No updates worth mentioning, just charing the battery and ripping it around the hood on occasion, oh and I destroyed a hornets nest last weekend :D I did get this Amazon notification. I wonder what the Mrs would say if I told the Amazon gent to...

Betsy and I both bought one of these during the Black Friday sale. I know she has used hers' several times when the power went out. It will recharge in 90 min on standard and 60 min on quick charge.

Got Retro fired up under TBI and desmog. Huge thanks to @doseman and @matzell as “call a friend” options

I am also offering to lead an overnight Thursday/Friday trip starting on Stony Pass, Kite Lake, Heart Lake (time permitting), Carson City and back to Ouray via Engineer Pass. Please let me know if you are interested and bring a tent, food, stove...

I have a very busy week ahead. Over the weekend most of our parts arrived to get the 45 axles finished. Tires and Rims will be picked up today and expecting temps to be over 100 degrees all week. I had a buddy stop by and he asked what exactly...

SOLD!

I have never seen spider gears welded like that, but it makes sense with a c-clip axle set up.

That’s right, Chris! No excuses. Hell, I quit my job to make it there this year! (I’ll decide later if I’ve “retired” 😆)

Built back knuckles today. When swapping from a pre 78 axle housing, in order to use the larger 60 series birfields you have to open up the top and bottom of the axle housing The carbide bit is the best tool for this work Test fit your...

Iron Pig Off Road skid plate back on. Bottom side is about wrapped up. I have some heat shields to install and it should be good.

51 hrs and counting down!

I got lucky. I think? My twin stick shifter kit does not appear to work or it is missing some parts. I was able to make a small adjustment to the linkage and the stock 60 series shifter works great and clears.

Ole girl got a fresh load of 15-40 with Zinc. Fresh coat of Fluid Film on this perfectly dry desert frame

Working on a lot if little things this weekend. I got lucky on the T-case shifter. I bought twin sticks years ago. Not sure what kit I got, but it is missing parts for this. I cleaned and installed the stock 60 series shifter. Made. 1/4"...

Ouray Colorado. I will be travling 70 in from the East.

Made a deal with a buddy and jumped up to 37s on Methods. Truck is still running great and the 6.2 could care less about the larger tires haha

I like 50. Very chill.

You guys are getting me excited. I will be heading around the mountain from Hermit Lakes on Sunday afternoon and most likely via Highway 50 from Lake City, though I might go through Silverton. I will probably see some of you out there. I am...

Can you get this to Solid Axle Summit? I can pick up for @FamilyCamper

New addition to Maple Ave. Already a fan of trips in the ‘60. Birdie - left and Millie (Irish twin from the same parents) - right.

LOL! I bet you are right! When I was forced to retire early 2 years ago (surgeries) I took a gamble and cashed out my 401K and put most of that money into AI stocks and companies that make key components for AI, so I hope that my pockets grow...
