Another clutch died. Time to build the trans with the parts I have had laying around. Thinking about just going auto to be honest😂 Trailer is wider now, no more taking off tires to go wheel life changing to be honest

Her maiden voyage was a success. Everything felt super solid. It drives down the road straight and is actually really comfortable. It’s exactly what we were going for as a dailyable rig that will be capable on the trail. The 4.88’s are perfect...

But if they were Red.. :hmm:

Agree with retaining OEM and rebooting. Best solution by far. That said.. my FJ came with parts store ones already that had boots failing so, popped the Cardone HD's ($75 at Rockauto) in with 26K miles so far with a lot of offroad and AWD road...

i just did hysteer on my 85. using dobinson springs. pin is essentially stock position. i have the box pushed all the way to the core support and clocked and sky pitman to get clearances. my 89 has the box pushed through the core so it worked...

And this past weekend I replaced a very dry & worn out inner tierod. Looks like I lost a boot clip and water intrusion killed it.

I'm running TG 3", tierod and drag link hit on compression. Wanted to do a "low" SAS but regular TG parts were available used cheap.. so it snowballed after that. With the RUF springs its even more forward (~1in?) than the regular swap springs...

In Hot Springs, AR

We marched forward finishing the axles and installed the trail gear high steer to set it down to see how it looked. The new springs picked it up a little more than the old ones which we expected. It seems to have good down travel and flexes well...

I had the same steering issue on mine, left the steering box in the OE spot. Moved axle back 1" and couldn't clear 35s with decent backspace wheels at the firewall so I had to move it back to its original spot. Flat pitman or the 3/4 drop Sky...

Continued.. Made it to GSMTR in Windrock but failed at taking pictures. Was cool to run some of the more scenic trails and pose on Panther Rock. It had been 10+ years since I was there in a Samurai trail rig :grinpimp: This past weekend was the...

Another year and still kicking. I think this was its first snow EVER being from TX.. Various trips around the southern Appalachians And sunk it.. In its defense, the ruts were cut by SxS's. Pulled into the hole and felt the skid plate...

My bolts made it. Started assembling my outer axle parts. Hopefully FINAL assembly instead of test fitting and mockup. I still have to see if I can run a thin steel wheel spacer to clear the calipers or if I'll be grinding the other caliper. I...

yup, fortunately, Lakandula survived the 35th Rubithon unscathed. I struggled harder this time though compared to last year.
