Just finished having new 5.29's put in by Mark Whatley. So glad I went with these gears. I debated it a lot, between 4.88's and these, but after reading on here the arguments for both, but up here in Alaska, the places I have gone and want to go more to, would benefit from 37's or bigger. Now...

Picked up a set of military OZ's x 5 (0 miles) and a set of 24 bolt wheels (still in box) from a guy this week. In return, I helped him clean up his shop of things he didn't need, and a donation of an Rockwell belt sander. I know there are mixed opinions of these tires, but for a total cost of...

FATS Autoparts tends to have good prices and has been able to find most of the parts for my 80. The rest i have to prder and have shipped from cruiserparts.net. they have yet to disappoint me. And welcome to Alaska, been here 6 years this time and a total of 10 together. Absolutely love it...

Finished mounting up new rear bumper by Sean Huston. Amazing set up, I especially like his configuration of the swing away feul can holder.

Drove up to the Matsu Glacier with some friends. My dog got stuck on one of the floating ice pieces. We had to push some larger pieces to him so he could get back to shore. It was difficult because we were laughing so hard. But all in all a good day. First time I've been able to try out my gear...

May wnd up passing you on some of those trips. We're planning family trip down to Kasilof beach this summer for dip netting.

Thanks

I have this setup arriving this week, what did you use to smooth out the welds on the inside and clean up the mounting plate surface. And I'm not much of a welder but if i got to far can it be fixed with some spot welding. Just started my hand at welding and have a stick welder but access to a...

No, its solid one piece similar to ARB only better design and stronger snatch points.

Replaced front knock sensor and rewired clip into harness, rewired rear knock sensor into hareness, welded off both PAIR valve ports on exhaust manifolds and painted with high temp paint. Finished install on new DC Fabrications front bumper. Now just waiting on new winch to show up.

This just happened to me yesterday. Turned out it was my fusable link. Replaced it and started right up.

Backed out of a parking lot at 10 below zero to find a puddle of power steering fluid coloring the snow. Driving down the highway was not to much fun. Looks like I'll be busy finding the leak and fixing that next.

This is more like a construction project. Just finished last of the required mechanical work and have finally started on the slow (mainly due to cost) build up. Before and current pics

Finished rear drawers with padded top. Just long enough to lay down in with second row seats down. Looking forward to trying it out this summer fishing season.

I'd be in for a set to have up here in AK. Would come in great for camping up here instead of having to open the whole rear hatch and let the plague of mosquitoes in.
