I upgraded to the 150A Sequoia alternator a few years ago so it doesn't sound like my setup will work very well for you if you're already taxing the stock charging system. Based on how other portable power supplies charge, you were going in the right direction by using an inverter instead of a...

That's a great trail! Did you take the J spur for a little bit of a bonus challenge?

After bending my second set of LCAs, I decided that it was finally time to sleeve them with 1.75"x.188 wall DOM. After that, I pressed in new bushings and should be good to go for a while. 🤣 I also ordered some LCA skids/stiffening brackets from @eimkeith and will weld those in after they...

I've been following different turbo threads over the last few years from @scottryana, @Heckraiser, @Cruisers and Co, and of course the Wits' End thread. That being said, I've been piecing together components to build my own turbo kit and have everything except a few, small intake sections as...

As others have said - escaped the heat this weekend and had a great time with the crew. Weather was about perfect, but the mosquitos were out in FULL force. I'm also trying to get out as much as I can with the pup, not sure how many more of these trips I'll get to experience with him.

I fully rebuilt the 1FZ-FE engine in my late 95 80 Series myself without much difficulty. The only work I didn't perform was taken care of at a local machine shop here in Denver - decking of the block/head, boring out of the cylinders (went .020 over) and minor work to the crank (went with...

You're welcome! The only way to possibly compare/understand different rigs' capabilities without individually driving them is by the trails/lines you've run in yours. Pictures/videos never accurately represent the actual pitch in real life, but the attached picture does a decent job showing...

I'm pushing 37's with a relatively heavy beadlock - so let's say it's about 124# per corner on stock gears. My rig weighed 6080# last time I checked with a full tank and some camping gear. I like to take the "pro" line when I can on med/hard trails within reason. I've built this rig up to run a...

I've had a ton of fun the last few days... Installed the Trail Gear 3:1 low range gears without any issues - pretty straightforward, actually. I am planning on boosting my rig at some point and really needed the lower gearing for the trails I run here in CO. I've run out of torque/power a few...

Sooooo... After working on my Mom's house in Wilmington, NC over the last few weeks (a significant amount of structural work, bathroom remodel, a TON of power washing, and a laundry list of other issues) I decided to take a scenic drive on my way back to CO. I started on Blue Ridge Parkway at...

Yep! That was definitely me! I'll post a couple of photos shortly of my drive down Blue Ridge Parkway over the previous two days. I needed to get back to CO otherwise I definitely would've talked shop for a bit. -- Jeff

Thanks!! She's been a fun project! I need to do a bit more trimming of the fenders with the extra offset, but not a big deal.

Just threw my name on the wait list. Guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed, or continue to make my own plans like I do every summer. lol 🤞🏼 Just got my "new" beadlocks thrown on this weekend.

I'm also playing around with a very cheap ($35) mod for the useless factory clock. It's an OBDII display/reader that I took apart to use the screen and PCB. The tape is there only for proof of concept. lol I will permanently mount this screen and will extend the ribbon cable in order to...

Played around in the mountains last weekend before the snow started flying. Found an AMAZING spot for the final night of camping. (little late posting pictures)
