    Builds Reconstruction after rollover - building The Champ 2.

    Man. I totally get it. (That's why I'm not on here much anymore... too busy with life) I also know what it feels like to let go of a rig I put so much thought and effort into. The parking situation makes things more complex. Got any friends with garage space so you can give yourself a short...

    Builds Reconstruction after rollover - building The Champ 2.

    This same thing happened to me in my Ram last winter. I hugged the inside of a corner on an icy day... turns out there was a 4 foot ditch hidden in the snow. It sucked me in and spun the truck 90 degrees. I was lucky that there was no damage and a passer by helped tug me out. This stuff...

    Diesel Transplanted 80 series Registry

    I've run an airdog on mine for 7 years now. I like that it has a water separator and filter in it.

    Oil on Manual Boost Controller

    Could be a fine oil mist that would normally be caught in a catch can... or fed back into your intake. How much are you seeing? (I can't really see anything come from mine when the engine is warm) If you hold your hand in front of it, what does your hand look/feel like? (Just to be sure it'd...

    Wheeling and Exploring in MT

    I have just been reading about the flooding as well. It's crazy that this isn't getting more media attention.

    Wheeling and Exploring in MT

    This thread continues to come through with good information. Do you guys Onyx maps out there? (I heard it was handy out there) Out east, Gaia is popular... or Avenza. What is your main source of information for route planning? I bought a Gazateer and that seems to have some good information...

    Builds GW Nugget's Family Haulin Lx450 build

    I think the closer to stock the body looks, the cooler it is. If you could incorporate the cut snake flares in a stock(ish) color/appearance, I think that would be really cool.

    Wheeling and Exploring in MT

    For some reason I missed your post the other day. If we can pull this move off, I will reach out for sure! Yeah, I'm not hearing of a lot of wheeling in the area. It would be wierd to move back west and actually have less wheeling than here in New England. But, it will be great to be back in...

    Wheeling and Exploring in MT

    Those MVUMs are interesting. I wish I could help you with 568 or beaver creek campground. (I've only visited the area once) The house we were eyeing was one map north, in the Hungry Horse MVUM. It seems like there are miles of FS roads near there. Have you explored out there at all?

    Absolutely! I'd take any information you'd be willing to share.

    Wheeling and Exploring in MT

    Ok, update time. I got approval from my work to go full remote and my wife is onboard. We are putting our house on the market and targeting the greater Kalispell area. Do any of you guys live out that way? Is there any exploring to be done out there? I was looking at a house online that is...

    Dodge NEW RAM POWER WAGON

    For anyone who searches and wonder why Power Wagons flex so much better than standard Rams... I grabbed a little data. I installed a single Power Wagon Articulink radius arm on my diesel Ram. (kind of like a Superior Engineering Superflex setup where the arms don't match on an 80 series) With...

    Builds 1997 FZJ80 to HDJ80 1HD-FTE + H152F

    It's been a few years since I bought my GTurbo but I have had the same short responses from Rhys. I ended up calling them around their opening time in Australia. I can't remember who I spoke with, but I remember that the person was really helpful. (I am almost thinking it was actually Rhys...

    Swap HZ block on a 1HDT engine

    You'll probably get better answers in the diesel section. But, to my knowledge... the block itself is identical between the 1HZ and 1HDT. (without pistons, rods, etc.)

    Builds Lumpskie's Diesel 80 build

    That's a great question. I was thinking I could get a temporary vehicle import permit for each country along the route... do you think that is a possibility? I also wonder if I'll need an international driver's license. I might have to swing by expedition portal and start researching. (anyone...
