Installed some new-to-me door cards all around. New window regulators/motors from Cruiser Outfitters, added some sound deadening to the inside of the doors, new vapor barriers, new window seals along the inside of the door panels, and some One...
Didnt get any pics, but was a busy and productive weekend. Got my rear upper and lower adjustable arms finished up and put in. Did the @eimkeith track bar brackets, and redid the drivers side brake line to tuck in better with the new bracket...
My next project.... 79 Troopy
Finally dragged this home from its foster care... It's bounced around a couple owners recently and should be with its forever home now... :)
Stay tuned...
Installed the new front diff with Yukon 4.88 and arb locker. Slee extended stainless steel lines, new oem calipers and rubber brake lines. Rear diff hopefully this weekend.
Started my Sumo crawl and 10% reduction gear install.
Press work was pretty simple. Just waiting on seals for reassembly.
Then I got this gem from Toyota. Time to go back.

Completed the carpet on my buildout a while ago and forgot to share pictures! It feels so much better with the carpet in, gives it more of a cozy feel than just having a bunch of wood around you haha. I built this with skiing in mind, hence the...
Was putting my ‘92 back together after a deserved full paint job. Clear coat was starting to fail after 32 years. I made new door cards and upholstered them while the 80 was at the paint shop. All that’s left is repainting the front bumper...
I cut out the wheel wells in the front and the lips out of the rear. The lips on the flares were cut out because I’m running a 17x9 -38 wheel. 17x9 -25s seem to slip by the lips on the rear of the flares by just a tiny bit. The front and rear had...
I have 37x12x17 super swamper SX2s on my 80 and they barely measure 35 inches…another thing about big tires is they break parts..if your after the “look” and pound pavement big tires look awesome.
If you wanna wheel hard and keep the truck...
2016+ DPF 79-series hood grafted to the 80-series hood. I am running a 1HDFT turbo diesel with a functional top mount hood scoop.
