Owyhee Jackass

Just chiming in here so I get notifications when they're ready to go to market. 160 km/h in yellow, 0-100 mph white, like post 19 looks good to me. 1989 BJ75, I believe perimeter lit.

I have to admit that part of what sold me was how well done the roof rack/solar setup was. Well thought out. The panels sit on welded tabs and are below the floor level of the rack. It doesn't give much non-panel area for packing but if I ever...

These are the PO's original photos but I haven't changed anything yet, partly because it's exactly the kind of versatile, spartan interior I would have built myself. The electronic panel on the right isn't hooked up but I'll be adding a...

Nice. I too need to get some of those floor pans. Need to fix the windshield frame leak first. Got any interior pics? How's the back set up?

I got mine from ebay. Only 130 AUD for shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254224952311?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tfoy0Q3VTw6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=hnH0xzzJTVK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

What's next on the Price is Right - oh yeah. A tiny matter of a rusty driver's side floor pan - as in bad. You can't exactly throw a cat through the holes, but you could push one through with a stick. (Sorry cat lovers.) I found a real old...

And the bushing that is very close to the same is for a 40, among other things. Bushing, Hinge Pin - https://www.fjparts.com/hinge-bushing-c-22_267_462.html My crude sketch is missing the overall height dim. which is 9mm. 8mm id, same as a 40...

Took my upper driver's side door hinge off to change out the pin. Bought a universal kit from NAPA, with the intention of 'making it fit', then realized that the bushing are similar, if not the same, as some other bushings I had in my parts...

No permit so we floated Carey to Hammer. Surprisingly nice water in that stretch. Than Hammer to Heller. The main was closed (fire) and all the commercials were bringing clients to the lower. Super crowded. Had fun though.

Sorry for the late reply, missed your question, it's a copy of a Velocirax that I built last year. Still a work-in-progress, I had to add some bracing to the hoops as the hollow 1/2" tubing bent a bit, and it flexes a bit (bike bounce) on rough...

I should have purchased these a long time ago! Game changer in driving comfort and a cup holder finally!

A little more progress on the interior. Put the Tuffy console back in. Punched some bolt holes in the vinyl floor for the transmission hump items. Installed the passenger seat and the instrument cluster. Put in the defrost hoses as well as...

Main Salmon? I finally got to float the Middle Fork this summer. Friend picked up a cancellation. Not the ideal MFS trip, took IKs and one lightly loaded raft as we had to portage the log jams and line another rapid that was full of wood &...

Been a while so an update. Spent the summer in the Pacific Northwest doing long trips on a raft through Oregon and Idaho. It was great getting back and camping the entire summer from my 60 series (pic attached). It’s an old friend that’s been...

Closest I’ve gotten is 100mm front & rear cross country bike with full shock lockout remote on the bar.

I'm in the same boat with the gravel-drop-bar thing. Think I just need a geared hard tail and put skinnies on it and call it a gravel bike.

I knocked around a bit on my flat bar gravel bike today. I just finished converting my OG Major Jake from drop bar to flat bar for knocking around and light single track. I have a new Super Jake that is building up with Ekar for real gravel and...

So I was going to just put the rear heater back in but it had 44 yrs of dirt in it and my new floor was looking pretty darn clean. So I took it all apart and gave it a good soaking with vinegar. Flow was really good through it. Gave everything...

Relocated the power window relay by buying correct connectors from Corsa Technic and making an extension cord. Put everything else back together. Tons more volume and better range of frequencies now.

I went for a ride along the main yarra trail in Melbourne yesterday. Was warm & sunny and no snake sightings yet but im sure they were out. Havent been on the MTB for a while and wasnt till I was about 10 mins into the ride that I realised how...

Did my first Gravel event. Not sure it's my thing. Friends of mine put it on and invited me out. Boise Gravel Gala, I did the medium course which was ~82 miles and 9k of elevation and am glad I did, I could have suffered through the long...

I need to repair my windshield frame and was planning to fabricate the pieces as I can't find them anywhere. Also need to do the front floor pans and my front fenders. I did some extensive rust repair on the rockers last year and fabbed most of...

We need pieces for common rust repair areas. I just ordered 75 series front floor pans from Australia. I don't know for certain, but I'm pretty sure that part of the body is not available from Toyota and is a very commonly repaired area. Also...

Lets do it

My "access hatch" is actually my removable fold up aluminium table, so I do not have that small latch at all. When my bed is down withvthe roof up, we can sit on it with our legs hanging down comfortably, and still have a an uninterrupted view...
