      Nice to see everyone continuing to wheel this yearly. Hopefully my family will make up to wheel with the group next year after we settle down in our new home in North Carolina.

      Thanks for the prompt response. I went to the Allegheny National Forest with my son and camped and explored some forrest service roads during his spring break. Need to get Gaia or some other trail map app. Something other than google maps. I may...

      My son and I went to anthracite on Saturday and it was a great time. He drove his ‘93 80 and I navigated. We did something we’ve never done before which is drive solo and also get all the way out to the end of the west property. We kept it simple...

      I remember that when I had the Downey Toyota Kayline 1/2 cab on my ‘74 FJ40 the air conditioning was outstanding because of the cab being so small… The a/c did extremely well with the hardtop but that 1/2 cab could freeze both of us, and that...

      Finished sealing the top and doors with Canvak yesterday. Finished the perimeter weatherstrip on the doors and utilized what I saw on the corners of FST doors dad had that were original and had rubber left on them. Used a strand of wire from a...

      10:00 is late for my liking but these guys are hella slow, and hungover. So 10:00 is probably about right.

      I just found out there is a new offroad park opening up in East Stroudsburg. They're having their soft opening this weekend so there isn't to much detail or an official address yet. It's only 90 acres, so a little small. But it sounds like...

      Looks like my cabin is booked Wednesday July 9 through Saturday night/Sunday morning. Tom and Karl from CT will be there Monday as Tom is bringing the whole family for a family vacation. Looking forward to a great time as usual.

      Best guess? It was just it's time. After 15 years of abuse it gave up. The doubler and 4.77:1 low range gears didn't help. Neither did the v8... or 36" tires

      So here is the rest of the damage. The shaft is cracked, bent, and twisted. The other damage was the speedo gear and the housing.

      At one point I had at least 4 OEM rear driveshafts in my garage. Some were pretty beat up. I had a fabricator source 1/4 wall DOM and he cut the yokes off the old shaft, turned down the ends of the tubing to fit the OEM parts and weld it up...

      Anyone try 9010511044? Later driveshaft bolts and they appear to be 30mm long vs 28mm (9010511013). I can count two extra threads on the 9010511044 bolts, which confirms 2mm extra length. Not a huge difference, but 2mm is about the thickness of...

      Is now a good time to say something about 7/16 fine thread bolts? 😄

      I did break a 21 spline t case input gear that was from TG. It was a design flaw. It broke at a hard angle. (Stress riser) the revised gear had a nice smooth radius that eliminated that stress riser.
