SFROMAN

After a year or so of training and loads of other BS i figured out i was getting station in Savannah, So during Christmas break i came back up to finish her up and bring her home with me, Finished installed the fuel cell, buttoning up some...

Got back towards savannah and heard quite the bearing whinning noise from the transmission/transfer case, limped it back and pulled it apart the next weekend to figure out what was up, pulling the transmission in the barracks parking lot was not...

Spent a day on dirt with my dogs, experimenting with adjustments on my minty fresh new Dobinsons MRR shocks. Did just over 100 miles in total, and found that empty boat ramps make for a fantastic and repeatable damper test rig. I did 6 passes on...

Decided to bite the bullet and go after the head gasket so hopefully that will give peace of mind for SAS. First time I’ve tackled a HG, so I’m sure it will be a slow process. Thought I made pretty good progress in 3hrs with the upper intake...

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...

Got the engine in and locked down with all new motor and trans mounts!

I’m working on this old thing a little at a time.

Angus and Crock Pot registered.

Picked up a 97 the nice gentleman delivered it. This one’s not blown up which makes my machine shop happy when I drop them off for clean up and machining.

Radius fab snorkel from Long Rang America Temp connection, better flow version in the works.

Tore down and got my rusty rear housing sandblasted to repaint and rehab. Going to reinforce my ring gear and skid armor the bottom the housing when the prefab cheater parts come in.. I used a 2” plumbing fernco rubber fitting, 2” schedule 40...

I leveled the truck with extended front shackles. It sits a lot better than before. My front OME CS005F springs have really settled.

Another playground run. Just wrapped up a front axle rebuild into a refreshed straight housing, a full knuckle rebuild, new front brake lines, a Dobinsons IMS kit from @samc2447, caster shims from @orangefj45, & tire rotation.

The budget build continues with a badly pitted spare tire rim that came with the Patrol (all 4 were pitted pretty bad). I voted to smooth it out with JB Weld. Luke voted to weld it up then grind it smooth. Slow going.

Cruiser for science in the Kisatchie National Forest, LA this weekend. At one point I misjudged the lack of solidity along the shoulder of the road. Had to winch out.

Took the 60 out of its two month hibernation checked its fluids and drove to Las Vegas! Rig did excellent! Didn’t miss a beat.

Complete rebuild with RCV chromoly axles, Wit's End knuckle huggers, 100 series brake pads, braided brake lines, Slee's front shocks, drag link, tie rod, and billet front control arms, Fox 2.0 shocks, Dobinsons adjustable front panhard bar, and...

Picked up a new ratchet! to tear down another one.

J pipe wrapped and new wiring harness installed.

Decided to mount my Co2 inside my 80. Can access everything from the slider window. I’ll get some more photos up once fully painted and finished. Was able to use all factory bosses.

I got it out for a shake down run. Over the last few months I’ve been upgrading with the focus of road manners. Coming from bias ply swampers and caster bushing, it could be a handful on the road. Recent upgrades include tcase gears(hi and low...

Like @surfpig I had to get out for a equinox trip. Found an awesome camping spot 45 minutes from home.
