Since June I've had a slight radiator leak from the seams. No loss of power or fuel mileage. Recently I developed a slightly rough idle and a misfire on cyl 4. I just did a compression check cold, all plugs removed, throttle closed and cranking over 3 times. #1 155 #2 165 #3 151 #4 82 #5...

I haven't been easy on my LC, here is one of my latest outings.

Over the past few years I have been researching LS swaps for more power and economy but was never satisfied with long term reliability of GM engines and the many quarks that come with an engine swap. I have decided I will stay with the 1FZ and look what I can do to make it a more enjoyable...

Well I have't had time or money to do much work on it but it has been used and abused. I'm now sitting at 215K miles and is mostly just a woods vehicle until winter arrives. I upgraded the tires to 35" Geolander M/T G003 and have loved them. No very noisy and grip well. My s***tybuilt winch...

Thank you. I've done many upgrades that I haven't had time to post. I'll try to get caught up in this time of isolation.

Trail tested my new 35" Geolander MT G003's with the rear swaybar removed. Good flex and no rubbing. I need to off my ass and get a 4x4 labs rear bumper to hold the spare.

Nice build, We need to get together and hit some trails before I leave the area.

Thank you, I received my Lock box today. It looks great, however the lid doesn't open all the way. I thought this was fixed and why we had to wait?

All dressed up for Christmas

Any update on this? Thanks, patiently waiting.

Delays and mistakes be damned, I'm thankful you are making them again. After waiting a year what is a few more weeks?

I ran a single 10ga wire from the engine compartment through the fender and up the driver rain channel. I ran two 12ga wires the same way up the passenger rain channel. The 10ga is the ground and the two 12ga give me two independent light circuits.

The LC hasn't gotten much love lately. I've been busy fixing/upgrading the RV. Hopefully in the next month it will be ready for an extended winter trip towing the LC. New perimeter lights Coverage, nice camping light without creating light pollution.

Well we have been traveling so no new upgrades to the 80. The wife wasn't happy with the sleeping solution so we agreed on an upgrade. My first thought was to tow the 80 behind our F250 for better mileage. Nope, we settled on a solution that gets worse mileage. In the end I am not...

Can you post a picture of how it mounts to the pillar? I need to install mine as well. Greatly appreciate the picture of the mounting holes in the fender.
