over the weekend. Seems like a nice unit but still need to play around with it. Upcycled a bracket to have it stand-off Tor's air filter box a bit. Only place I could fit it and still be able to...

Then headed to Glennallen where we parted ways. Jon was off to McCarthy and the Kennecott mine. We headed to lake Louise for our last night.

Nabesna mine. The tailing still had a light sulfur smell.

Next morning back to the hwy and stopped again at the road house at the bridge over the Maclaren River for lunch and pie and ice cream.

The abandoned mine home. Surprised that not much trash was left.

Onwards

Next day went back to the Denali hwy and headed to the Maclaren River district, stopped at the lodge at the bridge and after some lunch asked the bloke working there about the river conditions/height. He said the river was lower than normal for...

Since changing the gears in the transfer case for a more hwy friendly ratio I had not been able to get a good mpg result. So yesterday I did a 300mi loop-Hatcher pass to Willow and back. Was a beautiful day. Topped off today and it penciled out...

Purists, you might want to skip this one. You've been warned! So after sitting on the parts for a month or two, today I cut a big hole in my hood! I'm aware of the merits of an FMIC. But I didn't want to crowd the already narrow front end with...

Well, I was finally able to install the BMW seats with the new brackets that Planted sent me. I did have to weld in to 3/16" thk pieces of plate because the seat rails were wider than the Planted adapters. The seats are comfy as heck but are...

Here are a few from Ophir Pass. Stunning scenery.

Cheers

So much work but getting there. Cheers

About there on the hood, ready for a thick coat of primer and block sanding to 400g. These are the best doors I own so running them. Best fenders I own too. The rest of the body parts are stripped as well. Cheers

Legend, Ian. You guys are amazing and appreciate you sharing it all 🤙

The flip down jacks I added are much better than the landing legs. . Even if the level of the ground falls away I still have plenty of extension to reach it without stacking levelling blocks now.

Got the new ladder installed. Gamiviti roof rack next (being built for me now)!

Washed the bride's FZJ70 and was not in a rush so I attempted to clean under the hood. The FZJ70 is a 1997 model from Saudi Arabia that is in great shape, so I was not anticipating the results to be very pronounced ... just a getting rid of...

Been a while and thought I’d post some new ones. I found a really nice Reed 4C and I think that will replace the Columbian 205 I had on the corner previously. I’d forgot how MASSIVE these are. This one is from 82 and has the replaceable jaws...

So the Decked is for a 05-23’ Tacoma with the 5ft bed. It’s the closest we could find to a plug and play system. It did require some plastic carving between the wheel wells at the front of the bed to fit it. Here is how we have setup the...

Used my the 8274 to pull out a horse trough I buried about 10 years ago. It was a planter to contain bamboo that only survived a few years. It was pulling the truck, with three wheels blocked. Initially tried 'lifting' it with the snatch block...

Block sanding for days, more skim coats of filler and more block sanding. Another coat of 2k primer extra thick, more block sanding. *sigh* Not sure why I am getting this agro on level of detail when I just plan to wrap a bunch of the body...

couple of thing... Custom snorkel and installing the electrical on the EATON F/R lockers. I replaced the bulky, messy wiring with a 3 relay block (2 will serve the lockers and 1 the lights) and adding the OEM switches with potted connected...
