Painting pisses me off. This is not going well... It's acrylic paint from Cruiser Corps. Second coat. After priming, sanding primer, and scuffing the first coat of paint with 400g. 1st coat of paint had a full week of cure time. From brief Interweb research, my second coat was applied too...

Who's ragging on the State? Being run by psychopaths is the problem.

Lol. Until Kalifornistan says NEIN to combustion engines of any sort. County road doesn't matter then.

I would like to do the Rubicon as well. If trends continue, someone will get their panties in a wad and see to its closing to those evil oil powered vehicles.

It is truly wonderful when you build a business from your grit and sweat. Watch it flourish. Then revel in the sweetness of victory. Congratulations Randy. We all knew you had it within you.

As an insight, Chris and I can lift the back of the Hilux. I only pulled it about 12 miles as a test. It was pretty well behaved. Settled after bumps nicely. Decent cross wind yesterday, but nothing wild. There is a lot of weight on the ball currently. The pickup has a pretty good squat...

Backed it into the ditch, drove the Hilux on. Took a minute to find the right ditch though. I'm going to have a rollback meet me in Montrose to get it off. The way home it'll be just the pickup on the trailer. The 40 is staying in Colorado for a bit. I wanted to load it with the...

I like my Cummins R2.8. If I were to do it again, I'd be interested in the Cummins B3.3. All mechanical injection. Also an industrial engine, so it will be tough All of the quirks that I don't like about the R2.8 are computer related. I think a 1FZ would be a good match as well...

The Clustertruck lives. Total weight. 2 guys, a dog, ¼ tank of fuel. I'm betting we add another half ton of gear and crap. Pickup weight Trailer weight I think the pickup weighs 6500# with me in it. I ordered a new one and it shipped. Allegedly. So I'm curious how it...

Gearing is gearing. Every engine will turn the same rpm without a gearing change. The H55 overdrive isn't much. I think there is a 400rpm difference between 4th and 5th. Even with 3.70 gears and a H55, I'm turning 2400rpm at 70mph

It'll sink a bit. Probably not an inch, but ½" for sure. Flares are a bit of a sin in my book, but not my vehicle

I'm gonna day it won't work. I'm all for trying of we've got enough winches. Might take a week too. 😆 I'll just be dropping n off of 70 at Grand Junction. There's a really pretty road at Glenwood Springs that I took a couple of years ago with the trailer. I was empty though...

Might wanna hang onto that vest. Things are getting weird

I also think they are American Racing wheels. I have a set that also came on my 76. If you like them, find a place to have them powdercoated before putting new tires on. I had 5 wheels for my 80 series powdercoated recently, it was $400 to have them blasted and painted. Which iv thought was...

Good to know, I was planning on going that way again.
