Took a little drive over the Rubicon trail last week. One little ding to the RR 1/4 panel and the RF flare and tire occupied the same space at the same time for a moment...and the tire won. Turns out the previous owners hack work held the flare...

Finally got the h55f installed! I initially did my manual swap last year and just did an h42 4 speed from a 60, it was much cheaper and definitely fun and cool. It was an adventure figuring it out in my back yard and making the parts I needed...

(False alarm everyone) MAYBE? Killed a timing chain. :doh: :flipoff2: Better here than on the trail. I have to come clean and admit that I reused the chain when I rebuilt this long block. Oops :rofl: Thinking out loud in this edit: aren’t...

Cheers

I put this next to Radiator Cap instead of Writing in back of Manual

I follow him on IG and he is out and about and doing some RD on new products. He got himself a 200 series and is testing parts for it.

And earlier in this thread I mentioned I would post pictures of the cleaned up wiring for the ML ACR and fuse. This really doesn't give you an idea of what it was like before. I had a 1/0 gauge wire in the fix and everything now is 1 gauge for...

Finally getting around to taking pictures of the cleaned up wiring and the little project I tackled today. Here is a comparison from the original ground from Warn. I looked and the best I could tell the original is 2 gauge I bumped up to 1 gauge...

Also, I'd like to say, if anyone wants to do this, but feels like you may be over your head, just do it. Buy the FSM, get a few hand tools. I have nothing special in the tool, department. Just the basics, and was able to make this happen. This...

Kayaked Mendenhall lake for probably the last time while the ice reaches the lake. Although it remains an enormous glacier and a huge tourist draw, Mendenhall has receded/retreated dramatically in the last few years. Third photo is the glacier...

And the state of things, pulled it all together, once i actually had it ready to pull, if only took about 30mins or so, got hung up on the exhaust for a sec, had to take pry bar to it so it would let go, then it got hung from the transfer case at...

Sounds like you are having a great trip princess time spent with your son!! IMO Top of the world trail is not that bad. Just ran it in a couple of months ago at Cruise Moab. We ran it backwards, up the left side With 4 rigs smallest tire was...

Mil-Spec, but I only attach the required items that need to be wired directly to the battery. For my small installs I have ran a power wire via a breaker to a Blue Sea fuse holder and from there I source power for my smaller stuff.

I am getting ready to re-wire the power/ground side of my winch. The negative was cut down at one point and no longer reaches the negative post on the house battery. Working at a battery dealer I have access to new wire, I am going to be...

I did a thing...

Tonight's work, Pulled CD player assembly, speaker assembly and transfer case shifter Measured the speaker for the center console. Ordered this pair, we'll make one fit, ill just wire the speakers into the fronts. If it sounds like s*** ill...

@AdamFire You right. I don't know s*** 🙃 On my ad, please ask questions if YOU are trying to buy, then DM me for negotiating. If your not trying to buy. . .thank you for viewing th ad 😉

More of a summary of the week than the weekend. I finished my 2500 mile sling shot from Orlando to Bozeman, MT. I arrived 1 hour before the boy landed so timing was good. Along the trip I averaged 16.1 Mpg which on 315's and loaded with front and...

Knocked out the coolant system this morning. New yota rad New yota thermostat and gasket Asisn pump from rock autos New fan blades Asian from rock autos I rebuilt a black hub years ago with 13k weight, still running strong so left it alone...

I read somewhere that cars imported from Japan over 25 years are exempt from the tariffs. Tariff on 25 Y/O vehicles

Stopping here tonight, have a few more connectors to unhook on top of the trans, and maybe pull the transfercase shifter. I also ordered the FT airbox lid, and I have a lead on an ft oil pan and pick up as well. Ive been debating if I just...

Thanks guys I/we appreciate your support and am glad you are following along. I am burning the “midnight oil” right now, well not exactly but after hours none the less. Cheers

Few more post primer, did the topside of the hood too. Cheers

Recovery mission in Whetstone…. Spotted this dude DOA. Whipped it around… Looks like the engine mounts were toast and the fan went into the shroud. I peeled back the shroud and then cut the fan fins down for clearance. Then...
