If I get a Rig with no lockers and a carb can I run with the big Dogs 🙏 😁

Rear axle delete @RevISK I got up that rutted twisty thing on the first shot, but with no locker I have to carry momentum. It's a bouncy ride.

That same section was where I may have seen the need for a rear locker. As for the fuel issues, 3FE for the win!

Quit braggin'! And yeah, one of the turns on that short stretch was pretty dang rutted out last year. It's also the steepest 20' of the trail. I can see a locker there.

Bring a right axle, the left will break. Whatever you bring, it will be the thing you didn't bring that breaks. Looking forward to sat phones becoming more affordable. Until then food and water and blankets for as many days as you think appropriate

Man, I could write a book on this topic. :lol: I've always had what I needed to repair trail breakage except for the time I needed a bellhousing. :lol: Ultimately what matters is what you are going to be doing with the vehicle, what can possibly...

Adding to my list: Made friends with Jim 👆🏼

Worth it.

When I got stuck in that area last year @Beastiethe70 set up a winch line from the top of the hill to drag my a$$ up. I was almost to the top, probably just about where the photo was taken. Maggie knows what the hell she's doing and had the whole...

Smoke screen. Keeping that Jeep at bay!! (He was actually a cool guy).

Message to those waiting for Aluminum glove boxes. It may be a few months until I will be able to get a prototype and test them before they are available to order. As mentioned before I have a full time job and make glove boxes in my spare time...

The flange nut will take the place of the washer. Remove washer, use the nut.

I agree it looks like a flanged nut. Not the right one. If it is pulkl the washer out and you should be fine. But you may be better off just getting the right nut. Dyno

I had to lengthen the high/low shift rod to accommodate the longer transmission and AA adapter and didn’t have it adjusted correctly so it was in neutral as @cruisermatt and @NeverFinis said. Rookie mistake that cost me some time and effort.

My rig was built in May of 66. I crawled around and snapped some pics. Door hinges, never removed. Front bib never removed. Original Drivers mirror. The mount bolts to the tub don't appear to have a stamping but I'll wire brush them an...

There were tons of companies providing Toyota with hardware. And, more importantly, hardware had to ascribe to JIS which indicates that the markings and other aspects of the hardware all had to conform to generalized standards vs. only what...

Look at the Matt mobile’s mosquito defense in action! @Ditcherman, @smiledochill

Big week getting settled in post-SAS! I have day job deadlines and one kiddo started school. Today I found some time to work on CTP stuff… New batch of ABS cargo panels coming in (at least two of you are waiting) More Fire Extinguisher Brackets...

@nabbasi I dont have any early speedometers at this time. I do have some gears though. PM me with a picture of what you need and I can see if I have it.

I would suggest you mail me your original cluster. I can fix your odometer. The 50amp fuse needs a shunt to work otherwise the amp gauge will fry. I saw your pm will reply back to you.

@RustyNailJustin can help you out I am betting.

They say it's a direct bolt-on, but it didn't fit as well as I initially thought. Brackets on the sides had to be moved and inverted so that the condenser cleared the top core support brace—no modifications to the rig.

Happy to help with whatever you need for the Tcase and the rest of the projects at hand! Georg @ Valley Hybrids

Back from SAS and cheating on my main squeeze, my girl Norman. Spent the last few months daily driving Paul the 62 in preparation for SAS9 and with that run checked off and considered a win, it’s time to swing back over to my lady. First thing I...
